" Beyond the Pale's music is Alternatif. Not in the style of Nirvana or Pearl Jam, but The Cure, The Mission, or Sisters of Mercy: i.e. Goth.

The band was formed in 1988. After some member changes, the band now comprises Seiji (Sage) Gutierrez (guitars and vocals), Ernie Lepore (drums) and Danny Jirgens (bass). The trio now presents its latest project: for the want..., a CD containing six original songs produced by Joe Petrella. The production quality is excellent.

The sound, namely the moody and distant guitars, emerces us into an atmosphere which sets the stage for the emotion of the lyrics. I don't know about you, but when I listen to this type of music, I deem a song successful when I feel like crawling into a fetal position under a table in complete darkness to listen to it. The songs on for the want...are successful, very successful."
