This first release makes Kilmara nationally recognized and its name begins to sound also internationally thanks to the underground distributions in small labels like the French Brennus music or the Japanese Red Rivet Records.In 2009, they flew to Slovakia for the recording of their second studio work entitled "Don't fear the wolf" at Grapow Studios. The production was carried out by the great musician Roland Grapow, current guitarist of MASTERPLAN and ex - Helloween.For "Don't fear the wolf" Kilmara had some collaborations, among them the string orchestra of the Sant Boi of Llobregat Conservatory and Roland Grapow's own with an incredible guitar solo in "show me the way" and choirs in several of the songs on the album.In Spain, the album was released on May 31, 2010 through Maldito Records and Maldito Digital entering the number 20 on the top selling lists for several months.

Album:
KILMARA returns with fresh energy after consolidating themselves in the Melodic Power Metal scene with their previous work Across the Realm of Time, which represented a 180º shift in their musical style.After the additions of Eric Killer, a real steamroller on the Drums, and the guitarist, producer and composer Carles Salse, the band is renewed in every way and presents their new work Journey to the Sun, an adventure of epic proportions that transcends the limits explored up to this point by the band from Barcelona.With this new chapter in their career, KILMARA tells us about the power and strength that all human beings are capable of gathering when we are united by the same purpose. They also tell us about the struggle to discover the path to truth and freedom. All of this in a journey to the impossible, crossing borders beyond this very dimension to finally reach contact with the Sun.Conceptually set in the Arcade halls of the late 80's, where first loves, unbreakable friendships, rivalries, defeats and victory celebrations took place. Places to dream of fighting battles and commanding space feats, Journey to the Sun takes us on an immersive sonic experience evoking a golden era in which Power Metal, virtuosity, guitar duels and melodies were great, all wrapped in an atmosphere created with retrowave synth bases that will transport you to another place.But don't think that we are facing a recreation of the past, no! KILMARA sounds more current, more powerful and heavier than ever, thanks to an excellent and careful production focusing greatly in even the most minumum details. With the aim set on finding the best and most current sound possible, KILMARA put the recording of the album in the hands of Carles Salse in his own studio, Sureau Studio, and in the search for a great final sound result that enriches further their oups, they team up with world-renowned and award-winning producer Seeb Levermann (Orden Ogan, Angus MCSIX, Rhapsody Of Fire, Riot V…).KILMARA, pick up the baton as heirs of the heroes of Power Metal and bring back the singer of the legendary and sorely missed swedish band Lost Horizon, Daniel Heiman, one of the best voices that the genre has given and who will undoubtedly overwhelm you with his performance as a special guest in “Take me Back.” Journey to the Sun will be your ticket to embark on the spacewing that will take you to KILMARA's best album to date, let yourself be immersed in each and every one of their new songs.
