Bio
Amara is a quartet of musicians (guitars, bass, vocals, drums) from Portland Oregon, who's style of music falls under no category but for reference sake, they're a progressive-alternative metal band.
I received a cd of their music a few months back and was pleasantly surprised with the originality they possess. Mostly any metal act, progressive or alternative is usually a formulaic release but Amara breaks that with it's use of progressive and some psychedelic and spacey instrumentation. So you see it's hard to compare them musically but after several listens of this cd-r I firmly believe that they will appeal to fans of Fates Warning, OSI, Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Radiohead, Tool and others.
I do believe it'll be on many people's top releases of 2008. In you want to hear their music, and I highly recommend you do, the band has set-up shop at MySpace.com with plenty of samples.

Chapter 1 The sun directly overhead a courtyard filled with people standing neatly spaced in union their children out before them quietly raging peacefully embracing and in the center a small man standing larger than the rest – a pillar to the others a prism dividing the light into each of them. Who is Simon? In the beginning there was nothing; no problems, no worries, no happiness and no joy. Then came lucidity and self-awareness and the child which was running on auto...
