(Napalm) Total Time: 43:23
This is a bizarre neo-gothic kinda of emotional music that is not too sad, as you might expect - obviously the themes are about darkness, silence and the usual catatonic bollox, but still the music is a bit more upbeat. Think of CREMATORY having a birthday party, with Anneke singing and a male voice a bit TIAMAT like, and that description will be pretty close. Somewhere between the danceable songs of TIAMAT and the less heavy CREMATORY songs lies the sound of BESEECH - I m pretty sure this aint a debut by any means, I think I have heard the name before - and the arrangements are too good to belong to a first comer band. Oh there's a DANZIG cover - in the form of Devil's Plaything. Which is nice but nowhere as haunting as the original. It's a pretty respectable offering in the genre - and not as clichéd as everything else. Heck I kinda enjoyed this one.
