BELETH are Chris Long and Sebasthian Bentos-Pereira
“Black Speech” is a track taken from BELETH critically acclaimed album “Silent Genesis” out via Wormholedeath worldwide.
Black Speech is about depression taking a physical form, and speaking to you from behind, trying to manipulate and influence your thoughts and decisions, and ultimately destroy you.
BELETH music delivers a dark, heavy, driving punch, with an element of groove, catchy riffs, and ferocious, guttural vocals. Influences come from a large and diverse background of metal sub-genres, which can make it difficult to pinpoint a specific category to their sound.
Do you remember No Quarter from Australia? I reviewed their record couple of years back. This time, the guys released a three song e.p. and I have the honor to listen and review this one for my zine. The title song is acoustic and it is a heartfelt ode to loss, heartbreak, losing a family member and coping with grief. I experienced that too much in my life already. I love the song. My President is a re-recording of an old song, being classic skatepunk fast melodic anthem with superb harmonies, guitar work and vocals. What most surprised me is a Metallica cover Damage Inc and No Quarter practically blew me away with their merciless cover of this thrash metal classic. Nice little e.p. Check out other releases by this great Australian band.
The good people at Nuclear Winter Records continue to do an amazing job with re releasing some jewels of Australian underground that people like me haven´t had chance to hear prior to this re releases. One of them is Temple Nightside. They were formed in 2010 with intention to play Death Metal Necromancy and today this band consists of current and former members from many notable Australian and New Zealand bands, including Ill Omen, Grave Upheaval, Diocletian, Nazxul, Ulcerate, and Vassafor, to name but a few. This is a re release of their debut record containing music that will melt your face off. The music of Temple Nightside is a raw and blistering all out attack of black death metal, kinda reminding me of Archgoat in a way. Meaning dark atmosphere that you can cut with a knife, blast beats, apocalyptic sharp guitar riffs, thundering bass and growling death metal vocals. This record is pure evil and I love it. Songs are not long, but hit you right in your face. This is a great one indeed.
