Band information

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.

Transcending Mortality undertook a national tour in early 2007 before supporting Evergrey in the middle of the year. Prior to this Chris Griffin left the band and former bassist Corey Eves returned to complete live commitments. After the tour, Nathaniel Smith joined Transcending Mortality and the group decided to concentrate on writing and further recording; however in October Jonathon Talan announced he had left the band.
