London, United Kingdom (2005 – present)

To-Mera is a progressive metal band from London, UK since 2005.

To-Mera began life as a project between Julie Kiss (ex-Without Face) and Lee Barrett (ex-Extreme Noise Terror, Disgust, Mussolini Headkick). After a series of fluid lineups, the current stable incarnation of To-Mera began in early 2005, after Tom MacLean (a fan of Without Face) met Julie at a Dillinger Escape Plan gig and offered his services as a guitarist. Julie then enlisted the help of her hometown friend Ákos Pirisi as drummer for the band, and work commenced on writing material for a demo.

The intention was to fuse the musical interests of each of the members within a dark and atmospheric framework. As a result, To-Mera’s style can be described as a mixture between the assorted metal sub-genres, classical and jazz music.

The demo, comprising the tracks

Dreadful Angel and

Born of Ashes, was recorded in July 2005 at The Peel in Kingston, on the laptop of of up-coming French producer Brett Caldas-Lima.

After a surprisingly positive reception on the internet and in various magazines (including being awarded “demo of the month” in both Zero Tolerance and Organ magazine), the demo was finally picked up by UK label Candlelight, and the band were offered a deal.

Once a permanent keyboardist was found in the form of Hugo Sheppard, the band spent the winter 2005/2006 writing material for their debut album.

Transcendental was recorded in May 2006 at locations in west Hungary and London, again with producer Brett Caldas-Lima at the reins, and released worldwide in September the same year.

I was disappointed with it as well, but by no means do I think it's a bad EP. It just doesn't come close to the masterpieces that preceded it. Although, I do like the new style a bit. The keyboards and bass really bring the album up imo.

You know, the EP is growing up on me. Actually I'm liking a lot more than before.

"The problem is" they just made two excellent albuns and because of that we were expecting a masterpiece to come. Earthbound is okay, enjoyable and there are some amazing passages, but nothing compared to Transcendental and Delusions.

I found that Julie's voice sound better. But for the rest, I agree with darkgobblin.

The new ep is boring at the first listen. They left the dark progressive for a more melodic sound. And it doesn't work at all. The lack of versatility and power in Julie's voice is easier to notice. At the moment it's IMO between average and OK, and I doubt it grows on me.

Great gig on Saturday, although the sound quality was awful (not To-Mera's fault). I'm glad they did one of their old songs :)

@C2600: youre just at the wrong page, look at your main tags: nu metal, emopop, emocore, alternative rock, hardcore, hard nurock, heavy metal, indie rock, post hardcore, indie emo. To-mera is the best prog metal band, nothing in comon with chemical romance, from your top 10.

They're not boring xD their songs are long and that's all. As a matter of fact I think they make very good combinations of gothic metal, progressive and jazz beats. I'm listening to the first 2 songs of Delusions but damn do they sound awesome.
