Beyond Perception was initially formed in the summer of 2004 as a
Progressive/Rock band by Kostas Kalavrezos (Guitar), Panos Kalavrezos
(Bass), Tolis Toleas (Drums) and Paris Poukamisas (vocals, guitar). The
course of the band altered after a while due to the emerging Metal/Rock
influences of its members, thus changing drastically their idiosyncrasy and
musical compositions. Having created the musical material that expressed
them, Beyond Perception record and release their first demo-album which
finds positive respond by their fans. The band makes tours and live
performances in Greece while their music evolves with heavier and more
aggressive tunes. Two years later Paris decides to depart from the band due
to musical differences. That leaves Beyond Perception in a difficult state,
seeing as they had no singer and new material to work on, so they search for
approximately ten months to find a worthy singer, up to their musical
standards. Eventually they came across Panos Karnaris (former singer of
W.F.D.D) whose unconventional character and taste upgraded them to a
higher musical level. The band records another demo with their new singer
and after a few months of hard work and live performances, and with the
urging of their fans, comes the recording of their first complete album.
Promptly after the release of the album, Beyond Perception tours all over
Greece, performing and playing as a support band with big names in the
Greek Metal scene while making themselves successfully known outside
Greek audience through various websites.
