Masterful Magazine has recently published an interview with TO-MERA bassist Lee Barrett, conducted by Belgium based scribe Wouter Roemers. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: How much does To-Mera identify itself with this crop of female fronted metal acts around these days? You certainly are heavier, forward thinking and don't base whole albums around your attractive front-woman.
Barrett: "People like to compare us with those typical symphonic/gothic bands, but besides having a female singer, I can't really see what we have in common with them. We're a progressive metal band who just happens to have a female singer. In the past we have turned down press opportunities where magazines were only interested in pictures of Julie, etc. She's just not comfortable in such a role and being seen in this way."
To-Mera’s second album, Delusions, was recorded in August 2007 in London, UK. The album was engineered, produced and mixed by Brett Caldas-Lima of Tower Studio, Montpellier, France and features artwork by Eliran Kantor. Delusions is slated for release on February 18th through Candlelight Records. The song 'Inside The Hourglass', has been posted on the group's MySpace page.
