In The Abyss

🤟🤟🤟

"The New Wave of British Death Metal continues to grow, with progressive releases from the likes of CONJURER, CELESTIAL SANCTUARY and CRYPTIC SHIFT all raising the bar in recent years. If BEYOND GRACE maintain the quality and ambition of songwriting on display here, they well and truly deserve a place among the current pace-setters of the British underground."

Huge thanks to the crew at Distorted Sound Magazine for their stellar review of the new EP. We are duly humbled by all the kind words we've been receiving so far.

Check out the full review, and pre-order the EP, via the comment(s).
