Supergroup Temic is the third band announced for ProgPower Europe 2027
The international prog metal supergroup Temic will take Sjiwa stage next October as the third name for ProgPower Europe 2027. This announcement brings a couple of familiar faces back to Baarlo as well, and we couldn’t be happier about it!
Temic takes its name from a Nahuatl word meaning dream. The band was born on the road when Diego Tejeida (keys and sound design) and Eric Gillette (guitars and vocals) toured the world together in 2017 in Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress and dreamt to build something of their own. They brought in Norwegian drummer Simen Sandnes (Shining, Evergrey, Arkentype), who in turn recommended Fredrik Bergersen Klemp (Maraton) as the voice of the band. Bassist Miguel Pereira (Withem, Big City) completes the lineup.
Their debut “Terror Management Theory” came out on Season of Mist in November 2023 and made several year end lists setting the band’s sound right away: high energy electronics, sharp riffs and soaring vocal melodies. Since then the band have proven themselves live many times over. They’ve toured Europe, played Cruise to the Edge and appeared at festivals such as Midsummer Prog. Their second album “Ceiba”, a moving reflection on loss, arrived on 2 October 2026, followed by an European tour with italian progmetallers Kingcrow.
For two of them, Baarlo is not new territory. Fredrik sang on this very stage with Maraton at ProgPower Europe 2023, and Diego played here with Haken back in 2013. Welcome back to Baarlo, both of you!
