Beyond Grace
Following the release of their 2nd album, Our Kingdom Undone, and their subsequent split from Prosthetic Records, underground Death Metal-core quartet Beyond Grace made the decision to return to their DIY roots with the release of a self-funded, self-recorded EP trilogy, Welcome to the New Dark Ages.
Marrying the massive riffage and merciless hooks of bands like Dyscarnate and Misery Index with a sense of focussed songwriting and ferocious intensity inspired by the likes of Earth Crisis and All Out War – plus an occasional splash of proggy melody and precision-guided technicality reminiscent of Becoming the Archetype at their best – songs like “The Burning Season” and “The Killing Floor” quickly became staples of the group’s live set, and saw their music described as “a lesson in modern heaviness” (Distorted Sound) and “one of the finest releases in the genre” (Noizze).
Having toured up and down the UK with the likes of Hour of Penance, Blood Red Throne, The Monolith Deathcult, and more, opened for Cryptopsy, Mithras, Darkane, etc, and shared stages with some of the best bands in the UK (Celestial Sanctuary, Rannoch, Cryptic Shift, etc) the group have channelled everything they’ve learned into an even tighter and more savage series of songs on Welcome to the New Dark Ages, Part 3, which is set for release on the 30th of July 2026 on Bandcamp, Ampwall, Spotify, and more.
Comprising three blistering new tracks dealing with topics like the inherent corruption of the rich and powerful ("Reign of Error"), the endless cycle of war and violence ("First As Tragedy"), and the terrible history of workplace abuse and institutional misogyny ("Radium Angels") - the latter of which features a powerhouse performance from Transgressive's Bethany "Beef" Pitts – and adorned with yet another piece of stunning artwork (courtesy of the band’s long-time friend and collaborator Bite Radius Designs) that completes the triptych, the third and final part of the EP trilogy is as vicious and as visceral, musically, vocally, and lyrically, as anything they’ve ever done.
