?Beyond the Pale? (idiom): means to be outside the agreed standards of
decency. Beyond the Pale formed in January 2008. 6 musicians from a variety of
different musical backgrounds joined together through the common goal
and purpose of producing energy driven heavy music . The band draws a
common influence from a wide variety of bands including Parkway Drive,
Chelsea Grin, Children of Bodom, All shall Perish, Devil wears prada and
many more. From a song writing influence, the inspiration resides
largely in the deathcore subgenre incorporating characteristic
breakdowns and vocal styles. Beyond the Pale attempt to bridge the gap
between deathcore and hardcore subgenres appealing to both fan groups.
As the alternative scene in Durban is heavily weighted to hardcore
music, Beyond the Pale has benefited from the hardcore market. Due to
the intense brutality of the band, they have also enjoyed the metal
following they have acquired. The South African scene is currently
lapping up deathcore bands and Beyond the Pale have found themselves
in the middle of it, creating and performing their own unique brand of
deathcore at a professional level. As much as Beyond the Pale enjoys
the virtuosic side of metal, their attitude towards it and the naming
of song titles are often a parody of the seriousness of the metal
genre. This gives the band a humorous edge, while at the same time,
being very serious about the musicianship, song writing and
performance. Beyond the Pale shows are audience driven as they prefer
to have a party with their audience rather than simply to perform for
them. Through the assistance of Witchdoctor records, Beyond the Pale
have been able to produce a 4 track EP which has been pivotal in
internet based electronic marketing. Our fans are able to freely
download our tracks of the myspace site

into studio this August 2009 to start recording a full length album
which should be available December 2009.
