Beyond Hell is a trio from Missouri, Texas featuring the ever productive drummer Wayne "Elektrokutioner" Sarantopoulos (Decrepitaph, ex-Eternal Suffering, Foreboding, Tombstones) plus brothers duo Ryan P. (vocals) and Tony P. (guitars, bass). "The Sleeper Awakens" is an old school death metal endeavour in the vein of (early) Incantation ("Onward to Golgotha", "Mortal Throne Of Nazarene"), Death ("Scream Bloody Gore") and Pestilence ("Consuming Impulse"). Vocally, this is similar to (early) Sinister, particularly the "Hate" era. The album title seems inspired by the classic sci-fi novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert. The technical leads/solos form an excellent addition to this monolithic, horror-inspired effort. The 9 tracks of this record aren't all of the same quality, especially the middle section drags a bit. Highlights include 'The World Burns Forever' and 'Approaching Doom'. The last 4 tracks are taken from the "...And Evil Crept Through" EP. The black-white artwork is similar to Nominon's recently released "Monumentomb". Sarantopoulos is involved in an unreal amount of projects and bands, but Beyond Hell is amongst the better of his recent creative outlets. Given the musical direction, it's strange that Razorback Records isn't releasing this particular effort.
