Formed in September 2005 in Glasgow, Scotland, Beyond The Forest combine female-fronted Symphonic Power Metal with a multitude of influences to create a passionate, blazing storm of anthemic melody. Confounding the lightweight perception of the genre, BTF avoid being tied to unwieldy cliches and keep it rocking hard and heavy while still maintaining ruthlessly high standards of performance and songwriting. Lyrically, their songs deal with righteous battle and the fight for justice against the tyranny of institutionalised religion, imperialism and ignorance. Musically, their main influences include early Nightwish, Sinergy, Sonata Arctica and Dark Tranquillity.
Beyond The Forest completed their EP (mixed and mastered by former Aereogramme guitarist and composer/producer, Iain Cook) in February 2008 but personal circumstances meant they were unable to continue. As of June 2008, the band have split up.
