Teramaze was a Christian progressive metal band from Melbourne that existed for most of the 90s. Early material featured on on of Rowe Productions' Christian metal compilations and an album appeared in 1995 with the line-up of Paulo, Wells, Ritchie, Brett Rerekura (vocals) and Adam Burnell (guitar). Rowe released their second album three years later with Johannes and Adam Wilke (guitar) replacing Burnell and Rerekura. This album was particularly melodic in a '''Queensrÿche'''-like fashion. While Teramaze remained quite obscure, they did develop a solid fanbase and a strong reputation for good material. "Not the Criminal" was a live recording and issued worldwide on CMC International.
