James Byrd’s Atlantis Rising – Beyond the Pillars (2011)


Former FIFTH ANGEL guitarist James Byrd is mostly known for his series of virtuosic Metal releases on Lion Music under the moniker ATLANTIS RISING. The band’s latest release, “Beyond The Pillars,” is actually a collection of old master tapes that singer Freddy Krumins happened to find sitting in a long-forgotten box. These twenty-five-year-old recordings predate the band’s 1990 debut such that several of the tracks on “Beyond The Pillars” ended up being reworked and included on the debut.


Looking at the two tracklists, it looks like the calmer, more melodic tracks from “Beyond The Pillars” were eventually released on the band’s self-titled album, while all the heavier tracks were lost to the ravages of time.It’s fortunate that Krumins unearthed these tapes, as they show a faster, heavier side of ATLANTIS RISING than what is typically seen in the band’s back catalogue. It’s important to consider that while these tracks are heavier, they are by no means rawer than the standard ATLANTIS RISING fare. Quick tracks like “Chasing The Shadows” show a high level of polish in the European Power Metal vein. “Fallen Warrior” is a slick mid-tempo song with a nice groove and some good Melodic Metal riffing courtesy of Byrd.
