Italian visionaries A TEAR BEYOND staging power and atmosphere in a performance that blends music with a strong visual identity. Progressive and melodic GOTHIC METAL with a commanding Industrial touch and playful Electro nuances is their theatric pleasure.
The band returned in 2025 with the album “Afterthought“, which marks a new evolution in their uncommon artistic journey. They have already shared the stage with well-known acts such as Nightwish, Moonspell, Septic Flesh, Dark Lunacy, Isole, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and others.
On December 12, the poetically inclined sextet from Vicenza, Veneto, released their 🆕 MUSIC VIDEO for the song “Deliverance (Forgiveness Saga Pt. III)” from their fourth album “Afterthought”, released in April 2025.
Visually, too, the profound Italians celebrate the boundary between inspiring fantasy and reality, inviting viewers to indulge in sumptuous dreams …

Band statement on the new Video Clip:
”Here’s the epilogue to this sad old story, which has traveled the Veins of Time to this day. A TEAR BEYOND, Michele Piazza, and Kristian Anderson Cosplay present ‘Deliverance‘ (The Forgiveness Saga – Ending Act)’.
‘Deliverance‘ is the culmination of a years-long journey that has brought to life an original saga, crafted to celebrate human relationships across time and beyond consciousness.
We wanted to bring to music and screen the emotional confusion of men and women alike when subjected to emotional forces as profound as the abyss. We wanted to analyze how an act of evil can only generate more evil, and how there is no possibility of putting anything in order without an immense effort aimed at Good. A long and difficult journey… in this case, in a fictionalized, secular way.
We speak of profound love, recklessness, and madness. Of extreme hatred, confusion, delirium, depression, and loss of awareness and control. But also of renewed conviction… that with courage and humility, a path to freedom can be found!
The music video for ‘Deliverance’ is produced by Michele Piazza (like the previous two in the saga), who confirms himself as an excellent partner for us, based on shared goals and methods. The writing and visions are the fruit of great introspection by each participant in this project… from us A TEAR BEYOND to every person involved in the technical side of filming the video.
We talked a lot, shared even more. We experienced the emotions of this work from within, and we hope we’ve succeeded in conveying them to the public. The lyrics, music, and visions are all intertwined in a powerful and thoughtful way, and the work of creating it has kept us busy and in suspense for years.
‘The Forgiveness Saga’ (including ‘Deliverance’) is a reflection we urge you to share on how necessary it is to think before acting, and to try, every now and then, to step back and examine our own conscience. It’s an attempt to reawaken feelings that have long since faded, feelings that have accustomed us to indifference, selfishness, and a total lack of hope and courage. It’s about how we’ve become cold and prisoners of our own ills like never before.
So let’s say that if we want to be truly free, we must learn to forgive.
Ourselves and others.”
