Words of wisdom to live by

Lindsay @lindsayc88.bsky.social · 5d

Go to shows and buy the merch if you can. Support metal artists, musicians and creators by sharing their work. Stay positive, stay kind and be respectful.

It's really that easy 🤘🏻

Last night's gig was bittersweet because we enjoyed it as always, but this was our last show with Janneke de Rooy 😢💔. We are very grateful for the years we spent together in Beyond the Pale 🙏. We have created many fond memories and we're going to miss her.

Our lead vocalist Janneke de Rooy has decided to part ways with Beyond The Pale and focus fully on her other band, Maatkare.
We are sad to see Janneke leave, but naturally we respect her decision. We hope to find a suitable replacement and start the next chapter with a new vocalist. Stay tuned!
