Review
I
missed The Great Beyond self-titled new album when it was released
back in Jan 2019. As I went on my self imposed hiatus with the blog
earlier this year. Now it’s time to for a review of this cool
sounding album. As it surprised me in many ways.
The
Great Beyond is influenced by 70s Hard Rock and Heavy Metal with
flourishes of Psych Rock, Classic Rock, Stoner Rock and Doom Rock
thrown in for good measure. If you dig KADAVAR then you should check
these guys as they play a similar style of music with the RETRO style
grooves allowing the band to play top-notch classic sounding riffs
from start to finish.
The
vocals from Leon feel inspired by the legendary lead singers of
60s/70s Hard Rock. He’s majorly confident and a little bit cocky on
the majority of the songs held on the album. It’s a good thing as
The Great Beyond sound like genuine rock stars on this album and they
have the riffs and songs to back up their immense talent.
I
admire the “Thin Lizzy” style guitars that appear on songs such
as The Great Beyond, Slip Away, I’ll Do It Again and Out Of Time.
You can hear shades of Black Sabbath in their music as well as the
band almost go for a classic Heavy Metal sound that allows
the band to create some highly original music of their own.
The Great Beyond do stick to a similar formula and style of music for the rest of the album. However, that doesn’t stop The Great Beyond having fun with their music and playing an addictive style of music if you’re a fan of Classic Rock, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal.
My
advice – Get stuck in with this excellent sounding album and you
will have an absolute blast with these guys.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.

We
a premiering the new video Out Of Time from the album. Thanks to
Chris at This Charming Man Records for the details.
The band have this to say about the new video:
"Out of Time” is an ode to Mother Nature and an emergency call to all earthlings. Since mistakes have always been realized afterwards, a change is more urgent than ever. Love, respect and awareness for this beautiful planet and it’s inhabitants is the message of this song!
