Teramaze is a metal/progressive band from Melbourne, formed by Dean Wells, that existed for most of the 90s. Early material featured on of Rowe Productions' compilations and an album appeared in 1995 with the line-up of Paulo, Wells, Ritchie, Brett Rerekura (vocals) and Adam Burnell (guitar).

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. | Teramaze is a metal/progressive band from Melbourne, formed by Dean Wells, that existed for most of the 90s.
