Beyond Belief where a band from the Netherlands that played a mixture of doom and death metal and this is a review of a 2017 compilation that was released by Terror From Hell Records and consists of their demos from 1991 and 1992.
Atmospheric sounding synths start off the compilation and after the intro the music goes into more of a heavy and melodic doom metal direction and the solos and leads also use a great amount of dark and depressive sounding melodies and after awhile deep death metal growls start to make their presence known.
All of the musical instruments on the compilation have a very powerful sound to them and there is also a brief use of folk instruments along with a small amount of whispers and some of the grim screams also adds in a touch of black metal and synths also make a return on some of the later tracks and one song also introduces clean guitars onto the compilation and the second demo also brings in the same style as the first recording and ritualistic spoken word parts can also be heard briefly while on later songs the riffing starts adding in a more mid tempo style.
Beyond Belief played a mixture of doom and death metal that was very much ahead of its time in the early 90's, the production sounds very dark and heavy for being demo recordings while the lyrics cover darkness, depression, and melancholy themes.
In my opinion Beyond Belief where a very great sounding mixture of doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "God Forsaken" "Silent Are The Holy" "Shapes Of Sorrow" and "Timeless Dark". 8 out of 10.
