The production of A Line In The Sand was a labour of love, guitarist Arun Kamath says “ultimately we have a defined sound and vision of what we want Beyond Salvation to be.” with drums recorded at Noiseboy Studios in Salford and vocals recorded at Silver Lining Studios in Denton. The band wanted to take their time to record the guitars, bass, and additional layers at home, Jon Pedley (vocals/guitar) comments “Thankfully, we have the tools and skills to record from home. This EP really has been quite DIY in its creation, and we’ve poured our heart and soul into making the best EP we can.”
Beyond Salvation have been carving their path in the metal scene with passion and pride. Their music, characterised by thrash with strong influences of groove and death metal, sets them apart from the crowd and shows the versatility of the bands music. A Line In The Sand encapsulates the band’s ethos of leaving the past behind and moving towards a brighter future. With themes revolving around shedding negative aspects of life and embracing change, each track on the EP delivers powerful messages regarding crumbling empires, negativity, embracing change and the journey towards self-growth.
The EP’s artwork, conceptualised by front man Jon Pedley, features striking imagery that ties into the themes of each song. From the grim reaper as a corrupt king to a burning world beneath a line drawn in the sand, the artwork sets the tone for the EP’s powerful narrative.
