A few questions - interview with death metal band from France - BEYOND THE VOID.

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

Hello ! We are Beyond The Void, from France. Since 2018, we play death metal which navigates between brutality and finess with oldschool, progressive and modern touches. Our first album “The Machinist” was released in November 2022.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

This first album was mainly self recording in the home studio from Antoine Grasser, guitarist and principal composer from this project. Drums were recorded at the Black-Up Rec Studio.

Jamz from Razorback Studio has produced the album.


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

It’s our label, Great Dane Records, who has released 500 digipaks from this new album.

You can also find it in digital on Bandcamp, YouTube, Spotify and more other platforms.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

It’s Cyril COZZA, our singer, who wrote the lyrics. They deal with the destruction of the planet by men, who are both actors and spectators of their own extinction. Wars, madness, overexploitation are themes dealt within the album.


Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

It’s Sebastien MOCKERS, our first singer who created the band logo.

Laurent GREDER, painter and drummer from the death metal band Post-Mortem, has made all the paintings from the album The Machinist.

We don’t have any website and we mainly use Facebook and Instagram for our communication. the most important thing is the work around the music, but today it is not enough, it is also necessary to know how to communicate to make the band spread its music.

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

The Machinist was released by Great Dane Records, a french label. We contacted him, he appreciated our project and proposed that we work together. It’s a good opportunity to work with a label for the fist album, it brings seriousness, and allows a communication with networks different from ours.


Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

We don’t idolise bands, but we appreciate a lot of bands, and each musician have differents influences. However, we all meet around bands such as Death, Cannibal Corpse, Obscura, Atheist. The inspiration comes from the multitude of influences that we each have and put together in our music.

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

We went directly to Great Dane Records who agreed to release this album. He signed us while we were working on preprods.


How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

The band was found in 2018 and we played 8 gigs before the release of the new album.

The Machinist was released in November 2022 with a release party in the concert hall from Colmar in France with Mercyless and Post-Mortem.

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

We work on the second album and we want to play a lot of gigs in France and beyond.
Metal is something that shall mainly live with gigs !
