Transcending Mortality are a progressive metal band who formed in Sydney, Australia in the year 2002, and have carved out a reputation as one of the country’s most exciting new bands.
After supporting Nevermore on their Australian tour in late 2006 they released their debut album "The Last Horizon" which contains 7 tracks and 50 minutes of progressive metal with a high degree of originality, musicianship and songwriting sensiblility. The album has recieved great reviews from all over the world:
From Metalreviews.com(90/100 and album of the month)
... it is definitely safe to say that I expect this album to lead this band out of their native land and onto the international stage. With a debut combining sick technical chops, and memorable songwriting, you are being presented with a success story in the making.
From Overhookmusic.com(4.5/5)
... I hear something glorious coming from Australia. Sure, they have had few really good progressive bands also before, Eyefear and Vanishing Point to mention as examples, but Transcending Mortality adds their name to that growing list of phenomena from down under with their self-financed debut album.
From Pyromusic.net (9.3/10)
...There's something significantly unique about the 7 tracks 'The Last Horizon' contains. Something I haven't heard in years and a character impossible to intentionally replicate. With fire in their eyes, plentiful ability and torrential zeal, the Sydney quintet known as Transcending Mortality have delivered what is easily one of the most enjoyable Aussie metal debuts I've heard in a decade. Not only is the album great when compared to local competition, it is at the apogee of world Prog Metal. Transcending Mortality have outdone just about every one of their peers, influences and idols.
