German progressive metal Beyond The Bridge are proud to announce that they are the main support act for the European Tour 2014 of Serenity. Dates and locations are listed below.
Beyond the Bridge consists of six professional musicians, who wholeheartedly stand behind their exceptional and sophisticated music. Withal, the virtuosic mastery of their instruments is never the aim but the origin of their journey on which they always entrain their listeners. For Beyond the Bridge, the contents of their music, the story of every song, the compositions and arrangements, are always a part of something bigger – a total work of art shining over the borders of different genres and daring to defy conventions. A high ambition which they succeed to embrace on their debut album ‘The Old Man and the Spirit”.The album “The Old Man and the Spirit” deals with the polarity of human sensousness and superhuman awareness. The latter is embodied by the character of the Spirit. She is the personification of all wisdom and awareness that is unachievable to mankind, however, lacks of the ability to feel. Her opponent, the character of the Old Man, is presented as a bon vivant who has lived through all highs and lows of human sensation. Steadied by his old age, he searches for a sense, for a coherence, for the meaning of his life in the maelstrom of transciency.
As the story unfolds, the Spirit convinces the Old Man that there is no way for Man to overcome the limits of human perception. They can only be transgressed with the help of the Spirit’s wisdom. Aware of human curiosity, the Spirit offers to answer all of the Old Man’s questions – in exchange for his experiences and feelings. A high price, as they are inseperably connected to the Old Man’s memories.
Beyond the Bridge‘s debut album, “The Old Man And The Spirit”, was released in January 2012 via Frontiers Records.
