Tempest was a British progressive rock band active from 1972 to 1974, formed by drummer Jon Hiseman and bassist Mark Clarke following the split of Colosseum. Known for a jazz-rock fusion sound, they released two studio albums: Tempest (1973), featuring guitarist Allan Holdsworth, and Living in Fear (1974), with guitarist Ollie Halsall. Discography & Style Tempest (1973): Often considered the stronger album, featuring a quartet lineup. Living in Fear (1974): A more direct, three-piece lineup featuring Hiseman, Clarke, and Halsall. Style: A mix of hard rock, progressive, and jazz-rock, often noted for virtuoso guitar work from Holdsworth and later Halsall. The band was relatively short-lived, with Hiseman moving on to form Colosseum II after the split. A 2007 anthology, Under The Blossom, collected their studio work and live recordings. Tracks: 01.
