After hearing and reviewing the first offering of Melodic Death Metal from Australia's Be'lakor I found it to be a rather promising debut. The promise wasn't misplaced either as the band have backed themselves up rather nicely with this new album entitled Stone's Reach. While their previous release The Frail Tide was good, the new album is cleaner production-wise and I think a deeper piece of work as well. Read more ›› |

When I listened to this album for the first time my first thought was "this is clearly melodic death, but there's something about it", something that marks the line between another copy and a new way of design from the same prototype. Despite the guitars following Gothenburg death metal, one innovation of this band is the demarcation of that style because there's no chorus/verse imposed law, there's no fear of falling into doom or entering solos at low speed. It's very important to be creative inside the musical genres and this Australian group achieve it in a brilliant way. Read more ›› |

I've listened to this album once . Dont get the praise over this album. I dont mean its bad, its actually very interesting and beside Insomnium,Be'lakor is the best melodeth band I know now but again its an unoriginal album. Now im going to give it another try and hope to love it.

Good music, the vocals are not my style and they kind of ruin the whole rating for me...

This album reminds me of Dark Tranquillity, Amon Amarth, Opeth and Agalloch at the same time, which isn't bad considering that those are all the bands I love.  And I also need to mention one of the most impressive cover artworks and layouts I ever saw.

Written by NocturnalStalker on 10.09.2012 at 17:42 Interesting comment about the cover art - I really love it too. Wonder if anyone knows if that's a real statue somewhere in the world?

This was one of the first albums that truly exposed me to the greatness of Metal Storm. I wouldn't have learned about these guys without them years ago. Admittedly, my music taste has changed a lot, but I do remember this was a great album back in the day.

Just wow. Nothing revolutionary but such perfectly crafted songs. Some of the best riffs the melodic death metal scene has to offer.

Very tight sound. This is one of those melodeath bands,that worth to listen,even the genre is mostly pretty boring and worn.

This is truly a masterpiece. Been listening to this album for 2-3 years. "Countless Skies" is the most memorable track of this album. Their latest album was a gem release too.
