Beyond the Sixth Seal originated as a side venture involving Mike McKenzie and Greg Weeks of The Red Chord. Established in the suburbs of Boston in 1998, the group initially embraced a thrash metal style. After producing multiple demos, bassist Adam Wentworth (also of The Red Chord) became part of the lineup in 2000, contributing to their first EP A Homicide Divine, which was recorded in early 2001.
The band embarked on a European tour and performed across the United States before commencing work on their debut full-length album, Earth And Sphere. During this period, several lineup modifications occurred: Adam shifted from bass to guitar, while Rob Devlin (guitar) and Lawrence Kwong (vocals) exited the band. Matt Woods (formerly of American Nightmare) joined as bassist, and Mike McKenzie assumed vocal duties. Their album was released in 2002 through the German label Lifeforce Records. The group ultimately dissolved in 2003.
In 2006, Beyond the Sixth Seal reassembled as a studio-only project and secured a contract with Metal Blade Records. A demo featuring new tracks is accessible via their Myspace profile.
