DND: When and how was Beyond The Fallen formed? Kaiten: Beyond The Fallen comes from the ashes of a previous project that Joy and I created in the past. It took a very brief period of brainstorming for us to recruit the right people to form the band and the crew, and that happened a year ago….the band’s pretty new. A thing we’re so proud of. DND: What’s the story behind the band’s name? Kaiten: We were discussing religious topics and this definition came out. To define something underneath the subterranean levels of hell, to define something beyond Lucifer himself. What’s worst than Evil itself? What’s Beyond The Fallen?
