'''The Interbeing''' is a Danish metal band based in Copenhagen, known for their extreme blend of progressive metal and industrial metal.
== History == The Interbeing was formed in 2006 with a lineup consisting of vocalist Dara Toibin, bassist Jacob Hansen (not to be confused with heavy metal producer and Invocator frontman Jacob Hansen), guitarists Boas Segel and Torben Pedersen, and drummer Kristoffer Egefelt, with the intention of making a more technical metal sound with an electronic edge, that would later be stylistically compared to bands like Soilwork, Tesseract, Gojira, and VOLA.<ref name="Introducing">{{cite web|url=https://distortedsoundmag.com/introducing-the-interbeing/ |title=INTRODUCING: The Interbeing |website=Distorted Sound |date=2017-06-23 |accessdate=2025-01-20}}</ref> The Interbeing released a demo EP titled ''Perceptual Confusion'' in 2008, with all tracks re-recorded as part of their debut album ''Edge of the Obscure'', released in 2011 and having received good reception.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metal.de/reviews/the-interbeing-edge-of-the-obscure-46847/ |title=The Interbeing - Edge Of The Obscure |website=Metal.de |accessdate=2025-01-20}}</ref> A music video was released for the single "Shadow Drift" on 18 May 2012.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://metalitalia.com/articolo/the-interbeing-il-video-di-shadow-drift/ |title=THE INTERBEING: “Shadow Drift” video |website=Metalitalia.com |date=2012-05-26 |accessdate=2025-01-20}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://metalstorm.net/events/news_comments.php?news_id=16815 |title=The Interbeing - New Video Online |website=Metal Storm |date=2012-05-18 |accessdate=2025-01-20}}</ref> The band has since toured with bands like Stone Sour, Meshuggah, and Parkway Drive.<ref name="Introducing"/>
