No scene-politics. No narcissistic self-obsession. Nothing but crushing, cerebral death metal designed to stimulate the senses and expand the mind.

This is the ethos of Nottingham-based quartet Beyond Grace, and the driving force behind new album "Seekers," set for self-release on the 7th of July, 2017.

Formed (or, more accurately, re-formed) in 2014 with a new line-up, a new name, and a whole new direction, the band spent the next few years honing a sound and live show experience into something as distinctive as it is devastating, touring and sharing stages with such acts as The Monolith Deathcult, Becoming the Archetype, Darkane, Mithras, and Demonic Resurrection, to name but a few.

In late 2015, the band began the process of recording what would eventually become "Seekers," working through a variety of setbacks, screw-ups, and acts of (self) sabotage along the way, while also dealing with issues ranging from catastrophic equipment failure to one unexpected (and unsettling) bout of internal bleeding.

Vocalist Andy Walmsley comments, "It's taken us an unbelievable amount of time to pull this album together. There's been lots of setbacks and mistakes along the way. Quite a few of them entirely of our own making. But it's brought us all closer together, made us better musicians, and made us a better band collectively. And that's what's most important to us - to be better. Not necessarily in competition with other bands, but for ourselves and on our own terms. To write better, to play better, to keep getting smarter and more creative so we can always be proud of what we do. There's no room for compromise or half-measures."
