* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Somewhere between a soft and a standard 10, though several of their earlier songs (namely "Social Disability") crept over towards the harder end of the scale. ''Algorythm'' is closer to a soft 10 or a hard 9 due to its greater emphasis on lengthy subdued passages.



* TechnicalDeathMetal: Generally closer to the prog end of the spectrum, but they fit within tech as well and have become one of the more famous bands in the genre as of the 2010s.

Beyond Creation is a Canadian technical/progressive death metal band. Once just one of many lowly local tech acts, they unexpectedly exploded onto the scene in the 2010s and quickly became one of the most major players in the genre.

Formed in Montreal in 2005 by Simon Girard (vocals, guitars), Nicolas Domingo Viotto (guitars), Dominic "Forest" Lapointe (bass), and Guyot Begin-Benoit (drums), the band was initially a part-time venture due to Lapointe's increasingly busy schedule with Augury, who were taking off at the time themselves. By 2007, Viotto had already left, and Kevin Chartre quickly took his spot. The band continued to make the rounds while Lapointe did his thing with Augury as his main gig, but they were slowly starting to go places themselves, and 2010 saw the release of a demo. This was around the time when Lapointe left Augury, and Beyond Creation became his new main gig. The band quickly made their way into the studio again, and in April of 2011, ''The Aura'', their full-length debut, was self-released. The album wound up attracting a fairly major amount of press and word-of-mouth online, and over the following year, the band started playing more and more shows, though Begin-Benoit left at some point during the year and was replaced by Philippe Boucher (First Fragment, Chthe'ilist). 2013 wound up being a major year in several aspects: the band signed to Season of Mist in the beginning of the year, followed by a regional jaunt on that year's Decibel Tour and a Japanese tour around the end of the year. They returned to the studio in 2014, and ''Earthborn Evolution'', their sophomore full-length, was released that October. 2015 wound up being an even bigger year for them, as they toured relentlessly across the US, including a spot on that year's Summer Slaughter, though Lapointe left early in the year and was replaced by Hugo Doyon-Karout (Brought by Pain). Over the next two or three years, the band toured. And toured. And toured. Just as people were starting to seriously wonder if they were ever actually going to do a third album, they announced their return to the studio in early 2018, and ''Algorythm'', their third full-length, was announced that summer for an October release.

!!The band contains examples of the following tropes:
* AlienAbduction: "The Deported".
* EpicRocking: "The Deported" (11:09), "Algorythm" (7:39), "Coexistence" (7:37), "The Inversion" (7:16), "Fundamental Process" (7:13), "The Aura" (7:07), "Surface's Echoes" (6:53), "Theatrical Delirium" (6:49), "Binomial Structures" (6:31), and "Omnipresent Perception" (6:12).
* GratuitousEnglish: Their early lyrics were somewhere between this and BlindIdiotTranslation due to Simon Girard's generally subpar English, but between becoming more proficient in English and writing more lyrics in French, it has become less of an issue.
* IAmTheBand: Simon Girard is the sole songwriter and generally leads the band's creative direction.
* {{Irony}}: Philippe Boucher left First Fragment to join Beyond Creation, but due to family issues, he had to sit out the 2015 Summer Slaughter, and [[Music/{{Gorod}} Samuel Santiago]] (who replaced him in First Fragment) wound up filling in for him.
* LeadBassist: Dominic Lapointe was Types A, C, and D, as he was renowned for his extreme technical ability, was already a selling point due to his work with Augury and Atheretic, and played a central role in their sound with his basslines, while Hugo Doyon-Karout is a Type A and D himself for similar reasons.
* MetalScream: Simon Girard is a Type 2.
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Somewhere between a soft and a standard 10, though several of their earlier songs crept over towards the harder end of the scale.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: The entire band save for Kevin Chartre, who towers over his bandmates. Hugo Doyon-Karout is particularly diminutive.
* ProgressiveMetal: A major feature of their sound, and they are generally closer to this than to tech.
* SiblingDuo: Simon Girard and Philippe Boucher are cousins, which is close enough to apply.
* SpecialGuest: [[Music/{{Cryptopsy}} Christian Donaldson]] and Youri Raymond (Unhuman) have had guest appearances on album, while Samuel Santiago (who was in First Fragment at the time) was a live fill-in.
* StartMyOwn: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] by Dominic Lapointe; while he did indeed help found the band while he was in Augury and Atheretic as a side project, it was ultimately [[IAmTheBand Simon Girard's band]] that he was a member of, not ''his'' band.
* TechnicalDeathMetal: Generally closer to the prog end of the spectrum, but they fit within tech as well and have become one of the more famous bands in the genre as of the 2010s.
