TO-MERA – EXILE 2012

NOW!London GOOD BYE…

London-based To-Mera took matters into their own hands and self-produced their third and latest album, Exile. It’s concept album concerning some rather complex and perplexing matters. The protagonist, having faced hardship, suffering, and loss, places herself in personal exile to avoid any future harm. While in her self-imposed exile, she searches for answers about existence, humanity, and the meaning of life. Darn heady stuff. I’ll leave it to you, once you buy the disc, to discover the answers she finds.

Coming to a new To-Mera album can be quite the challenge. They play true progressive rock and metal, that is, always pushing the boundaries of complex arrangements. While the music is compelling and the musicianship first class, it’s hard to call To-Mera’s prog overly accessible or commercially viable. But if it’s intrigue and challenge you want, To-Mera’s delivers to the full extent, and that makes Exile entertaining.

Muse – The 2nd Law (2012)

“We are defined by the fact that we can’t be defined by anybody,” says Matt Bellamy, the singer-guitarist-pianist of Muse, as he runs down the range and nerve of the British trio’s new album, The 2nd Law, out in October. “There are electro-pop sounds and songs that are obviously classic rock,” Bellamy notes, referring to the machine-funk nightmares “Madness” and “Panic Station” and, in the latter category, “Big Freeze” and his lead-guitar blowup in “Animals.”

“Then there are the orchestral things,” he adds over lunch in New York: the strings-choir-and-metal “Survival,” already a hit as an official Olympic theme song, and the symphonic chaos of the two-part title suite. The 2nd Law would sound like “three different bands,” Bellamy contends, “if it wasn’t for my voice.”
