To-Mera break through the starting gate with Transcendental, an impressive debut collection of dark, progressive metal exceptionally written and performed by this English/Hungarian collective. Featuring vocalist/lyricist Julie Kiss (ex-Without Face) and bassist Lee Barrett (ex-Extreme Noise Terror/Disgust), the band with over 25,000 enlistees in less than a year to their official My Space page, have a rising profile and genuine interest from curious music fans world-over. The recording of Transcendental in May of this year found the band splitting studio time between the two countries that serve as the various members home base. With up-and-coming French producer Brett Caldas-Lima (Kalisia, Fairlight) the album is eagerly anticipated by those who came across the band’s riveting 2004 demo (later receiving “Demo of the Month” honors from Zero Tolerance Magazine). Transcendental is an ambitious, epic, and forward-thinking metal gem that will appeal to a wide array of music lovers. Fans of Nightwish, Opeth, Nevermore, Symphony X, Meshuggah and Pain of Salvation and more pay mindful attention.
