Группа "Khymera" – один из многочисленных мелодик-роковых проектов, рожденных под флагом империи "Frontiers Records". Основал ее итальянец-мультиинструменталист Даниэле Ливерани, известный участием в прог-металлической формации "Empty Tremor", а также выпуском нескольких сольников, среди которых наиболее заметным явлением стала рок-опера "Genius". Своим основным партнером музыкант сделал вокалиста Kansas Стива Уолша, на ударные был ангажирован Дарио Сицциони, а поскольку деятельность "Khymera" предполагалось ограничить рамками студии, то гитары, бас и клавиши Даниэле взял на себя. Кроме того, стоит отметить, что на бэк-вокале согласились поработать Джо Вана, Том Гриффин и Билли Грир, а микшированием занимался Марк Слэмер. Однако критики отметили недостаточную чистоту звука и некоторую пресноватость и расфокусированность материала.2003 - Khymera [Frontiers, FR CD 143, Replica]

Сделав соответствующие выводы, Ливерани в следующий раз по иному подошел к подготовке альбома. Во-первых, он уже не удовлетворился набором сессионных (пусть даже именитых) музыкантов, а создал полноценную команду, в состав которой помимо Сицциони попали 16-летний гитарный гений Томми Эрмолли и басист из "Pink Cream 69" Деннис Уорд. Любопытно, что на "A New Promise" последний из них дебютировал в качестве лидер-вокалиста (в то время как бас и клавиши Даниэле оставил за собой). И хотя Уорду раньше доверяли только бэковые партии, его хрипловатый голос оказался весьма удачным аксессуаром нового саунда "Khymera". Второй момент касался репертуара, который по-прежнему остался заимствованным – основной костяк песен принадлежал тандему братьев Мартинов, Тома и Джеймса (экс-"Sugartown"). В результате звучание группы стало более интересным и унифицированным, и слушатели получили под маркой "A New Promise" отменный образец европейского мелодик-рока. 2005 - A New Promise [Frontiers, FR CD 248, Italy]

Осознав, что его коллектив движется в правильном направлении, Ливерани не стал вводить дополнительных новшеств и на третьем альбоме сохранил как состав, так и главенствующий авторский дуэт Мартинов. Изданный в 2008 году "The Greatest Wonder" оказался удачно сбалансированной подборкой среднетемповых мелодичных рокешников и цепляющих AOR-баллад, и критики еще больше рассыпались в восторгах, а тем временем "Khymera" впервые опробовали свой звук на живых концертах.2008 - The Greatest Wonder [Frontiers, FR CD 364, Italy]
