:This article is about the band. For the record label, see . 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. The band grew to be very popular as a progressive metal alternative to the grunge music scene at the time. The band's greatest recording success was in the European rock markets. The 1995 album, "Into The Realm", was featured on the German and Netherlands Metal 100 charts. 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.
