Beyond Creation are a progressive technical death metal quartet from Montreal. What distinguishes them from the mass of bands that labor in the same field is that their music relies heavily on melodic compositions and near-constant rhythmic grooves and easily accessible riffs that seem to be technically impressive by happenstance rather than design, making their sound that much more appealing. Their lyrics and concepts are often rigorously intellectual and deal with topics such as science, spirituality, politics, corruption, government conspiracies, and space aliens.

The Omnific is a breathtaking progressive instrumental trio from Melbourne, Australia, featuring two other-worldly intertwining bassists, Matt Fack and Toby Peterson-Stewart, backed by flamboyant drummer Jerome Lematua; creating an extraordinary mosaic that dances between progressive rock, djent, funk, and synth-driven soundscapes.
