Beyond The Citadel Of Coup De Grâce was an experimental post-hardcore band from Tucson, Arizona, United States.

The band started around early 2006. Salvaged from the rubble of previous projects comes Beyond The Citadel Of Coup De Grâce. In March of 2006 they recorded their EP Touché with Dave Swanson (New Found Glory, Halifax) and spend nearly a month touring, all accomplished within six months of being together. These boys hail from Tucson, Arizona, not only sharing an area code with popular artists, The Bled and Versus The Mirror, but also sharing the same practice room with both of these groups. Though influenced by their location, Beyond The Citadel brings a fresh sound to the table. Attempt to categorize all you want, but the music draws inspiration from a large array of genres and artists.

The band spent early April recording the Touché EP, a small taste of what the band is capable of. The album follows the storyline of earlier, non-Disney versions of Beauty and the Beast, dealing with the matters of vanity and lust. Most of the month of June was devoted to touring the southwestern US, and they were well received everywhere. Whether it be the bands live performance, highlighted by acrobatics and other foolishness, or the boys ability to make friends everywhere they go, people quickly find plenty of reason to appreciate and support.

They finished recording their follow up EP titled "Bang! The Whiskey Mask". During the recording process they had the pleasure of working with Nando Rivas, Matt Grabe (Goodbye Tomorrow, The Maine), and Cory Spotts (Job For A Cowboy, Blessthefallall, Greeley Estates). They also had the honor of having Adam Lohrbach do guest vocals on one of the tracks.
