Beyond Twilight

Beyond Twilight play very experimental progressive rock and metal. They have a unique sort of energy to their songs, marrying the sing-along/airdrum-along appeal of simpler metal with the subtle complexity of progressive metal. Their first album, The Devil's Hall of Fame, featured exceptional hard rock/metal singer Jorn Lande. His absence on Section X is felt at first, but not for long. Section X is a logical continuation of The Devil's Hall of Fame; if anything, it may be too conservative a development. With their latest release, For The Love of Art and the Making, they have continued their pattern of pushing the musical envelope in both heaviness and complexity. This opus, which is 43 tracks long, is meant to be played either straight through, or on shuffle, yeilding a different arrangement with each listen. Beyond Twilight have found a way to mix elements of classical composition with utterly crushing metal rhythms.
