Information
Beyond Forgiveness is a Symphonic Metal band from Colorado Springs, CO. Reformed in 2014 by original guitarists Richard Marcus and Greg Witwer, Beyond Forgiveness is on a focused quest to embody the full meaning of the label ‘symphonic’ through the composition of lush classical orchestras, choirs, and operatic vocals with a hints of folk, colliding with extreme elements found in death metal and black metal which some having labeled as “Beautality”.
​
Originally formed as a studio project as well as working through finding the perfect line-up, the band released their first EP, “The Ferryman’s Shore.” Featuring new singer Talia Hoit, the album quickly gained national and international recognition, including rave reviews in numerous metal publications such as: Sonic Cathedral, Lords of Metal, Metal Gods TV etc.​
​
Continuing the quest to find a permanent line-up, Beyond Forgiveness recruited drummer Sean Rogers and quickly began playing around the Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas. In 2017, the band completed a small tour in Europe, playing shows in Germany, and Belgium culminating in the “1st annual, 6 Hours of Symphonia Festival” in Lausanne, Switzerland. While in Europe, the band met with Czech producer Jarek Musil, who previously worked on the EP and began recording their first full-length album.​
​
In November of the same year, Beyond Forgiveness released, “The Great Wall.” Partnering with the promotional company Metal Coffee PR, the album again gained national and international recognition. Numerous songs have been added to standard rotations on several internet radio stations as well as two Colorado stations. Within a few weeks the band was contacted by and signed with Sliptrick Records.​
​
Partnering with Sliptrick Records, Beyond Forgiveness enlisted the help of bassist Jim Lasselle. On September 23rd of 2019, the band released their second Full-Length album, "Live to Tell the Story" as well as releasing a video for the single "Echoes."​
​
The band also embarked on their second international tour, playing numerous shows throughout Ukraine, Russia and Latvia, including an appearance at the ARM Antimateria Rock & Metal Festival in Yelets, Russia.
​
Late 2019-2020 will see the band playing shows throughout the southwest, United States as well as an upcoming domestic tour.

8/10 - Metal Nalata
"The instramental is impeccable and the symphonics are extremely tasteful, but it is the vocals of Talia Holt that shine on the ten tracks of 'Live to Tell the Story' "
-Marcelo Lopes Vieira
8.5/10 - Ever Metal
"In a world where we hear plenty of soulless groups release an album just to have one, it is very impressive to hear an album like 'Live To Tell The Story' "
- Victor Augusto
8/10 - Noizze
Nevertheless, the whole album is a compelling listen with each song having a memorable hooky vocal line. If dramatic symphonic music is your cup of tea then don’t miss this one.
-Sasha Bannister
8/10 - Dead Rhetoric
Beyond Forgiveness have established some of their own take on the symphonic/gothic metal landscape by adding in their doom/death influences, veering into epic/power aspects when necessary, and as such Live to Tell the Story keeps your attention throughout it’s 54-minute running time.
-Matt Coe
88/100 - Lords of Metal
