Bio
Unusual - Uncomparable - Unique As one sees Beyond The Labyrinth's band logo and the credo "Conceive, Believe, Achieve" beneath it, one can only realize : this is no ordinary rock band. Combining crunchy guitars with classic song writing and cinematic orchestration, Beyond The Labyrinth (BTL)'s Classic/Melodic Hard Rock is influenced by a wide range of musical styles, from genuine 70's Classic Rock and pop, over A.O.R., 80's Metal to symphonic, progressive, gothic ….As a matter of fact, Beyond The Labyrinth's music sounds like what would happen if movie soundtrack composer Hans Zimmer, AC/DC guitar player Angus Young and Abba songwriters Bjorn and Benny would decide to form a band ... Beyond The Labyrinth, probably Belgium's sole Classic Melodic Rock band, have been around since 1996. What sets them apart from other bands may well be their unique sound, songwriting skills, deeper-than-average lyrics and song subjects, and genre-surpassing approach. Between 1997 and 2011, Beyond The Labyrinth have released 3 full albums and 10 singles and 6 video clips. Their song "For Eternity" was reworked by US based artist Lisa LaRue for het "2K9" albumin collabiraton with (former Asia lead singer) John Payne. Masters in out-of-the-box thinking, BTL came up as first with the unique "Work-In-Progress" method of building up an album by releasing the music as singles first, each time supported by an accompanying video clip. The clip to "Oceans Apart" – a narrated comic based on real photographs- is one more example of their unique way of thinking. As a result, the 3rd BTL album "Chapter III-Stories" has confirmed the bands international level and approach – and their unique position in their home country. Mission Statement : To help make this world a better place by creating and spreading music that helps people find strength, that gives people hope, that sooths and comforts people, that makes people dream away, that elevates people. Geert Fieuw : "Whenever we hear about someone finding inspiration, strength, comfort in our music, it fills our hearts with joy : that's what we do it for… an autistic person living up when hearing "Castles in the Sand", a reviewer recognizing his situation in "Strength", a biker funeral where "No Place For A Dreamer" is played", a photographer taking "In Flanders Fields" as an inspiration for a special photo shoot. This is our reward, this is our true recognition. We are not here to play music for ourselves but to bring music to the world with a positive message" Composed out of a group of accomplished musicians, BTL is able to perform and appeal to rock as well as mainstream audiences. They have successfully supported bands in different styles, ranging from Uriah Heep (Classic Rock), Threshold, Pagan's Mind and Pain Of Salvation (Progressive Metal), Epica (Gothic Metal), to local Mainstream top bands like The Magical Flying Thunderbirds (Belgium's top party cover band) and De Kreuners on concerts in the Benelux, Germany and France. All band members share the same passion for music, years of experience and musical insight, and will, in the recording studio, push and work on the songs, sound and production until completely satisfied - or completely exhausted, whatever comes first ;).

Greetings from Symbolizer (formerly Symbolic),
We are happy to let you know that our long awaited debut album Thanatos Unleashed has been unleashed! Featuring eight hard hitting and melodic thrash metal compositions, the album has been released through Hellion Records in Germany.
Reviews:
"Excellent examples of ethereal and aggressive thrash metal, characterised by a hail of riffs and dynamic solos, sung by the fine voice of Rasmus Kiaer"
metalbrigade .it, Italy
"Singer and guitarist Rasmus has a great, raw, yet melodic voice, fitting perfectly with the songs that draw influences from bands like OVERKILL, ARTILLERY, MELIAH RAGE or XENTRIX and ONSLAUGHT. You will find some very touching compositions that are great to headbang to. Killer debut album!"
