From No Clean Singing review,"..I intended only to sample a song or two to see what it was about, but was pulled in all the way, surfacing only after the sixth and final track had left me mangled, with severe neck sprain and oozing bodily fluids.Beyond the Dark play melodic death metal without forgetting that the genre is still supposed to be death metal. There’s a feral and ferocious quality to the harsh vocals that don’t let you forget that, and neither do the scything riffs and bone-rattling drumbeats. But along with those core components of rampaging savagery, the songs do include melodies that stick in your head, astute changes of pace, and some huge, pile-driving grooves. The EP is also produced in a way that makes the music thunderingly heavy — scalpel-sharp to be sure, but with a low-end power capable of loosening your bowels.For the most part, the music is full-throttle and bursting with energy, but the final track gives you a taste of something slower and gloomier, though still barbarous and memorable. Here and there, including on that final track, some somber clean vocals make an appearance, and you know what I think about that. But I’ve decided that in this case they work."
