Tera Melos is an American band that hails from Sacramento, California, known for their complex and genre-defying music which they gracefully fuse to create an experimental sound encompassing math rock, post-hardcore, jazz, and electronica elements. Formed in 2004, the band's lineup has included guitarist/vocalist Nick Reinhart, drummer John Clardy, and bassist Nathan Latona. Their sound is characterized by intricate guitar work, irregular time signatures, and often effects-laden riffs that defy the conventional structures of rock music.

Over the years, Tera Melos has earned critical acclaim for their innovative approach to music and energetic live shows. They have progressively honed their distinct sound through a number of releases, with albums like "Patagonian Rats" and "X'ed Out" highlighting their capacity to blend melody with dissonance, and chaos with order. "Trash Generator," their latest full-length album released in 2017, carries on this tradition, showcasing the band's continued evolution and creative restlessness. Besides studio work, they have also made a mark with their live recordings, such as "Tera Melos on Audiotree Live", which captures the raw energy and technical prowess that have become synonymous with their live performances. Their experimental journey has positioned them as a unique force in the world of avant-garde rock, pushing the boundaries of what instrumental and alternative music can be.
