In the world of progressive technical death metal, few bands have carved out a sound as distinctive as Beyond Creation. Known for blending blistering technicality with jazz influences, memorable riffs, and dynamic songwriting, the band has remained a standout in the genre since their debut album The Aura.

We recently caught up with guitarist and vocalist Simon Girard to talk about life outside the band, his current home in Costa Rica, his passion for photography, and the long-awaited return of new Beyond Creation music. With their latest single “Reverence” making waves and a new album on the horizon, Simon opened up about the creative process behind the song, the evolution of his songwriting, and what fans can expect next.

From Montreal’s legendary metal scene to upcoming tours and the importance of musical dynamics, here’s our conversation with Simon Girard.

After nearly eight years without a full release, Beyond Creation is clearly entering a new chapter. With a fresh single out, a new album in progress, and international touring plans underway, the band is returning with renewed energy and creative ambition. For Simon Girard, the focus remains on storytelling through music — crafting songs that balance technical precision with emotion, atmosphere, and dynamics.

If “Reverence” is any indication of what’s coming next, the future of Beyond Creation looks both ambitious and exciting. Fans should keep their eyes open for the new album and upcoming tour announcements — because this long-awaited return is only just beginning.
