Biography

At least two bands call themselves Mare: a black metal band from Trondheim, Norway, the other was a progressive sludge band from Oakville/Burlington, Canada.

1) Members of Mare from Trondheim play in other notable bands in the Norwegian scene such as Kaosritual, Celestial Bloodshed, Grenjar, Black Majesty, among others.

“Those who heard the call of the Nidrosian moon sabbath, come forth and wander deep into these spheres like death, mysteries and darkness…
Some call it Black Metal, some call them Nachtmahrwaltzer. but we call it life. A life that that reaches it’s worth only when the offerlams blood fills the chalice…”

2) Mare from Oakville/Burlington was a band orchestrated primarily by frontman Tyler Semrick-Palmateer, previously on vocal duty for tech-metal outfit The End. In a unique mixture of , and and other textures that defy immediate genres or categorization, Tyler brings a mix of desperate screams and haunting melodic singing in a style that seems to be a natural evolution from his performance on The End’s album Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscient.

Mare has a 5-song self-titled EP initially released on Translation Loss Records. The band was later signed by Hydra Head, who re-released the EP. A cover of the song Night Goat was also released on a tribute album to The Melvins, compiled by Fractured Transmitter Records.

In February of 2007, Tyler posted an entry on the band’s myspace stating that Mare was over due to a lack of motivation to write and record more material for the project. He did, however, indicate that he and Caleb intend to collaborate in the future.

    There should be a option by Lastfm to allow that bands with the same name have separate sites. This way things just dont work out properly. A option for separate sites would avoid confusion and misunderstanding. I dont know the other Mare but Mare from Norway are one of the best black metal acts ever. And a superb live act for those who into black metal. Meanwhile it would be good that Lastfm could solve this problem. Like in www.metal-archives.com, there are separate sites for bands with the same name.

    No I'm not sure, you mean who didn't want to head to Europe? The only member who wasn't an original part of Mare was Matt who filled in on bass for Scott (did a great job and a real nice dude). I'm not sure if it was him who quit before the tour.

    Well I saw them twice: once on Thursday and again on Friday. It was amazing both nights, and Tyler's vocals are still incredible. Those screams. Here's the full set from Friday night if you guys are interested. Two nights I won't forget.

    I suppose it depends why whoever has quit the band, if he didn't want to travel on tour but is still willing to play the couple of local shows then fair enough. Hopefully they'll find a replacement, bring out a new record and then come to Europe.

    That's fucked man. I asked and it seems the two shows here in Canada are still on at the moment. Depriving Europe/UK of their excellence is criminal though.
