“Crisp, tight and intelligent”, three words rarely used to describe a metal band in this day and age. Formed in January 2000, Beyond The Flesh set forth to create a brand of metal that was equally melodic as it was aggressive. Fusing all different styles of metal, drawing mainly from death and thrash, they have developed a familiar sound with their own twist, in turn appealing to multiple crowds.
In 2001 Beyond The Flesh set out to record their 1st demo, the result was “Spawned From Flesh and Bone”. It immediately ignited a local buzz, which drew crowds to see what the live shows were all about. After securing a strong local following ‘The Flesh’ proceeded to play a string of out of state shows, always gaining the audiences acceptance. By 2002, “Spawned…” has sold impressively, and demand for new material was overwhelming. Entering the studio once again, they were driven to release a full-length album that was even more eclectic that the first.
In 2003, What the Mind Perceives was relased. A no-holds-barred assualt of original melodic death/thrash. The press, both magazines and websites, gave it rave reviews, never once giving it a negative tone. BW&BK made WTMP one of the Top 10 Indie albums that year, a great achievement. More positive press, meant more signifacnt shows, which in turn, has made an even larger following for the band.
Now here in 2004, Beyond The Flesh is ready and determined to dominate the metal scene.
