Caribbean Creators: Beyond the Animus | Loop Jamaica – Loop News Jamaica

Just about three months ago, four men in their twenties joined forces to become the countrys newest metal band. Beyond the Animus is, as the name suggests, a catharsis for lead singer Donny Bartoo who uses the songs as a therapeutic escape, to get him through some of his darker moments last year.

The band jokes he recruited them by playing the songs on his phone in the middle of a noisy concert; so they moved to the parking lot to hear properly, and everything fell into place.

Inspired by System of a Down, Slipknot, Linkin Park, Eminem, the group says its sound is actually like the R&B singer The Weeknd. In their words, its WeekndCore!

As the world reopens to performances the band hopes they have more opportunities to open the eyes of Trinbagonians and the world to the sounds of Beyond the Animus.
