TEMPTATIONS FOR THE WEAK - Video zu "Desperate Measures"
The Belgian modern metal band ‘Temptations for the Weak’ returns with their most ambitious and versatile work to date: the new full-length album “The Venom Inside”, which will be self-released in full on February 27th, 2026.
The band known for their explosive fusion of thrash metal, metalcore, and melodic aggression – elevates their sound to a new level with a collection of ten intense, dynamic tracks that captivate the listener from start to finish.
An album born from ambition, growth, and international collaboration
For the production of The Venom Inside, the band chose to work with top producer Scott Atkins (Grindstone Studio), known for his work with Sylosis, Cradle of Filth, Machine Head and Behemoth. Atkins’ signature mix of raw punch and crystal-clear definition gave each track on the album a strong, distinct identity.
“Scott knew exactly how to create the raw, powerful sound we were looking for — without losing our essence,” the band says.
The album also features a remarkable international collaboration: On the single “Crossroads”, none other than ‘Jesse Leach’, frontman of Killswitch Engage, makes an appearance. This feature underscores the band’s growing international reach and rising position within the modern metal landscape.
With The Venom Inside, Temptations for the Weak doesn’t just raise the bar — they redefine it.
“Desperate Measures blends old-school, filthy thrash riffing with crushing breakdowns — like Slayer smashing headfirst into metalcore, before slipping into a narcotic & hypnotizing chorus.”

Temptations for the Weak was founded in 2011 and has grown into a solid force within the Belgian metal scene. Their sound blends modern thrash, metalcore, and melodic metal into a contemporary, aggressive, and recognizable style.
With releases such as Spoken Silence and Fallen From the Stars, the band established a strong live reputation. They have played festivals like Graspop Metal Meeting, Alcatraz, Summer Breeze, Jera on Air, and have gained attention from national radio and international press.
Their previous album Fallen From the Stars (2023) earned them a label deal with Necktwister and increased international recognition, but for The Venom Inside the band deliberately chose an independent release — fully on their own terms, with maximum creative freedom.
