To-Mera - New Album Details


According to their band official myspace :

Hi Folks. Time for an update I reckon ..

Well, we've got 8 new songs in various states of completion. Titles confirmed so far include "The Lie", "A Sorrow to Kill", "Merry-Go-Round" and "Asylum". Working titles (IE: these could change!) include "Temptation" and "A Silver Key".

We will start the recording process on the 21st August, again using Brett Caldas-Lima who produced the debut "Transcendental". Recording will take place near Oxford, England at a purpose built rehearsal studio (which is a bit better than the "back room of a pub" like last time, hehe).

The music's definitely going in a heavier direction. I know most bands say this, but since Tom is writing a majority of the stuff with his 7-string baritone tuned to F# it's definitely true. The songs are also going to be considerably more complex and roundly structured than before. All the parts that have become "typically" To-Mera are still going to be there only much more so in every possible way. There's more fluidity and emotional depth to the new songs. We're all more than happy with the way things are working out.

You may be pleased to know the average song time is still hitting the seven minute mark!

We'll be doing some kind of daily journal when the recording actually starts. I'll post a link when it's available.

Cheers!

Lee & To-Mera.

You don't have to play with downtuned guitars to sound "heavy". I'm starting to get bored of bands that apply to this new philosophy of the metal sound.


Anyway, To-Mera is among the best band I've heard those last years so I'll be waiting for htis new release

Heavier and more complex To-Mera? Now there's a remark. I'm inclined to think To-Mera is heavy and aggressive as it is, I hope going more in that direction doesn't ruin their music. Still, I'll be waiting for the release.

they were walking down that road from the camp site towards the festival site..
I didn't say hello or anything though, I realised it was probably them by the time they had gone past.. haha. oh well

Wow, haha. I just meant it as a general English lesson to everyone, not the staff in particular, but thanks
(To anyone wondering, it's because it's part of a hyphenated word that's in a title of something)

You do? Damn... is it a promo copy or something? Are there any really aggressive tracks? From the samples that have been released, I'm not quite as excited as I was over the previous album
