Be'lakor - "Stone's Reach"
Prime Cuts Music
Australia
Melbourne, Australia based Be'lakor (taking its moniker from a demon character of the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop game) return two years after their highly acclaimed "The Frail Tide". Compared to "The Frail Tide" Be'lakor have expanded their use of Swedish melodies and classic metal riffing alongside the interplay of acoustic - and electric sections. The growling vocals are still very reminiscent of Shape Of Despair. The light use of keyboards greatly adds to the pagan - and dark metal atmosphere. The guitar leads/solos and piano/synthesizers have gotten a more prominent and integral part in these new compositions, making them sound far more epic than on the band's previous release. With the increased melodies on guitar "Stone's Reach" combines the best of melodic death metal and European dark/pagan metal into a package that few acts can pull off, let alone match or surpass. The production by Pennydrop Audio and producer duo Warren Hammond and Phil Forbes is highly organic with a clean-cut crunchy guitar tone, audible bass lines and crisp sounding drums. The piano sections were recorded at Sing Sing Studio in Melbourne. The album was mastered at Crystal Mastering. Artwork, design and lay-out by Sheri J. Tantawy is nothing short of amazing and the booklet comes with highly professional pictures, lyrics and entensive recording information. "Stone's Reach" is the logical successor to "The Frail Tide" and expands upon that album's already considerable epic scope. Be'lakor have crafted an album that will establish them in the global dark metal scene. Alongside progressive folk metal act Ironwood, Be'lakor are the melodic dark/death metal band you need to hear this year.

Co za debiut! Jestem absolutnie zauroczony tym co zaserwowała ta norweska ekipa i absolutnie nie dziwię się, że Dark Descent nie zwlekała z kontraktem. Dotychczasowe doświadczenie muzyków Sover...
...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
