Discographie:
First step into the source – 2004
Intuispection – 2005



Now after their first output “First step to the source”, we have the second release in shape of “Intuispection”. You cannot impress a chop onto the French metal band BEYON-D-LUSION. However, their music goes in the direction of Dark meets Gothic Metal meets something melodic meets anyway a lot of fat guitars! And no fear: no opera vocals!!! Be curious…

Begun as a project between Mehdi Khadouj and Alexandra Bernarn, this has matured to a complete band: Mehdi´s brother Sammy Khadouj (bass guitar) and drummer Julien Nicolas came to support singer and guitarist/keyboardist.

Difficult, difficult to find the suitable description here: absolutely cool will probably not be sufficient!;)
Atmospherical, melodic, a lot of fat guitars, a little oriental touches and the prominent, powerfull voice of Alexandra Bernard! She can contrast with her golden voice in the wide mass!

Additionally, you have to lift out that the songs are rich in detail (sometimes orientally touched tracks like the instrumental “Lumina” or also “A-mazing grace” which serves crude male vocals). This album sounds like a unity and creates an atmosphere, as if you formally dive into the music.This should not say that “Intuispection” is an ethno album, no, of course, we have real metal which is melodic and powerfull, and touches yourself directly!

12 totally different tracks which belong together, as if they were one.

“Intuispection” of the four French people fascinates by the extremely professional and diverse vocals and the sound scaffolding which simply shows an absolute unity! Interesting ideas and interesting conversions of the song melodies!

Synthis, samples and hard guitars just alternate, like the sometimes softly seeming and straight away again voice full of power of Alexandra. The mixture is what counts! You will never be bored with that album!

Here is the innovation for which we have waited for so long!
