Background notes
Archive material and source history
Neuma formed in Los Angeles in the early 2000s as a quartet playing alternative metal and hard rock. The band included Nicklas Neal on vocals, Mark Johnson on guitar, Dave Mattox on bass, and Chris Kaser on drums. Their name came from the Greek word for 'spiritual breath.' They built a following playing underground shows while developing a sound that mixed heavy guitars with ethereal vocals.
In 2003, Neuma released their debut album 'Betrayal,' which featured the title track that connected with listeners who recognized its themes of deceit and broken trust. The album established their approach to writing about difficult emotions, with songs like 'Sacrifice' and 'Self-denial' continuing in that vein. They followed with albums including 'II' in 2005 and 'Year of the Sun' in 2008.
Some critics found their music too dark or questioned the sincerity of their lyrics, but the band kept working. Their catalog includes tracks like 'It's Time To Leave' and 'The Rule' that maintained their focus on personal struggle and emotional weight.
