Album Notes

“Easily the best-unsigned band in the U.S.” (Harder Beat Magazine, Dallas, TX). Miles Beyond is an instantly recognizable U.S. Power Metal band that succeeds even when the odds are stacked against them. Miles Beyond's self-titled debut album stands out defiantly from the current dismal U.S. Hard Rock/Heavy Metal scene; giving hope to the faithful that true heavy metal is not dead in the United States. Even without the support of a Record Label or Management, Miles Beyond has been seen in both the U.S. and Europe playing with some of the biggest names in the power metal genre such as Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Iced Earth, Edguy, Sonata Arctica and Kamelot. Melody is everywhere and is the key to the group’s high energy sound. It lives in the stellar vocals, catchy songs, killer dual guitar leads and intricate bass lines.

“The Band’s self titled debut is a refreshing indicator that quality metal is alive and well in the good ol’ U.S. of A.” (Harvest Moon Music). Germany’s Heavy Magazine gave their CD a 12 out of 12 rating and they received the 2007 Song of the Year award for A Call to Odin from Sven’s World Radio, CA.. The lyrics on each of the twelve songs cover themes ranging from adventure, fantasy, historical and mythical beings to real life experiences, taking the listener on a musical journey through a landscape of sound.

“Miles Beyond are what heavy metal is supposed to be…fun” (The Hairball John Show). Live, the band displays an energy and excitement that transcends the stage, infecting the audience. Miles Beyond has also performed alongside major international acts including Trivium, Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe, Powerman 5000, W.A.S.P., Danzig, Metal Church, Joey Belladonna of Anthrax, Blitzkrieg and Girlschool. Their live performances have received the following compliments:

“Miles Beyond already took me by surprise with their great debut album… On stage the band is even much better than on CD … superb singer & great sound. If you ever have the chance to see this band live, don't hesitate.” – Mario Van Dooren, Mario’s Metal Mania

Miles Beyond “came, saw and conquered - wow, what a gig!” - Bruder Cle of Rock Hard Magazine

“If you are still hungry for new bands that stick out of the masses, go for Miles Beyond" (Hellion Records, Germany). Their songwriting is highlighted by strong musicianship from the whole group. Vocalist Tim Moody provides soaring melodies as well as dynamic guitar work and the high octane guitar playing of Paulo rounds out the partnership of the guitar duo. The rhythm section of Larry Moody (bass) and Tod Fisher (drums) lay the foundation for the guitar driven sound of Miles Beyond.
