Beyond Fallen Street Team Deutschland
imikimi - Customize Your WorldBased in Northeastern Pennsylvania Beyond Fallen performs original heavy music with the primary goals being creativity and strong musicianship. Unmistakably metal in approach, the band draws from a variety of influences, covering a wide spectrum of musical genres without losing focus on staying true to their heavy metal roots. They explore many of metal’s sub-genres in their music, creating a style that makes a powerful statement in today’s heavy music scene. They strive to write and record quality songs, as well as bring the most dynamic, explosive, and energetic performances possible to the audience.
At the forefront of the band’s live performances are the fierce riffs from the twin guitar attack, which create the wall of sound that the group is known for. Add a thunderous rhythm section and powerful vocals and you have a band that grabs the audience’s attention right from the start. They often bring a progressive, and at times experimental, element to the music in just the right dose, without losing the listener.
Beyond Fallen confirms the fact that heavy music does not always have to be mindless compositions of unintelligible screaming and pointless noise to be considered heavy. Uncompromising in style, the band refuses to dumb-down what they do to please those casual music fans in the herd who wander from trend to trend. While the heavy music environment becomes over-saturated with countless bands trying to clone each other, Beyond Fallen refuses to jump on the latest bandwagon, but rather constantly develop their own interpretations through a series of transformations of the metal sound.
The history of Beyond Fallen begins in 2003, though guitarist Steve Jasuilewicz started a nameless metal project in the fall of 2001 that would eventually evolve into the band as it is today. After searching for the right members the band finally came together in the summer of 2003, with Beyond Fallen making it’s live debut in the fall, and finishing out the year with the first recording in December. The band's members in addition to guitarist Steve Jasuilewicz include Mike Johnson (guitar), Chuck Donahue (bass), and Joe Karavis (vocals). The great chemistry of a band such as this is quite rare. All five members have input in helping shape the Beyond Fallen sound, and are all on the same page as far as dedication to the cause, as well as having a common goal of creating the most incredible metal possible.
With a steady live schedule in 2004, one of the year's hilites was when the band won the top prize at Keystone College’s Battle of the Bands in the spring - a strong statement to make their mark as a legitimate force on the regional music scene.
Their song “A Line in The Sand†from the debut 4 song CD has been featured in the Top 10 unsigned artists MP3s on FuseTv’s Uranium website. The band also has worldwide distribution of this CD through Hellion Records in Germany, with more distribution in the works.
Beyond Fallen recently played some high-profile live shows with heavy metal veterans Metal Church, OverKill, W.A.S.P, and Joey Belladonna of Anthrax. They continue to get outstanding response everywhere they play, and will continue to secure opening slots with national acts.
The first half of 2005 focused primarily on writing new material, and in July 2005 the band entered S.I. Studios in Scranton, Pennsylvania again, this time to record its first full-legnth album, titled “Lost In The Shadows.†The reaction to this CD has been very positive, receiving airplay and praise from the press in several countries.
This all eventually led to the band being signed to Melissa Records, a label based in The Netherlands. The new album, recorded in 2007 titled "Mindfire" has just been released, and metal fans and press around the world are giving it high praise.
The band plans to have a busy live schedule over the next several months in support of the new album, and is excited to be able to bring this music to the stage so audiences can witness up-close all the band has to offer. The band made their first trip to Europe in July 2007, performing at The Headbangers Open Air Festival, and other dates as well in Germany.
