Beyond Creation was formed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada by current guitarist and lead vocalist Simon Girard and former guitarist Nicolas Domingo Viotto. The band expanded their lineup over the coming years and self-released their debut full-length The Aura in 2011.[4]

On February 19, 2013, the band signed with Season Of Mist and then re-released The Aura. To support the album's re-release, Beyond Creation toured North America on the Decibel Magazine Tour with Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death and Immolation.[5][6]

The band released their second album, Earthborn Evolution, on October 24, 2014.[7]

In 2015, the band toured extensively, embarking on The Summer Slaughter Tour, alongside Arch Enemy, Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, The Acacia Strain and Cattle Decapitation and also supporting label-mates Hate Eternal on the Infernus World Tour.[8][9]

In 2016, the band performed their first European tour as part of Obscura's Akróasis European tour.[10]
