Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Beyond This Life by Dream Theater

Today's Metal Track comes from Dream Theater's 1999 masterpiece Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory. It's considered to be one of the greatest progressive metal albums of all time and I completely agree. This concept album tells the story of Nicholas who discovers that, in a previous life, he was a woman, Victoria Page, who had been murdered in 1928. Through past life regression therapy and hypnosis, he spends the entire album trying to solve the murder which involved a love triangle between Victoria and two brothers, Julian and Edward. 

In Act I: Scene Four: Beyond This Life, we see the events portrayed as a murder/suicide as told through newspaper articles and the eyes of a witness who happens to be Edward. The "witness" says when he came upon the scene he saw Victoria on the ground dead with Julian standing by with gun in hand before taking his own life. 

Is this what really happened or did Victoria agree to take Julian back and Edward killed them both in a fit of rage. Did anyone read this far? Does anyone care? If so, be sure to listen and read about Act 2!

Our deeds have travelled far

What we have been is what we are

All that we learn this time

Is carried beyond this life
