[@fyrdow]

Hi! I'm glad to see everyone enjoying this and appreciating the work of these guys. I uploaded the album because it's one of my greatest inspirations. I'm also a musician (drummer) and want to share with you my band. It's called La Mar, we play post-rock / post-metal and we've released two albums so far. You can listen our second album, released three months ago, at www.la-mar.bandcamp.com. Hope you guys enjoy it!

[@endorfiene7457]

+Fernando J. Rodríguez thanks for sharing, enjoyed listening your bandcamp! post rock recently inspired me for picking up the bass again, havent played bass in 7 years..

[@shuggababi3022]

Yeah Caleb is a super amazing drummer, you should check out his other band wtchs.

[@gulinotm]

damn im glad i found this on here, i thought it was gonna be lost to me forever lol.

[@MV-ou3ik]

Is this band related to the end in anyway ?

[@sacredxgeometry]

Seriously can't stop explaining to everybody that this is the best 25 minutes of music I've ever heard

[@jackassjohn]

Was fortunate to catch them when they opened for Isis in 05

[@sacredxgeometry]

@@jackassjohn goddaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn

[@jakubrysavka6112]

yes. juggernaut of depression cleansing

[@claytonbill]

@@jackassjohn Me too. Was by far the best concert ever: Isis, Oxbow, These Arms Are Snake, Pelican, Mare, Big Business, Red Sparrow. Mare's first track is sexy.

[@EarzMorgan]

@@claytonbill Jesus....what a line up. TAAS are right up there as one of my favourite bands that I never got to see live....actually ISIS as well, I've seen most of Aarons other projects since ISIS but never actually saw them...that is a tragic realisation...

[@curtisgiesbrecht8325]

Those vocal arrangements at 19:00 send me into space and fold me in half. Like a cursed beach boys.

[@twolane7425]

I am sitting in a coffee shop in nashville Tennessee, and I am hearing this album for the first time. I don’t know how to articulate this correctly, but I feel so lucky to still be able to stumble along something like this in my life where my entire existence is swept from under my feet instantly. This is one of the most amazing pieces of music I’ve ever heard, it almost brought me to tears. I literally feel reborn.

[@Tool_jira_shugg]

Which part(s) in particular almost brought you to tears? Sun For Miles makes me teary eyed almost every time, and @ 2:39 Anisette sometimes does it too.

[@incarta958]

When I saw them live I couldn't even move lol

[@edoom702]

Man brings me back to my buddy Steve peak in 10 grade (long time ago) and him smoking me out with a zong telling me to sit back and listen to this ep he found. Changed my idea of music forever. Hope you’re well Steve peak and thank you.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

The greatest Ep of all time.

[@Alex-jk7xu]

agreed

[@christophergrow562]

Fuck you ....for being right

[@billyalarie929]

honestly i think you're right.

[@pisslord666]

ppl have no idea

[@n.penston8341]

This comment section feels like a special little club.

[@randomavenger3048]

Factmag brought me here. They put this EP as one of the best three Post-Metal records alongside Choirs of the Eye and Through Silver in Blood. Great record indeed.

[@kylepayne8242]

I remember seeing these guys at the Westcott Community Center in Syracuse in maybe 2005. They just ripped into this set of sounds, floored the 12 people that came on a Thursday night, then packed up their stuff and left.

[@elisabethhoughton5542]

This EP is like wine. How is it better each time?

[@agemadrid835]

I knew this guy, Tyler semrick-palmateer. I went to middle school with his younger brother Raynor. I used to hear him jamming back when he was the vocalist for The End. Silhouette was the best song they made. He was also in One Less Lie. It’s a shame he quit that band too. Really good stuff!

[@sacredxgeometry]

Much respect!

[@saltrocklamp199]

Do you have any music by One Less Lie? I see their album V.O.V. on Discogs but I don't know if it's posted online anywhere.

[@nikolaialexander4562]

Did you ever hear any of the Barbara stuff they did together? The brothers

[@paashaasXD]

It's funny how I am a big electro/acid music lover, but once in a while I have to listen to this album on full blast haha - LOVE IT

[@tysolonynko5728]

That tour tey did with Converge. Still the best ep ever made.

[@lungsagna]

And Cursed. One of the best shows ever.

[@kranity]

@@lungsagna and Terror! That tour was a real landmark in metal and HC- proving that a lineup like that was heavily saleable (somehow).

[@jsillman]

My band opened for a show on that tour but Mare had dropped off a few days before and didn’t play :(.

[@Knat0001]

@@lungsagna I saw them on that tour as well as the one they did just with Cursed in Saskatoon. It was the best show that no one saw, I think that there were 6 people at that show and it ripped.

[@nikolaialexander4562]

​@@Knat0001 oh man I lived in Saskatoon for 6 months never saw any shows, did make a trek to Regina to see shai hulud once it was like 30 people haha

[@stabyourcat]

This EP is a journey unto itself. Not being hyperbolic in the slightest - there is not an album that sounds like this. It’s strange, beautiful, heavy, complex, atmospheric, heart-wrenching, unique, violent and yet somehow calming all at once.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

Saw these guys preform with Isis back in 2005, I think? Either way.... Blew my mind wide open that night. Even over a decade later, it's still amazing.

[@jackassjohn]

Dude, same! Got to talk to the singer after their set. Nice dude.

[@decadesofsegregation9677]

Yes I saw them on this tour I believe at CBGBS

[@milanimilani]

It will be forever. This is immortal.

[@therunningxfree]

Listening here because this seems to have been removed from spotify. This ep is a gem that continues to age like fine wine.

[@Voidgazen]

I first heard this 15 years ago and I still think about it from time to time. It's truly unique

[@MrKrisstain]

Absolutely love this album. The only band I know that has a flawless discography ;)

[@andrewiwanicki921]

It scares me that an album this good can all but disappear. For those who are curious, the band was a duo. The vocalist/guitarist became the vocalist of The End for their first album or two (another sad loss in the metal world; their album Elementary is so good). The drummer has been in Circle Takes the Square for several years now.

[@MarcioSargento]

A trio. Singer from Model was the bass player.

[@mortyerkinsuhmdhongsoff8987]

the end and circle takes the square have been two of my favorite bands for a while, don't know how I overlooked this for so long, because its so good.

[@BillyxRansom]

+Marcio Sargento can you link me to this Model band, please?

[@BillyxRansom]

actually, you have this backwards: Tyler the singer (Semrick-Palmateer is his last name) was in The End from 2000 until maybe 2002, and only participated in their debut album. then he left to start mare in 2003-ish. the drummer Caleb began drumming for CTTS during the Decomposition sessions, and he's on Vol. 1.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

+Marcio Sargento was he the one that used to roll his eyes to the back of his head? I remember him doing a lot of that when I saw them live. It lend itself nicely to the overall atmosphere of the show.... Such a damm good show... Still one of my favorite of that era. The "MySpace" era....

[@charlesgonzague3235]

Cant remember how and why I bought this ep years ago but it was the best thing I've done in my life. With my two kids. Epic emotionnal.

[@imanoid183]

Its sad to hear that this rare masterpiece is their only release.

[@billyalarie929]

this EP is absolutely essential. it's fucking flawless.

[@cfaibah]

This forgotten little ep from two decades ago has some of the best clean singjng I've ever heard. what a jewel this thing is

[@michealheffernan548]

As fresh, daring, and visionary today as it was upon its first release 17 years ago.

[@Alex-jk7xu]

One of the best releases of all time forever

[@daveonegative]

I can't get away from this EP. Unreal.

[@VlatkoGalic]

There are moments when I simply have to listen to mare. It is stronger than me :)

[@joshkorody7376]

easily one of the best EP's ever

[@letitiagetka1481]

Legendary.

[@evanmichael3153]

Changed my life (saw them live in 05 & 13 too).

[@StophenTropak]

*TOTAL BRAGGING TIME* HOLY SHIT MY BAND IS SUPPORTING THESE GUYS IN 2 DAYS TIME. Never thought I'd get to see them live.. Let alone play with them. This is EASILY the best EP I've ever heard.

[@StophenTropak]

They were incredible and holy shit they're lovely guys too. One of the highlights of my life.

[@skeletspook]

Which band are you in? Did you play in Brussels?

[@StophenTropak]

Human Future, we played the show at The Black Heart in London. Unfortunately not - that'll be Employed To Serve, who are their EU support. Great band and great people.

[@skeletspook]

Oh yeah it was. But there were two more opening bands in Brussels so I was wondering if you were among them. Mare were great tho, so amazing to finally get to see them live. I'll check out your music meanwhile!

[@StophenTropak]

It would appear the other 2 bands that played were Ilydaen and Dorre. I know! Genuinely one of the best days of my life thus far - to know they're awesome people as well as still being an intense band.. I found it hard to sleep that night, absolutely buzzing! My band has a new song available on our record label's 2017 sampler truthseekermusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-first-two-years and our next release will be out later this year. Otherwise try our debut album 'Spectrum' humanfuture.bandcamp.com/ :)

[@sacredxgeometry]

I just found this based on a recommendation from my friend Simon (ex-War From A Harlot's Mouth, Nightmarer) who raves about how amazing/underrated MARE is, and I am so far very pleased with what I am hearing. By and large one of the best EPs I've ever heard, if not the best there is.

[@billyalarie929]

WFAHM was p cool

[@chusmaestro]

Simon always had an exquisite taste in music. This EP is ridiculously good, so well written, mature and personal, one of the gems of my CD collection. It flows like a soundtrack without a defined structure and full of different moods, with those odd chord progressions that drag you into a psychedelic dream.

[@dnswvs]

Still slays much of what has come in the following 12 years after it.. One of a kind

[@DeadRegister]

13 years later, this demo is still GOLDEN.

[@MrSpunkletrumpet]

Such a hidden gem. The chord movement in anisette is art

[@DefaultUsername156]

I miss seeing these guys live.

[@harrisonwalker290]

Commenting to remind myself to come back to this EP. Seems like a long lost post-metal treasure. I'm so stoked I found this.

[@bernielomax4859]

Time to revisit

[@ThatFitchGuy]

Get to it

[@bieberistkrieg]

listen now

[@mxlxok3483]

The comments saying that it's sad that this is their only release... this little gem is pretty fuckin' unstoppable, what if they reformed and made a weak-ass jam like most reforming bands do nowadays? Let's leave this fuckin' masterpiece where it lies and just love it for what it is and what they did!

[@MichaelMarucci]

1am in the morning I just remembered this record and hadn't heard it in over a decade, thank you!

[@jankmedia1985]

I love this EP. Had it back in 2004, it's such a wild piece of music. Those growls are absurd, lol. I love it though.

[@jacoisawesome1]

Great band, great dudes. timeless record

[@chrissheridan3481]

Look at all the comments people that know know this ep was great

[@schloo]

Damn, I forgot how good this is.

[@astracax]

Saw this recommendation when i decided to listen to Cursed - II on KZbin. I had long forgotten about this EP. Probably been almost 20 years ago since I've listened to it. Think I remember reading a review of it in Kerrang magazine of all places. Then I think the only way I could source it was through Limewire. I swear I have The End - Transfer Trachea... CD somewhere. Gonna have to try and locate it. Now I recall many more great bands like this one, around the era. When Calculating Infinity was still making waves across the scene.

[@WeekendAtBergys]

Still one of my favourite albums ever.

[@hankstorey64]

I have this on vinyl, one of my most prized possessions hahaha

[@fyrdow]

Same! I stumbled upon a new copy of the reissue in a store in Santiago (Chile) and almost sold a kidney to but it 🖤

[@mentaltrade]

i have been listening to this album from the start.. Best shit ever!

[@nodrogdivad]

This is just simply one of the best albums ever made, seriously. WHY did these guys call it quits after one friggin EP? I show this ppl all the time and it is always just like. wow. I friend of mine introduced me to this and I was so moved by it, ne listen was all it took. love.

They have reformed as a duo in 2015, but whether they will write new music is unknown.

Such unlikely ingredients produces flavors that turn out to be fundamental to the needs of my pallet. Emotions expressed so accurately they beg for increased amplification.

[@asoulfounddead]

I just got to know about them like a few mounths ago, and I can´t understand how I managed to live without this masterpiece. Brilliant. Mare live @ Sneaky Dee's, Toronto, 08.16.2012 [Reunion Show]

[@gulinotm]

What a beautifully dark and heavy masterpeice and i got to see it live and buy a shirt off them, i love that damn shirt lol. i think they were with Daughters? or Converge, i dont remember its a long time ago

Maybe both. I saw them with Daughters in 05 but I saw a few comments on here of people saying they saw them with Converge.

[@gulinotm]

@@tinagutierrez5219 2005 sounds about right, we opened for them in a little office space venue in new orleans lol

[@Tool_jira_shugg]

Totally enamored with this. Discovered this through a band called "The Mire" (a band which I also love). At first, wasn't too into it. I didn't hate it.. but it has greatly grown on me.

[@devinkulish]

ah man, I was just introduced to these guys a week ago and sure enough their in my city and everything, playing a reunion, and I didn't know that would be the last time to hear them play, I totally missed out. Their music is unbelievable. Too bad. This album is hard to find too.

[@rufusdrums8831]

Best shit of all time. Hope Tyler comes back with someone that puts us all out of our misery soon.

[@frenchicelandicpomel]

[@polyrhythmatics]

We (Kayo Dot) played with them in Toronto (at a hotel!) it was an amazing show.

[@polyrhythmatics]

I couldn't tell you because I left the band almost 11 years ago! I should have made that clear in my comment.

[@skeletspook]

Cool! I didn't know KD and Mare once did a show together. What a perfect combo. This was in the days of Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue I guess?

[@polyrhythmatics]

It was after that. We were playing the material that became Blue Lambency Downward.

still own the original CD-R demo! and the music has stood the test of time, many times over!

[@mayahastheknife]

I bought the original demo CD-R (black & gray artwork) in college, circa 2004-2006 sometime. i was a huge fan of The End at the time, and when I found out the original vocalist who did Transfer Trachea Reverberations From Point: False Omniscient was in a new band called Mare, I found their material and was just blown away. So different from The End and yet completely amazing in a different way. I will never part with that CD-R!

[@mayahastheknife]

lyrics if interested: ANISETTE saved by last light when we lived all i know is last night we almost lost you for good let's hear what she has to say it's an intricate fold it's the cure for us trying to speak and it works look at the overcast people they look at their overcast sons THEY SENT YOU join hands and sing sing, sing, sing when their horns are too loud the day they'll send more to drown me out TROPICS you had it coming and i think you know why your face lights up but so do hers watered drinks are fine for my girl and i never sleep beside my girl i'll fall for her again to sit through countless minutes of countless cynics i sure hope that they've got it right PALACES i answer to fists full of armed fingers waiting for command sons of sons who answer one afraid to lead an open hand they've found a flaw they'll find a hundred more you see you're all a mistake but all in all you'll save face so please don't point your finger when this is where you're meant to be cause this is where you are get out of bed we need you now so aren't you glad you know now? no, not since we found out do you know what this means now? we are swimming on our backs too tired to explain ourselves crying arches spines arms reaching for home she won't drop us SUN FOR MILES look down tens upon tens won't forget your name for a while tens upon tens will cry themselves to sleep for a while be quiet for a second i hope to see you again i hope
