There are multiple artists under the name Beyond - the American underground rapper, the Hong Kong band, the UK pop group, a moniker of Gijs Vroom a Dutch electronic producer, and the NY hardcore band, and also a short-lived Hungarian HC-metal band from the nineties. And a progressive metal band from Canada. And a Norwegian melancholic rock band from the 90s. Also a high-end production company for trailer-music.

For the Hong Kong band: Beyond is a revolutionary Hong Kong band that emerged in the mid-80’s. Young and energetic, the four-piece band showed the Chinese audience that music can be much more than just pleasure to the ears. Beyond sang about freedom, strength, and love. Certain songs (Glorious Days and Amani) are even specifically dedicated to war and peace happening in other parts of the world at the time. The band’s frontman Wong Ka Kui fell to his death in June 1993 but Beyond continued until 2005. The remaining three members now have individual projects.

For the hip-hop artist: Beyond is an underground rapper on the Minnesota-based Rhymesayers label, alongside Atmosphere. His album “Comparison”, produced by Ant of Atmosphere, was released in 1996.

In terms of NYHC…
During its brief (1988-1989) bright lifespan, New York City’s Beyond made hardcore the way it’s supposed to be made: loud, fast, aggressive, and bristling with youth angst spinning wildly out of control. Either you’re too old to appreciate this, or you’re not.
