French heavy metal band Last Temptation has signed with Metalville Records for their third album, Heart Starter, due out on 22nd November.
Following two successful albums, as well as appearances at such festivals as Hellfest, the band founded by guitarist Peter Scheithauer (Killing Machine, Belladonna, Temple Of Brutality) is ready to embark on the next phase of their musical career.
In 2019, Last Temptation released their self-titled debut album and in 2022 Fuel For My Soul marked their final breakthrough. At the beginning of 2023, a line-up change marked an important turning point for the band. Annihilator drummer Fabio Alessandrini, a real high-calibre performer, joined the band, Franz OA Wise (Hellbats) took over on bass and Loup Malevil (Sabotage) became vocalist.
“The variety of musical styles we now bring to the table is broader than ever before”, explained Scheithauer. “With Loup and Fabio on board, we’ve found a new dynamic that gives the songs a more sumptuous flavour and is reflected in the catchy lyrics.”
The new line-up had a successful debut as the support act for the Hollywood Vampires at the Zénith in Paris on 25 June 2023, where the audience was impressed by some of the new compositions and the quality of the reshaped band.
Peter Scheithauer said: “Our classic sound is still there, but with a touch more freshness. Imagine the current energy and dynamics merging with the power of American hard rock from the 70s and 80s… That’s the new Last Temptation formula.”
