From the beginning, it was clear that BEYOND CREATION possessed a special aura. Back in 2011, the Montréal band quickly proved they were the next progressive evolution in technical death metal on their debut album. Fifteen years later, the genre still basks in the enduring glow of ‘The Aura’.
Amidst what was already a crowded scene. ‘The Aura’ immediately stood out as a shining achievement for technical death metal. With microscopic precision, the band spliced together classic brutality and prog’s unbending curiosity with an unforeseen tact for melody. “Coexistence” opened eyes far and wide to a new realm of possibilities, where headbanging riffs don't collide but resolve amidst an extended instrumental passage that glistens like the cosmos. After more than 6 million views on YouTube, “Omnipresent Perception” is still blowing people’s minds. Its fretless bass solo, while impossible to follow, leads along the path to enlightenment.
“Are we the chosen ones?”, lead vocalist and guitarist Simon Gerard wonders during “The Deported”, the album's epic 11-minute closer. He’s questioning humanity's own presumed superiority, but when it comes to BEYOND CREATION and the universe of progressive technical death metal, the answer is still a resounding “yes”.
Celebrate 15 years of ‘The Aura’ with a special anniversary reissue. This limited-edition colored vinyl variant is cut at 45 RPM. It includes a double-sided full color poster and an embroidered patch.
