1) Beyond is a revolutionary Hong Kong band that emerged in the mid-80's. Young and energetic, the four-piece band showed the Chinese audience that music can be much more than just pleasure to the ears. Beyond sang about freedom, strength, and love. Certain songs (Glorious Days and Amani) are even specifically dedicated to war and peace happening in other parts of the world at the time. The band's frontman Wong Ka Kui fell to his death in June 1993 but Beyond continued until 2005. The remaining three members now have individual projects.
2) A death metal band from Mainz, Germany that was active from 2008 (then known as Shapeless) to 2018. They played in the old school death metal style of american and south american bands such as Necrovore and Mortem. They have released a demo Relentless Abomination Vortex in 2011 on Detest records, a 7" EP, Enter Transcendence in 2012, and a full length LP Fatal Power Of Death in 2013, both on Iron Bonehead productions. Roland M. (as R) on vocals and guitar was the only constant member.
3) During its brief (1988-1989) bright lifespan, New York City’s Beyond made hardcore the way it’s supposed to be made: loud, fast, aggressive, and bristling with youth angst spinning wildly out of control. Either you’re too old to appreciate this, or you’re not. Fans of the NYC youth crew scene — including Judge, Youth of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, and the Cro-Mags — should already know and love Beyond.
Members of Beyond went on to be in Inside Out, Burn, Orange 9mm, Shelter, Bold, and Quicksand. Oh, and bassist Vic Dicara became a Hare Krishna.
4) Beyond aka Musab is an underground rapper, co-founder of the Minnesota-based Rhymesayers label. Member of The Dynospectrum, alongside with Slug, Mr. Gene Poole, and I Self Devine. His first album "Comparison", produced by Ant of Atmosphere, was released in 1996.

The lyrics to Beyond's song "Xian Dai Wu Tai" (translated as "Modern Stage") speak of the struggles of individuals who are part of the entertainment industry, but feel trapped and suppressed by their roles. The lyrics begin with laughter, which may be interpreted as a form of irony or sarcasm, as the following lines describe individuals who are trying to maintain a façade of normalcy and control despite the pressures they face. The lyrics describe a rebellious teenage girl who still puts on a façade of propriety, as well as a sad supporting character who is laughed at. A popular idol is described as trying to find a moment of peace amid the pressures of fame, while a cunning politician is still pretending to be fair. In the midst of all this, the lyrics describe people who are betting their lives on their strength, and clinging to biased beliefs.
The lyrics seem to suggest that people in the entertainment industry, whether they are idols or politicians, are not free to be themselves or express their true thoughts and feelings. Despite trying to maintain normalcy and control, they are constantly under pressure from external forces and are forced to suppress their true selves in order to meet the expectations of their roles. There is a sense of alienation and detachment, with the individual struggling to understand their place in the world.
