DELUSIONS

It is the first time that I hear To-Mera and the experience was more than interesting. First of all,I would like to say that I do not like bands with female voices but in this occasion I must do an exception. Julie's vocals are ethereal and perfectly fit with the music. So,what about the music? The guys are very technical and they combine different genres in their playing. Progressive metal,extreme metal,jazz and oriental elements. This blend is very persuading and it is not at all boring. If you like aggressive progressive as I calll it,then To-Mera are the perfect example. Their 4 first songs are groovy and powerful. One of the highlights is the first song, "the lie". It initiates aggressively but suddenly it calms down with a jazz aesthetic and it alters again in a more harsh image. One of the best songs for 2008. This band has many potentials and I hope that they will evolve more in the future. Because of their lack of experience I will rate them with 5 stars in stead of 4 which could have been the mark for this album if they had released more CD's. But as an only second work,they should be applauded for this excellent piece of progression.
