The Riddle Of Steel BEYOND THE EMBRACE is a six piece metal outfit, hailing from New Bedford, Massachusetts. This band weaves aggression into melody, with catchy overtones, and enough twin guitar harmonies to ignite the soul.

The band quickly broke into the local bar scene, and made an immediate impact with their rousing live performances (featuring a three guitar onslaught) and adrenaline fueled cover versions of classic songs such as, Iron Maiden's “The Trooper”. In mid 2001 the band came the attention of Metal Blade Records via a demo review
