Background notes
Archive material and source history
Beyond the Pleasure formed in Germany around the mid-1980s, with Chris E. Harms on vocals and Mathias 'Matze' Lange on guitar. They built a reputation for energetic live shows and lyrics that didn't pull punches.
Their 1990 album 'This World Is Sick' gave them their breakthrough moment. The title track became something of an anthem, though its blunt social commentary also drew criticism from some quarters. They kept recording through the 1990s and 2000s, putting out albums like 'Testament' in 1992 and 'Devil in Disguise' in 2002.
The lineup shifted over time, with bassist Jürgen 'Jogi' Wiehler and drummer Thomas 'Tom' Black also appearing in the band. They worked with other metal musicians occasionally, including Mark Morton from Lamb of God. Their later material, like 2014's 'The Way is the Goal', showed them incorporating more industrial and thrash elements into their sound.
