Progressive Metal
Houston, Texas, USA

“Tellus was a power trio from Houston led by bassist and vocalist Mary Howell, guitarist Chris Howell, and drummer Paul Packerson. The first time I heard the band was in a compilation of HM Magazine, not sure if they are Christians, but are rather influenced by King's X and Rush this album was produced by Alan Doss (Galactic Cowboys) no metal no hard rock maybe progressive groove melodic rock.” - Edson Francisco de Oliveira (from http://www.amazon.com/Stand-By-Tellus/dp/B000MMKDFS)
