WOW!This amazing album is one of the most spectacular and impressive in the last time that I've discovered!It's pure technical wizzardry here and TO MERA surely represents the future of metal!The Brit band fronted by the impressive JULIE KISS on vocals-from Veszprem-Hungary-is one of the surest values in the new prog metal wave of today's music!Musically speaking TO MERA's style is prog metal,with some jazzy influences and even trash or death,for the intensity of the musical message-but with the angelic voice of the charismatic Julie!The length of the album is more thwn 60 minutes,but all the tracks are catchy and diverse ,very intense and tortured sometimes,having an average timing of 8 minutes each!Great technical skills,sometimes almost scary and impressive,many musical ideas-sometimes to dense and tortured,but the feeling is that TO MERA has a huge potential!In the same track we have massive guitar riffs a la OPETH..then some jazzy ones...clean and calm...then monstruous fury a la EMPEROR and overall a fantastic science to mix all this styles in a monolythic form-something innovative and intriguing!They are fantastic technicians,but the compositional aspect must be cleared a little!I have the feeling that the guys have to many musical ideas to be exposed in a single song!The changing of themes and rhythms in each song is outstanding!The debut album TRANSCEDENTAL was amazing too,but this second one is pushing even furtehr the limits for TO MERA...and I am sure the future looks really bright for this extremely talented band,because ,as I said before,their potential seems to be huge-both creative and technical!!!4.5 STARS for something fabulous!
