BEYOND PERCEPTION

Beyond Perception was originally formed in the summer of 2004 as a Progressive / Rock band by Kalavrezos Kostas (guitar), Panos Kalavrezos (bass) Tolis Toleas (drums) and Paris Poukamisas (vocals, guitar). After a while the band takes a different direction. Mainly influenced by Metal / Rock music. They drastically changed their musical intentions.

Having composed the musical material that expresses them, they record and release the first demo, which has a positive response from the fans. The band goes on tour and gives live shows in Greece, as their music evolves into something more serious and aggressive. Two years later Paris leaves the band, because of different music approaches. The band is facing many difficulties since it has a new musical material and needs a singer too.

Panos Karnaris (former singer of WFDD), a musician with unusual attitude and extraordinary music preferences, becomes the new singer and enhances the band. They record another demo with their new singer and after several months of hard work, they record their first professional album, with the encouragement of their fans. Soon after the release of their album, Beyond Perception are on tour again, playing with famous bands of the Greek Metal scene. They sign a contract with Casket Music and they quickly become known abroad, through various music websites.

On September 2010, Blood & Whiskey is released through DSN Music, an American independent label in Arizona. Soon after this release, they lead a quite successful tour in England and Ireland, where their material has a very warm reception. Beyond Perception was the support group to Spiritual Beggars and Annihilator in Athens (winter 2010).

Bio
Beyond Perception Οι Beyond Perception διαμορφώνονται αρχικά το καλοκαίρι του 2004 ως μια Progressive/Rock μπάντα από τους Κώστα Καλαβρέζο (κιθάρα), Πάνο Καλαβρέζο (μπάσο), Τόλη Τολέα (κρουστά) και Πάρη Πουκαμισά (φωνητικά, κιθάρα). Η πορεία της μπάντας όμως παίρνει άλλη κατεύθυνση μετά από λίγο καιρό. Επηρεασμένοι κυρίως από τη Metal/Rock μουσική αλλάζουν δραστικά την ιδιοσυγκρασία και τις μουσικές συνθέσεις τους. Αφού έχουν δημιουργήσει το μουσικό υλικό που τους εκφράζει, ηχογραφούν και κυκλοφορούν το πρώτο demo τους και βρίσκουν θετική ανταπόκριση από τους θαυμαστές τους. Η μπάντα πηγαίνει σε περιοδεία και παίζει ζωντανά σε όλη την Ελλάδα, καθώς η μουσική τους εξελίσσεται σε κάτι πιο βαρύ και επιθετικό. Δύο χρόνια αργότερα ο Πάρης αποφασίζει να αποχωρίσει λόγω μουσικών διαφορών. Η μπάντα είναι σε δύσκολη θέση αφού έχει νέο μουσικό υλικό και χρειάζεται τραγουδιστή, έτσι αρχίζουν να ψάχνουν για δέκα μήνες περίπου προσπαθώντας να βρουν ένα άξιο τραγουδιστή που να πληροί τις μουσικές τους προδιαγραφές. Τελικά βρίσκουν τον Πάνο Καρναρή (πρώην τραγουδιστή των W.F.D.D) με ασυνήθιστο χαρακτήρα και προτιμήσεις, οι οποίες αναβαθμίζουν μουσικά την μπάντα. Ηχογραφούν ένα ακόμη demo με τον καινούργιο τους τραγουδιστή και μετά από μερικούς μήνες σκληρής δουλειάς και την παρότρυνση των θαυμαστών τους ηχογραφούν το πρώτο τους επαγγελματικό δίσκο. Αμέσως μετά την κυκλοφορία του album, οι Beyond Perception περιοδεύουν και πάλι, και παίζουν μαζί με μεγάλα ονόματα της Ελληνικής Metal σκηνής, υπογράφουν συμβόλαιο με την Casket Music και γίνονται γρήγορα γνωστοί και εκτός του ελληνικού μουσικού κοινού μέσω ποικίλων websites. Το Σεπτέμβριο του 2010 κυκλοφορεί το album Blood & Whiskey από την αμερικανική ανεξάρτητη δισκογραφική εταιρία DSN με έδρα στην Αριζόνα. Ακολουθεί μια απόλυτα επιτυχημένη περιοδεία στην Αγγλία και την Ιρλανδία, όπου οι Beyond Perception έχουν πολύ θερμή υποδοχή από το κοινό. Οι Beyond Perception έχουν μοιραστεί τη σκηνή ως support με σημαντικές μπάντες του εξωτερικού όπως οι Spiritual Beggars και οι Annihilator. www.myspace.com/beyondperceptionband Beyond Perception Beyond Perception was originally formed in the summer of 2004 as a Progressive / Rock band by Kostas Kalavrezos (guitar), Panos Kalavrezos (bass) Tolis Toleas (percussion) and Paris Poukamisas (vocals, guitar).
