Beyond Seventh Dimension Interview

 1..Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the musical project since the recording of the new album?



I've been working on some new material lately. I have a few songs in progress and a couple of concepts floating around for the direction of the new stuff, and for the second album.


2.You have your first full length coming out in September, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?


I really just write whatever pours out of my soul and focus on packing as much emotion into it as possible.


3.Both of the band members have experience playing in other bands, what is it that you bring into the music of 'Beyond Seventh Dimension' that you have not been able to do with your other groups?


I should clarify one thing right away: I am the only official member of this band. My friend Saku, the guy from Deep Noise Studios handled the electric guitars and bass, while three guys from my other band, Kallas, took care of the vocals, acoustic guitars, and a few solos.

I’ve never really had the chance to just write what pours out of my soul completely uncompromised, so this project is exactly that.


4.Both of the band members also have experience playing other genres of metal, do you feel this makes your black metal style more diverse?


Naturally, I have a strong death metal background, which you can definitely hear in some of the tracks. I'm also a huge movie and video game soundtrack enthusiast, so those influences shine through as well. I think listeners will even catch a bit of Pink Floyd admiration in the song 'Rogue Planet.


5.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?


The Universe: As Without, So Within


6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?


Finnish photographer Tiina Törmänen is responsible for the debut album's cover art. She is best known for photographing northern nature, the starry sky, and the aurora borealis, making the collaboration a natural fit for the album's title and themes.


7.Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?


There has been talk about turning this into a proper band. The guys from my other band who contributed to the album are completely down for it.


8.The album is going to be released on 'inverse Records', how did you get in contact with this label?


While reaching out to get my music placed on an Inverse Records Spotify playlist, the label expressed interest in a collaboration.


9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal?


I've received nothing but positive feedback so far.


10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?


Diving deeper into atmospheric black metal, I'm aiming to channel even more emotion into the new material.


11.What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are currently listening to nowadays?


I can get into almost any genre, honestly.. as long as it has heart and real feeling behind it.


12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?


Just a massive thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far. It means the world to know the music is connecting with people. This music is entirely uncompromised, it's what pours straight from my soul.

Beyond Seventh Dimension/Tähtien ikuinen suru/Inverse Records/2026 Full Length Review

 

  Beyond  Seventh  Dimension  are  a  solo  project  from  Finland  that  plays  an  atmospheric  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2026  album  "Tähtien  ikuinen  suru"  which  will  be  released  in  September  by  Inverse  Records.


  Atmospheric  sounding  synths  start  off  the  album  and  also  mixes  in  with  the  heavier  sections  of  the  music  at  times.  Melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  along  with  some  clear  singing  also  being  added  into  certain  sections  of  the  recording.


  Growls  are  also  utilized  at  times  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  album  also  adds  in  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  which  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling.  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  some  songs  also  add  in a  small  amount  of  clean  playing.  


  A  great  portion  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also  being  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  when  they  are  utilized  as  well  as  the  album  also  mixing  some  of  the  mid  90's  symphonic  style  with  the  more  modern  era  of  the  genre,  spoken  words  can  also  be  heard  briefly.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  cosmos  and  darkness  themes.


  In  my  opinion  Beyond  Seventh  Dimension  are  a  very  great  sounding  atmospheric  black  metal  solo  project  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Blazing  Tears  of  nebulae"  and  "Rogue  Planet  -  Symbol  Of  Depression".  8  out  of  10.
