Transcending Mortality is a Sydney-based band plying a neat line in melodic traditional metal with a power metal influence. The band was formed in 2003 by former [[Baraka]] guitarist Talan; that band's drummer also featured on the three-track demo that won considerably strong reviews. After completing the line-up with the addition of Eves on bass and drummer Schriffer, the band began to develop a following. In late 2006 they supported '''Nevermore''' nationally before releasing a debut album in November.
