Reviews
From the Ocean to the Stars
“This is just a fantastic album, uplifting melodic progressive cinematic symphonic metal. That ought to be a new genre of music, and Beyond The Dead Of Night are definitely leading the way.” - Martin Howell
— Powerplay Magazine
“A great British band who can play, write and record intelligent well-crafted symphonic prog metal songs that, on this evidence, should have seen them on a much bigger stage and more well known than they have been before.” - Ian Johnson
— Fireworks Magazine
“The band now returns under the name BEYOND THE DEAD OF NIGHT - matured and with a work that audibly lives up to its own claim. From The Ocean To The Stars ́ presents itself as a mature, multi-layered symphonic-prog metal album that finds its strengths and thus convincingly concludes and at the same time redefines the band's previous path. ” - Michael Haifl
The Evolving Science of Self
“The opening salvo of ‘Here Come The Metal Men’ and ‘Seraphim’ produce, in my opinion, the absolute best we’ve witnessed from the band hitherto... surely Dead Of Night can now realistically reach for the stars. Highly recommended. ” - Dave Crompton

“Beautiful, daring, dark and powerful The Evolving Science of Self is an album that is as refined as it is raw. An amalgamation of grandiose ideas and rugged metal riffs it feels close, or firm. Warm and alluring maybe. Whichever it is, its robust arrangements are magical and ultimately captivating enough to inspire the spirit into flames.” - David Oberlin
“DEAD OF NIGHT has quite a bit of talent in the band that can easily stand-alone but together they create a musical theater for Metal heads that is wonderful.” - Tiffini Taylor
