Beyond... is the compilation album by American industrial metal band Static-X, released on July 20, 2004, through Warner Bros. Records.

[5] As most of the CDs the rare songs were featured on had gone out of print, Static-X decided to release a compilation album to make them more accessible to fans.

[5] To make the release more special for hardcore fans, the band decided to include never-heard-before demo tracks that were recorded at the band's rehearsal space in Los Angeles, in order to "give all of you an idea of how a song evolves from its demo form, to the finished recording you hear on one of our albums".

("Symptoms of Mercy"), which Static and bassist Tony Campos both considered to be one of their favourite songs from the Wisconsin Death Trip sessions, features heavy guitar riffing inspired by Crowbar.

[6] Static described "Down" as "a killer mixture of drum-and-bass style with pure metal shredding", and stated that it was inspired by the Slayer/Atari Teenage Riot collaboration "No Remorse (I Wanna Die)", from Spawn: The Album (1997).

[7] Static considered the song to be "the heaviest, most brutal thing [Static-X] ever put down on tape", noting that he lost his voice tracking vocals for it.

[7] "Breathe" was also written during the Machine sessions by Static, who left it off of the album as he felt it did not fit in with the rest of the material.

Beyond... includes two remixes of the band's singles "Push It" and "I'm With Stupid", by then-Fear Factory touring keyboardist John Bechdel and Ministry bassist Paul Barker, respectively.

[9] The "Get to the Gone" demo (from Machine) was recorded by Static, Campos and Jay as part of a rehearsal tape for producer Ulrich Wild in late 2000, following Fukuda's departure from the band.

[9] "Otsegolectric" features an extended intro with a sample, whilst Eisen stated that "New Pain" was "a real work in progress" at the time of its recording, and that it would "[morph] a lot from [its] original concept".
