'''The Interbeing''' is a Danish metal band based in [Copenhagen](/source/Copenhagen), known for their extreme blend of [progressive metal](/source/progressive_metal) and [industrial metal](/source/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](/source/Invocator) frontman [Jacob Hansen](/source/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](/source/Soilwork), [Tesseract](/source/Tesseract_(band)), [Gojira](/source/Gojira_(band)), and [VOLA](/source/Vola_(band)).<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](/source/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](/source/Metal_Storm_(webzine)) |date=2012-05-18 |accessdate=2025-01-20}}</ref> The band has since toured with bands like [Stone Sour](/source/Stone_Sour), [Meshuggah](/source/Meshuggah), and [Parkway Drive](/source/Parkway_Drive).<ref name="Introducing"/>
