Tempo Tantrum is a USA heavy metal/progressive metal band founded in 1991 by members Shaun McConnell (drums), James Carsone (guitar), Dion Pomponio (guitar), Jeff Hutchison (bass), and Steven Gasior (vocals). Although they are currently considered a progressive metal band, their origins could be attributed to power metal as expressed by their two earliest albums Meet Your Maker and Into The Realm. Tempo Tantrum's popularity peaked in the mid-90s as the opening act for heavy metal bands Savatage (North American Tour 1994) and Fates Warning (1997)). William Chrapcynski performed bass with the band in 1995. Ken Mauch took over bass duties from 1995 through present day.
