Tracks We Leave

Since forming in 1988, Tempest has delivered a globally-renowned hybrid of high-energy Celtic Rock fusing Irish reels, Scottish ballads, Norwegian influences and many other world music elements. Tempest are inspired by a Sioux Dakota proverb on the title track, which has a triple meaning of the environmental and the spiritual tracks we leave upon the world we live in, as well as the band tracking the album in the studio. Ganesh has a middle Eastern flavor with elements of Eastern mythology appearing for the first time on a Tempest record. Traditional Irish and Scottish Medleys mingle with Robert Burns poems, Norwegian lyrics, heavy rock instrumentals and bag pipes on Tempest's finest record to date. The last 25 years have seen the San Francisco Bay Area based act release nine critically-acclaimed CDs on Magna Carta, and play more than 2,000 gigs. 2015 will see Tempest continue touring and bringing their Celtodelic Rock to the fans.
