Album Description The concept for "Terra Incognita" is based on a fictional story by Age Of Nemesis guitarist, Zoltan Fabian. The story is as if we would read it from a dead girl's diary. The girl has no name; she could be anyone, or no one at all... "I imagined what would happen if someone would have a chance to see things in the afterlife. The girl was visited by an angel, who took her to the `Land Of Lights'; where human souls go after their earthly lives. She had a pact with the angel: she must keep in secret all the things that she felt and saw there. When she was back in her bed again, she couldn't keep the secret and she whispered all the things to her sleeping boyfriend, she thought, she didn't break her oath in this way, because he didn't wake up. In the morning when they awoke, he told her about his 'strange dream' in which she had told him about the angel, and the hope of an afterlife. He was sure that his mission was to spread the word to all people about `The Land of Lights'. But people interpret faith in their own ways, sometimes for the worse, and all hell began breaking loose. I think everyone will find something in this story that is about the human selfishness, blind faith, the pain of helplessness, the pang of conscience...the pain if you lose someone."

CD ReviewsUndiscovered Gem! Lane R. Miller | Fuquay-Varina, NC | 05/06/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you check out my other reviews, then you will find that I always give 5 stars. It isn't that I overrate everything. Rather, I can only get inspired to write about music that I really love (and I buy a lot of CDs that don't get reviewed). Terra Incogdita by Age of Nemesis is very much worth writing about. A concept album with strong vocals and excellent instrumental playing, Terra Incogdita has everything that a true fan of progressive metal is looking for. Apparently first recorded in Magyar, the lyrics were translated to English causing this version to be released after Psychogeist. Psychogeist is great, but Terra Incogdita is even better. Age of Nemesis are from Hungary. Their guitarist, Zoltan Fabian, appears to be the brainchild behind their material, which is usually quite heavy but possesses softer moments. Fabian also is a great player with a somewhat retro distorted sound, reminiscent of Tony Iommi. This may sound a bit little strange, but his sound combines quite well with the more modern sounding keyboards, creating nice differentiation between both instruments. Vocalist, Zoltan Kiss, is very competent, handling the English lyrics very well. Being a concept album, there is a definite flow from song to song, creating a continuum of music. One high point for me is The Land of Light, which contains some nice keys and acoustic guitar which is intermittently shattered with Fabian's crunch. The other peak moment is Plummeting into Eternity, possessing a lengthy and intoxicating jam intro, super hooks and chorus, and screaming guitar and keyboard solos as an outro. Plummeting into Eternity rises to the description of magnum opus. I love what the internet has done for music. Without it, bands like Age of Nemesis and albums like Terra Incogdita would never find their way into my CD player. Terra Incogdita - try it, you'll like it!" You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince! NEOPROG RAN | EL PASO TX | 01/02/2008 (3 out of 5 stars) "Lots of potential here but I think I've heard it all before. The singer is much too much like Dream Theater. As a matter of fact, their whole approach is very similiar to DT. They are good musicians but I'm just tired of this sound. I can't believe Peloser went the route of Magna Carta after kicking me like a rag doll for so many years about my purchases. I guess he's just searching in a sea of bad music. DSTribe is pretty good but you sure have become lost in the underground on some of your so called "discoveries". Keep kissin' the frogs!"
