Beyond Fallen, the latest NEPA area band to be signed to a major record label, has a lot going on right now and has struggled a great deal to get to where they are. There aren't many true metal bands in Pennsylvania (ask any struggling metal band), yet the band has received an ever-growing amount of recognition, locally and internationally. "Our approach at songwriting and our style clearly sets us apart locally because nobody else plays true metal - so it's like running in an election unopposed, ...though there are other bands in the world doing stuff like us."
Like many others before them, the band started by playing a few cover songs to find their own sound and style. They soon recorded their first EP, and then their first full-length CD, "Lost in the Shadows," by 2005. The European metal scene took notice instantly, leading to a spot on Headbanger's Open Air Festival and eventually signing to Melissa Records.
