Tera Melos was self-released by the band in January 2007. A limited pressing of 500 records were only available to buy at dates on their US tour withThe Fall of Troy in early 2007 or initially, through the Springman Records online store, although the band encouraged fans through theirMySpace page to 'rip' the songs off the EP and distribute them freely online. The EP was later repressed onto CD in limited quantities by Sargent House, the band's management.Track listing

At least 3 of the 6 songs are named after quotes from the TV show
The Simpsons . In episode 121 when Marge suggests that Springfield convert to the metric system to attract more tourists, Grandpa proclaims, "The metric system is the tool of the Devil! I get 40 rods to the hogs head and that's the way I likes it!" The names of tracks 4 and 6 are from a quote in episode 174 when Lisa says she is feeling nauseous and Mr. Burns replies with "A spoonful of slurry is good for what ails you."
