Hailing from Hosens, Denmark, BEYOND TWILIGHT was the mind child of Finn ZIERLER (keyboards), who wished to resurrect its previous incarnation, TWILIGHT as a Progressive metal band. TWILIGHT, a melodic/power metal quintet had originally been conceived in 1990 gaining some attention when its debut release "Eye for an Eye" sold 25.000 copies. After it's follow up "The Edge", they disbanded, however in 1999, ZIERLER, having pursued his own musical side projects, returned to the theme, founding BEYOND TWILIGHT. Although for continuity and marketing purposes, the new band carried an almost identical logo and the symbol found on ZIERLER's earlier releases, musically the style changed to a form of dark, sensationalist, theatrical progressive metal with symphonic elements and harmonic vocals, for which the term 'Cinematic metal' was coined by some critics.

Pinpointing exact stylistic comparisons with other progressive metal bands isn't straight forward, and the band has said of themselves: "Some call our music Cinematic Metal, some call it Progressive Metal; you can't really compare BEYOND TWILIGHT to any other band. You can't put the music in a box no matter how much you would like to, so just forget about it. BEYOND TWILIGHT have always had their own style and sound; we'll always stay true to our music". Ultimately however, they should be seen as an important band within the context of the Scandinavian Progressive Metal resurgence from the turn of the millennium, and should therefore be wholeheartedly recommended to fans of CONCEPTION, PAIN OF SALVATION, ARK, MASTERPLAN, ANUBIS GATE and PAGAN'S MIND among many others.
