Member CD ReviewsRana K. (Lady-Rana) from LAUREL, MS Reviewed on 9/21/2009... I really enjoyed this CD. It was just the type of goth music I was looking for. I only wish that the male lead hadn't tried quite so hard to get those bass tones. It sounds forced at times. He's no Peter Steele. But this was only a minor issue for me. I love the music. It's rich and powerful and must be played at maximum volume! I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this band.
CD Reviews3.5 Stars; Decent mysanthropyk_overlord | USA | 09/03/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Beseech seems to be a blend of synth-pop and gothic metal, which I would never expect to work but they seem to do it. Put aside the fact that their lead singer looks like a poster child for the Pink Flamingo alternate lifestyle entertainment center, they are pretty good in the area of synth and atmosphere, but musically they're a typical goth-rock act. Nothing much to say about the guitar/drum/bass section, except that it's pretty straightforward and they don't do much out of the ordinary. The male singer sounded good the first time I heard him, but his voice gets annoying after a while. The girl isn't too bad. Overall an album worth getting if you're into stuff like Lacuna Coil or Type O Negative." REALLY GREAT ALBUM! Hein Frodensen | US | 08/03/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Beseech is a seven piece unit from Sweden. (Digression: /ON) Hold on, yet another superb Swedish hard rock band? What is it about that country, anyway? I mean, most music scenes would love to have two or three great acts emerge on the national (or international) scene each year. Yet every time some janitor at a Swedish label farts or blows his/her nose, it's awesome! (Digression: /OFF) This is their fourth full length album, but just the first to be "officially" released in America. Their previous efforts had been import only, with the video clip for "Between The Lines" (from "Souls Highway") being heavily traded and downloaded with the band's full permission. This technique has paid off, with Ryko picking up their latest effort. In a word, this album is: awesome. Erik Molarin's vocals are less Peter Steele-ish this time around, and the band is truly developing a style all their own. Female singer Lotta Haglan's style is likewise getting more diverse, and the songwriting has been kicked up a notch. In the past, Beseech has been compared to HIM and Evanescence, and not unfavorably. This album is more mature and less derivative, and a thoroughly pleasant listen. Standout cuts include "Drama" (the first single), "Forever Falling", and "Addicted". If you like dark, melodic, gothic heavy metal, then this is one album you shouldn't miss! (Taliesin Govannon)
