We are pleased to announce that we have signed Nation Beyond for the North American release of their album "The Aftermath Odyssey", due out on March 11th.
“The Aftermath Odyssey” is a masterclass in Progressive Power Metal – Metal Team UK ‘zine
In the past few years Sensory has presented the metal community with a number of amazing debut releases. Bands such as Circus Maximus and Pathosray are generating maximum buzz and sales continue to climb. Nation Beyond is our latest discovery and we are proud to introduce them to North America.
Nation Beyond began life as a side project from Debase guitarist Jonas Karlgren and Face Down bassist Joakim Hedestedt. These two industrial/death metal bands have a multitude of releases between them on labels such as Nuclear Blast, Black Lodge and Sanctuary/Noise. It was the desire to create an epic concept album with a different musical direction that united these two talented musicians together. Using Debase and Face Down bandmates as well as some fresh new faces they set to work. Vocalist Nielz Lindstrom is quite a discovery. His emotion filled delivery brings to mind Evergrey’s Tom Englund as well as Dead Soul Tribe’s Devon Graves. They have found the perfect counterpoint in the angelic voice of Sara Heurlin.
The Aftermath Odyssey is a dramatic tale of love, hate and betrayal set in the wake of a nuclear apocalypse. Symphonic arrangements and the use of a real choir adds a dynamic contrast to the snarling riffs and hook filled melodies. Karlgren and Hedestedt have come up with the perfect balance of power and progressive elements evoking the spirit of classic metal albums like Savatage’s Dead Winter Dead and Queenryche’s Operation: Mindcrime. This is intense, angst ridden music dripping with atmosphere that will draw you in as the story unfolds.
A masterpiece such as this demands a graphic presentation that matches the music and the band delivers. Nation Beyond arrives in a gorgeous digipak with a beautifully illustrated 28 page full color booklet.
