Beyond Terror Beyond Grace is an Australian grindcore band from Blue Mountains that was formed in 2004.
history
The band was formed in August 2004. After Ben “Terror” Schueler left the band for a short time in early 2005, they did their first demo under the name Still Human, Still Humane? on. The first performance was also held in June of the same year. The demo was then remastered and released as an EP on Grindhead Records . In early 2006 the band played with Behemoth and also performed at the Metalstock Festival . Towards the end of the year, Beyond Terror played Beyond Grace with Skinless . The debut album Extinction | Salvation was recorded in early 2007 and released later that year, also on Grindhead Records. In the same year there were appearances together with The Black Dahlia Murder and Cephalic Carnage . In 2008 the band played again at the Metalstock Festival, whereupon Kataklysm also performed. At the end of August 2008 the band played three gigs in New Zealand , before concerts with Carcass , Pig Destroyer and Grave followed. In 2011 Deepsend Records released the album Our Ashes Built Nations , before moving to Willowtip Records in 2012 when the album Nadir was released. Nadir was recorded at Three Phase Studios in Melbourne in May 2011 within two weeks . In the same year the group made over 55 appearances in 15 countries.
style
According to Brian Fischer-Griffin in his Encyclopedia of Australian Heavy Metal , the band initially played covers from the grindcore and hardcore punk area before developing their own songs that would be reminiscent of Napalm Death and Discharge . According to Ollie Fröhlich from Ox-Fanzine , the band plays on Our Ashes Built Mountains Grindcore, which doesn't rely entirely on blastbeats , but also intersperses groove passages. In addition, they deal with “tricky intrumental passages and ambient excursions”. The song Murakami offers voice samples instead of singing . The song is eight minutes long and, in contrast to the other short songs typical of Grindcore, offers time to take a deep breath. The singing is "at times crude screeching, surprisingly often understandable and the content is well thought-out". In a later issue, Fröhlich also reviewed Nadir and stated that the band is now playing music similar to Black Metal . The songs are now overly long and flowing. Occasionally calm, acoustic passages are processed in the songs. The vocals are growled and scouted , "while the excellent and completely non-metallic drumming rages in the background and sets bone-dry accents". The songs would evoke feelings of anger, despair, and hopelessness.
