The Temperance Movement return with New Promise Land Incorporated
The Temperance Movement’s first all-new album in eight years is out, produced and mixed by Ethan Johns after live-to-tape sessions.
The Temperance Movement’s New Promise Land Incorporated arrived on October 9, 2026 through Earache, bringing the band’s first collection of all-new studio material in eight years. The fourth studio album follows their return to the stage in 2025.
For guitar-minded listeners, the clearest production detail is how the band worked. The official release notes say the album was recorded in April 2026 with Ethan Johns, who produced and mixed it. Guitarist Paul Sayer describes the musicians playing together in one room and recording live to tape.
A band-in-the-room recording approach
That account gives the reunion a concrete studio dimension. Rather than treating the return as a tour alone, the group made a new set of songs around a shared performance setup. It is a statement about the recording method, not proof that every sound was captured in a single take or that no overdubs were used.
“Eat You Alive” was introduced as the first single. It is one of ten songs in the main album sequence, alongside titles including “Silverlight Blues,” “Mongrels” and “Saving Grace.” The official store provides the full running order and the available editions.
What is on the album?
- “Shadows”
- “Eat You Alive”
- “Silverlight Blues”
- “Love Kicks”
- “Scars”
- “Mongrels”
- “Hometown Kings & Queens”
- “Always Been Love”
- “Saving Grace”
- “Let It All Out”
There is one format detail worth keeping straight: the song “Who Cares” is listed as a USB bonus on the signed vinyl-and-USB edition. It is not an eleventh track in the main ten-song album sequence. Readers comparing editions should check the specific package rather than assume every version has the same extras.
The official Earache page is the starting point for checking the album and its physical editions. The new music moves the band’s return beyond the stage and into a fresh studio chapter.
