Wild Beyond's Black Metal Debut Is Metal First (Early Song Debut)
“Black metal’s mysteriousness, and the allure of darkness and evil made it an easy choice to pair with our love of thrash,” Philadelphia trio Wild Beyond says. “We wanted to create a classic black metal record, but we also tend to play like speed demons.”
It is important to remember that black metal is metal first and not some vehicle for atmosphere or feelings, and Wild Beyond’s thrashing, riff-forward attack on their eponymous debut exemplifies it as a metal album before anything else. It’s pissed, it moves recklessly, and, most importantly, it riffs. Featuring current and former members of Daeva, Infernal Stronghold, and other Philadelphia institutions, it’s no wonder Wild Beyond’s first album is simply so powerful. Listen to Wild Beyond‘s opening track “In the Footsteps of Mars” below and be sure to preorder the LP from Gates of Hell Records.
