TERAMAZE returns with their 4th full length album after completely grabbing the attention of the underground Thrash and Prog-Power Metal fans with their 2012 release "AnhedoniA." Teramaze blends amazingly tight and speedy syncopated guitar/drum riffs and rhythms, with melodic hard vocals, for a very unique brand of metal. Creating a Testament & Tool meets Pantera & The Police in a dark sci-fi video game vibe. Teramaze burst out of Australia in 2012 and received well-deserved critical acclaim worldwide with their release "AnhedoniA".

Watch video teaser HERE!

Their music conjures such adjectives as, "Innovative", "Progressive" and "Groove-laden" but most notably, "Engaging". Keeping the fundamental elements of metal alive, Teramaze pushes metal into un-chartered territory with guitar work that is incendiary with powerfully aggressive vocals that drive the song.
The album on Nightmare Records will be distributed by Sony/RED.

"Esoteric Symbolism screams at the men behind the curtain, shining a spotlight on the establishment in an attempt to share their secrets."

For fans of Pantera, Tool, Metallica, Devin Townsend & Soilwork...(Think Dream Theater on steroids without the extended wankery) Produced/Mixed by Dean Wells and mastered by Lasse Lammert (Alestorm, Stuck Mojo).

Some Quotes on the album:

"Very well put together heavy metal record with awesome guitar playing and interesting melodies.' -Francesco Artusato (all shall perish, devil you know)

"Edgy melodic tunes with quality production all add up to a great modern prog/metal album. Excellent guitars, vocals, keyboards, drums, bass - not a weak link in the Teramaze chain! Highly recommended!" -Ted Kirkpatrick / Tourniquet

"Awesome. I love the songs, production is great and the guitars sounds incredibly tight. Love the instrumental opener, some cool voicings. Very modern and punchy. And the most important thing is that it sounds original. I'm definitely a fan."- Marco Sfogli- (James Labrie,Jordan Rudess,Virgil Donati)

"Esoteric Symbolism is a wildfire resulting from the spark created by AnhedoniA...a rare combination of elite playing, extreme focus, and sonic enormity." - Frank Serafine (senior writer at Metal Underground)
