Beyond Terror Beyond Grace formed in August 2004 in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney, as a four piece doing Napalm Death and Discharge covers. Coming to the realization that their influences were closely aligned in Grindcore and Death Metal, they set about writing some original material. Their first original songs, "Murderer" and "No Further Existence", were both born out of vocal demos which B Ware had recorded a few months prior to the bands formation. These 2 songs were completed in October 2004 and solid rehearsals in the following months allowed the band to progress as a unit and further hone their sound.
In February 2005, Ben Terror unexpectedly distanced himself from the band and after this departure BTBG were forced to try and implement another guitarist. This proved to be unsuccessful and for a period it looked like the band would come to an end. But in late March 2005 Ben Terror returned to the fold and the band went back to it's original lineup, with a greater Grind influence then ever before. In May/June 2005 the band recorded a 4 Track EP at Blue M studios entitled: "Still Human, Still Humane??". It features a furious mix of Grindcore and Death Metal and has been described by one listener as "a wall of brutality hidden with dark intricacies, that sounds like a horror film where the darkness is not seen directly but implied." This original self-funded/self-released EP was eventually heard by Grindhead Records and the label offered to the distribute the cd, an offer which was accepted. After mastering at 301 Studios, the EP has now been released onto an unsuspecting metal public.
June 2005 saw the arrival of the first Beyond Terror Beyond Grace live performance, and the band has played shows in the Blue Mountains and around Sydney supporting Behemoth, Psycroptic, The Amenta, Mortal Sin, Ebolie, Fuck...I'm Dead, Bludgeoner, Hard Knuckle Express, Kania, and Rather Be Dead, amongst others.
The name "Beyond Terror Beyond Grace" is open to individual interpretation, but originally comes from the play written by David Mamet - "Speed The Plow".
