Hailing
from Athens Greece comes one of Europe's heaviest rock sensations, with
the rise of Beyond Perception.
Beyond Perception was
initially formed in the summer of 2004 as a Progressive/Rock group by
Kostas Kalavrezos (Guitar), Panos Kalavrezos (Bass), Tolis Toleas
(Drums) and Paris Poukamisas (vocals, guitar).
The course of the group altered after a while due to the
emerging Metal/Rock influences of its members, thus changing
drastically their idiosyncrasy and musical compositions. Having created
the musical material that expressed them, Beyond Perception recorded and
released their first self titled album, which received a positive
response from European audiences. The group continued touring in Western
Europe, while their music evolved with heavier and more aggressive
tones.
Two years later lead throat Paris Poukamisas departed from the group due to musical differences, and Beyond Perception came across Panos
Karnaris (former singer of W.F.D.D) whose unconventional character and
taste upgraded them to a higher musical level.
The group returned to the studio and recorded their next project with a
new singer, finally completing the first full album The Final Descend
in 2008. The reformed group and sound satisfied hard-core fans in
Greece as well as the UK, setting Beyond
Perception up as one of the hottest emerging rock acts in Europe.
Hard rock and Metal critics across the globe took notice of the growing
act:
'Music that could easily be coming
from Georgia (USA)...'' ''...great song-writing'' (Metal
Hammer)

metallic aggression tempered
by bluesy riffs and moody spoken word segments...'' ''...the
spirit of
sludgy southern rock...'' (Kerrang)

and choppy guitar riffs give the album a heavy groove...'' ''...a very
aggressive, noisy and distorted album.'' (The Metal

penchant for a hook that'll stay with you like a twelve-pint
hangover...'' ''...a vocalist that sounds as though he eats babies for
breakfast...'' (Terrorizer)

what the doctor's ordered!'' ''...The Final Descend is certainly
