The Oslo, Norway-based metalcore band Benea Reach was formed in 2003 by drummer Marco and vocalist Ilkka. After recording its first and only demo in 2004, the band attracted interest from several labels within its respective scene. This led to the group signing with Tabu Recordings (a division of Tuba Records) and the recording of the debut album, Monument Bineothan, in 2005--which was released in 2006 in Europe and 2007 in the United States. The band has already made an early statement by receiving a Norwegian Grammy nomination for its debut LP. Originally a five-piece orchestra that has developed into a musical collective, no longer defined by the number of individuals, this shape-shifting nature of Benea Reach generates various constellations within the group's dynamics--evolving the bands vision for sound and pacing. The constructive core consists of the two founding members and two guitarists Martin and Håkon, but the live-settings vary from five up to eight members. Description from last.fm.
