From the beginning, it was clear that Beyond Creation possessed a special aura. On their debut album, the Montréal four-piece concocted the next progressive evolution in technical death metal by splicing together classic brutality and prog’s insatiable curiosity with a refreshing knack for melody. Now, in light of releasing their first new song in eight years, the Independent Music Award winners and Canadian Grammy nominees are announcing their first tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Aura.
Next month, Beyond Creation will tour Latin America on a special The Aura 15th anniversary tour. The band will perform the album in its entirety for the first time ever. Their setlist will include “Omnipresent Perception”, which has more than 6 million views on YouTube, and “The Deported”, the album’s epic closer, which has never been played live before in Latin America. This tour will also mark the live debut of revelatory new single “Reverence”. Joining as special guest on all ten dates are Fallujah, who are touring Latin America for the first time.
“Our 15th anniversary tour in celebration of The Aura is officially starting in Latin America next month”, Beyond Creation vocalist and guitarist Simon Girard says. “We will perform our debut album in its entirety for the first time ever!”
“Fifteen years ago, The Aura marked the beginning of our sonic journey”, Girard reflects. “A relentless and intricate force that carved a lasting legacy into the heart of the technical death metal scene. This anniversary tour is a celebration of where it all began and of everything we’ve built together since”.

Before appearing out of the Canadian woodwork back in 2011, Beyond Creation had already undergone multiple permutations. But with the band’s full-length debut, the Montréal four-piece quickly revealed themselves as the next evolution in technical death metal. The Aura has been encoded in the genre’s DNA ever since.
“Laden with atmosphere, The Aura stands out from the crowded 2011 tech/death scene thanks to the prominent use of fretless bass, varying drum patterns, and experimentation with tempo”, wrote Metal Injection in a recent retrospective. “Combine that with a variety of searing vocal styles and classically-influenced, lightening-fast sweeps, The Aura is a decadent joy to the mechanically and sonically minded”.

The French part of Canada is home to a vibrant culture of technical death metal fostered by outstanding acts such as Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Martyr and Neuraxis. This illustrious family tree has produced many sprouts in the past, yet none of them are as brilliant as Quebec’s amazing scion: Beyond Creation.
Beyond Creation saw the light of day in 2005 in Montreal, Canada but it wasn’t until 2010 that the band was ready to hit the stage with their original line-up consisting of Simon Girard, Kevin Chatré, Guyot Bégin-Benoît and Dominic ‘Forest’ Lapointe. A year later, the band self-released their debut full-length album The Aura (2011), which quickly became a highlight in the genre. Since then, Beyond Creation has been known as the progressive, innovative and exciting new metal sound of their homeland, Quebec.
In late 2012, the band had Philippe Boucher (Ex-First Fragment, Incadescence, Chthe’ilst, Décombres) take Guyot’s place on drums and things started moving at a faster pace in 2013, when they joined Season of Mist, re-releasing ‘The Aura’ and touring North America, Japan and Australia. In 2014, Beyond Creation released their second masterpiece Earthborn Evolution.
After the addition of Hugo Doyon-Karout (Brought By Pain, Equipoise, Conflux) on bass, the band focused on touring as much as possible on the Earthborn Evolution album cycle compiling three North American tours, three European tours, countless shows in Canada, appearances in Mexico, Colombia and Dubaï, sharing the stage with heavy weights like Arch Enemy, Hate Eternal, Misery Index, Dying Fetus, Psycroptic and Obscura. They also took part in multiple large-scale music festivals such as Hellfest (FR), 70 000 Tons of Metal (US), UK Tech-Fest, Montebello Rockfest (CA), Heavy MTL (CA) and Damnation Fest (UK).
In 2018, Beyond Creation recorded their IMA award-winning and JUNO-Nominated third album Algorythm at The Grid Studio in homeland Canada. With their latest album, Beyond Creation delivers a ferocious blend of technicality, melody, and brutality aided by fang-filled growls, which is interwoven with beautiful progressive interludes.
Since then, Beyond Creation have toured extensively. The band have played multiple times across North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand with the likes of Ne Obliviscaris, Decapitated, Cynic and Rivers of Nihil. They’ve also hit the festival circuit with appearances at Shred Fest, Loud As Hell Open Air and Trois-Rivières Metal Fest.
In 2026, Beyond Creation released “Reverence”, their first single in eight years, ahead of their special 15th anniversary tour for The Aura.
