THE BEAST

Beyond Creation Return with New Single “Reverence”

Canadian technical death metal titans Beyond Creation rise from the ashes with their first new song in eight years.

Celebrating the 15th anniversary of their landmark debut The Aura on a Latin American tour, the Montréal four-piece—Independent Music and Lit Music Award winners and Canadian Grammy nominees—deliver a stunning reminder of why they’ve become a cornerstone of modern progressive death metal.

Metal Hammer hails the band’s comeback as “…a triumph for technical prowess, songwriting suss and passion,” and fans will find that description more than apt in “Reverence”.

A Phoenix Rising

From the outset, Beyond Creation carved their own path by blending brutal technicality with progressive curiosity and memorable melodies. Their new single continues that legacy.

Simon Girard, vocalist, guitarist, and lyricist, explains: “Our new single explores the fragile line between clarity and illusion, between introspection and insanity, where the search for meaning can either elevate us or consume us. But the truth is simple and powerful: the moment you stop comparing and start focusing on who you truly are and what you genuinely want to express, something beautiful happens. You create from a place of honesty. You grow with purpose.”

The Sound of True Metal

“Reverence” opens with uninhibited creativity, as Girard and guitarist Kevin Chartré trade riffs and ideas honed over 15 years together. But the track doesn’t shy from the crushing weight of expectation. Girard screams over chugging riffs: “Thrown into a sea of endless thoughts / A quiet war within my core.” The song’s tension mirrors the internal struggle that many musicians face in a world dominated by social media comparisons.

Girard elaborates: “The more we compare, the further we drift from our true selves and our authentic voice. We feel our ideas lack value, our techniques insufficient, and our identity flawed. But once we stop with the comparisons, we free ourselves to grow.”

Drummer Philippe Boucher guides the band through complex, maze-like rhythms, while bassist Hugo Doyon-Karout lifts the coda with mind-bending runs, elevating the track to a higher plane of technical brilliance.
