It was the summer of 2007 that brought about the birth of Beyond the Gates, a metalcore band out of the small town of Holland, Michigan. It was their goal to not sound like every other hardcore or metal band, and to become a band with a diverse, heavy, and original sound. "This is a band that plays with power and emotion. Instrumentally tight in a way that leads the listener to believe they are more advanced in years than just being in their late teens. Beyond the Gates is for real and worth the listen," says Danny Reyes, a private instructor and studio drummer. This melody and aggressive music style was also noticed by David Purnell, owner of Lakeshore Guitar Instruction: "Beyond the Gates, is a band that packs a solid punch. This West Michigan group features musically complex rhythms, intriguing stylistic switches, and heavy riffs galore. Guaranteed to please fans of metalcore music. Keep an eye on these guys!" After some slight lineup changes, Beyond the Gates now stands proudly among the West Michigan music scene as a five piece band, ready to blast your face off with sick riffs and intense breakdowns.
