Bio: Formed by solitary metal shredding guitarist Razael Wickham May 9th 2003, he set out to bring back the 80s thrash style with a new industrial edge. Founder and mastermind for the band, Razael has spent the past 3 years as task master & teacher seeking & training other musicians who were talented and dedicated, while perfecting the bands sound. Though having several line up changes over the years, that has not kept the two remaining members from keeping the band alive while searching for a solid and talented lineup. Based on the literary works of Razael, the music itself is dark, edgy, and powerful to epic proportions. From the technical ear-splitting metal riffs and heart warming solos to the deep meaningful & thought provoking lyrics, The Edge of Beyond is a sonic assault on the senses. Their EP, entitled Warhorses of The Dawn, contains the bands most well-known songs including the self titled track Warhorses of The Dawn and Shadowheart as aired on local Missouri radio stations including 100.1 The Buzz. After winning the Hometown Buzz by a landslide of votes in October 2004, The Edge of Beyond has become well known around the mid MO area with a very respectable following. Having disgust with todays metal scene, with its screaming vocals and simplistic guitar playing, it is the bands goal to bring back music that not only makes a point, but has something for the scorned and quick-witted to relate to.

Our goal is to not worry so much about reaching the top of the charts, but to make music that really means something. Music should help people with their everyday lives and influence the listeners on a personal, musical, and artistic level. We want to make real music thats going to get you stirred up and make you think. Our music affects you in such a way that it becomes symbolic yet elemental, where it will always be remembered and never destroyed or forgotten. Though having apocalyptic, fantasy-styled themes, the music does not stray from relation to the listeners. One of the things we have aimed to do, since the music is based on the The Edge of Beyond story, was to make sure that it followed the storyline, while being universal in the subject matter.

The rage conveyed in the songs expresses the heavy action of the battles in the story and mind of the writer, while the deep emotion portrays the many feelings of the characters in relation to the listeners and scorned life of the writer, giving a very cathartic experience. In essence, the music and or album(s) are an operatic saga of an alternate world at war! Influenced by bands such as Megadeth, Pantera, Judas Priest, and old Metallica, The Edge of Beyond is ready to take the world by storm!
