After Infinity's Beyond Eternity blends melodic power, heavy and progressive metal with orchestral depth. For fans of Helloween and Symphony X.

After Infinity return with 'Beyond Eternity', the sophomore album following their acclaimed 2024 self-titled debut. Formed in 2022 by guitarist, songwriter and producer Zsolt Szilagyi (Dreamtale, Frozen Factory), the Finnish project brings together an outstanding cast of guest vocalists and musicians, allowing each song to develop its own identity while remaining part of a cohesive artistic vision. Blending melodic power metal, heavy metal and progressive influences, 'Beyond Eternity' combines powerful guitar riffs, memorable melodies, rich orchestral arrangements and atmospheric keyboard textures. The album moves effortlessly between fast-paced anthems, epic compositions, introspective ballads and darker moments, offering a varied listening experience without losing its distinctive sound. The album features guest performances by Paolo Ribaldini (Leverage, Delain), Mika Tauriainen (Entwine, Shamrain), Sara Strömmer (Shereign), Aitor Arrastia (Metal de Facto), Nitte Valo (Dreamtale, ex-Battle Beast), Leonard F. Guillan, together with Nina Kuronen, Jesse Henrik Eemeli and Skye Alley. Despite the variety of voices, the record maintains a recognisable sound anchored by Szilagyi's songwriting. Lyrically, 'Beyond Eternity' explores hope, anger, resilience, self-discovery and the passage of time, balancing personal reflection with broader social themes. Produced by Zsolt Szilagyi, featuring orchestrations by Gideon Ricardo, bass by Ville Koskinen, mixing by Benjamin Connelly (with Ari Laurila on 'Whisper in the Air') and mastering by Jasse Kesti, the album delivers a modern yet organic production. Artwork is by Jobert Mello (Sledgehammer Graphix). With its accomplished musicianship, respected guest artists and refined production, 'Beyond Eternity' is a strong addition to the contemporary melodic metal catalogue and will appeal to fans of Sonata Arctica, Symphony X and Helloween.
