Behind the Sun was formed on the edges of Israel's vast Negev desert. The music and lyrics on their debut album speak of their personal trials and tribulations living in this heavenly but harsh land. This self titled debut album contains: heavy, electric, tube driven riffing, an interlocking, charging and grooving rhythm section, blended with progressive styles and sensibilities and their own skeptical, cynical, but in the end positive philosophy as written word and amplified sound. The music and the musicians themselves are influenced and inspired by 70's progressive rock and 90's grunge and modern heavy music. The lyrics of Behind the Sun reckon with, among other things, the breakdown of society, loss, decay, personal relationships gone down the tubes, the sanctity of life, first hand experience of the horrors of war, corrupt leadership, and the transcendental nature of their desert home. Behind the Sun released their self-titled debut studio album to the world on June 11, 2009. A year and a half in the making, the album features 12 original songs representing the band's epic and unique musical vision. Veterans of the Tel Aviv underground music scene and alternative radio in Israel the power and the fury of the Behind the Sun live concert experience continues to draw new, rabid fans every time they take the stage. After a busy year of touring in 2009, and television appearances on Israeli channel 1 and channel 24, the band is currently writing and arranging new material for a second album, which they will begin recording at the end of 2010.
