Biography
Bewized is a four-piece groove metal/metalcore band from Thessaloniki, Greece, formed in 2007. The current lineup of the band comprises Paschalis Theotokis (lead vocals, guitars) and Pantazis Theotokis (bass) who are the founder members of the band, Orestis Georgiadis (lead guitars) and Akis Tsiantis (drums).
"Carved Upon Your Bones" was their first attempt to establish their presence in the underground metal community. A self-financed demo EP, that was released in 2008, which drew favorable reviews from the Press. This demo EP was a propitious approach, but only a compelling force for the band to come and settle into existence. What labels bewized is fully depicted on their more mature full-length debut album (11 songs) entitled: "The Scorch of Rage", recorded at Noise Factory Studios (Thessaloniki, Greece) by Christian Rahm, mixed and mastered by Fotis Demertzis at Mix Studios (Thessaloniki, Greece).
In November 2010, Bewized inked a deal with Casket Music (a division of Copro Records, UK) for a worldwide release of "The Scorch of Rage" made on April 25th, 2011. Late 2010 also found them with their first official video directed by Bob Katsionis (Nightrage, Rotting Christ, Suicidal Angels) for the track “Laceration of Innocence”. Numerous sources reproduced their stuff; from video hosts (BlankTV[US], BryanStars[US], Rockenweb[ES], Deathmetalbaboon[NL]), webzines (fuctART[GR], Wretched Spawn[UK]), TVshows (MTV Headbangers Ball[GR]) to online radio stations (Hard Rock Radio Live[US], IMB Radio[US]), which ultimately led Bewized to see a global recognition and exposure.
In order to promote their album, shows were scheduled but part of them went through on a UK tour booked by their agency, spanning from July 16th - July 31th, 2011. In the meanwhile, they engaged a management deal for 2 months by Monolith Management (a division of Matchless Records, USA) and signed a distribution contract for the Transatlantic compilation disc which is distributed via GoDIY Records, USA. This Industry sampler features bands from Illinois as well as different European regions. A 2012 addition to their videography is their second clip for the track “Exhaling Perfection” directed by NonSap Visuals.
The recordings for the sophomore album started in December of 2012. Guitars/bass/vocals have been handled by Stelios "Stelth" Koslidis at StelthSound while drums have been tracked by Emmanouil Hermano Tselepis at Red House Studios. They gladly announce that the production, mixing and mastering of the album will be fully undertaken by Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Arkaea) at Woodward Avenue Studios in Ontario, Canada. Besides the production, mixing and mastering Jon also nailed some of the coolest vocals on the second track entitled “Medusa’s Head” and Björn "Speed" Strid from Soilwork did also a grandiose guest appearance throughout “Heart Bled Dry”, yielding high quality clean and harsh vocals.
This second studio album entitled "Undead Legacy", is set to be released on October 28th, 2013 through NoiseHead Records (AT).
