Metal Review (Album of the Week): 6/6 - 5.5/6 - 6/6 - Read review here "The Frail Tide just oozes metal perfection at almost every note, riff, solo and synth line ... for you fans and labels reading this, if I can give my ringing endorsement to another unsigned band...this year that deserves your attention right now, it’s Be’lakor. ” MetalStorm: 8/10 - Read review here "Lead and rhythm entwine very well, and produce quite masterful sounds. Recommended." Metal Mayhem UK: 10/10 - Read review here “...simply nothing short of magical. Be'lakor have created some of the finest and atmospheric Metal I’ve heard in a while.

Chronicles of Chaos: 8/10 - Read review here "I truly loved this album... it somehow slipped into my daily listening routine. Be'lakor show promise, skill and imagination... they deserve your attention...” metal-archives.com: 99% - Read review here (link on top right) "...I haven't heard a band of Be'lakor's calibre come from down under before... The Frail Tide is a remarkable debut. The musicianship is just brilliant, the lyrics are oozing with grandeur, and the whole album is an incredible experience... surely they're going to become one of Australia's premier metal acts.” The Metal Forge: 8/10 - Read review here "...pure aural bliss!

Maelstrom Zine: 8.5/10 - Read review here "Be'lakor is destined to become a revered member of the death metal community... [they have] produced The Frail Tide out of their own pocket, and have released it themselves, which is quite astounding considering how masterful it is... If they can do this well on their own, it's impossible to imagine how awesome Be'lakor could be with a label...” Metal Invader (Featured Album): 5/6 - Read review here "This young band avoids all trends... gaining at the same time the respect of all doom/death metal fans!

" Sputnikmusic: 4.5/5 - Read review here "...Dark, vivid, haunting, but most of all, beautiful... Rarely does a band manage to blend beauty and aggression so wonderfully... Be'lakor show up most other established acts in that sense. They quite literally have it all; individuality, flair, creativity and some damn good musicians. They are going to go places, and you can quote me on that..." Lords of Metal: 90/100 - Read review here "This is an extraordinary debut... raucous, epic and glorious." Global Domination: 9/10 - Read review here "Eight minutes after it started, you know the album has only begun and you don’t want it to end... You can expect many more great albums from this amazing young Australian group." Help spread the Be'lakor word by adding our banner to your Myspace! Just copy the code below. Our music is led by aggressive vocals and underpinned by dark, atmospheric inflections and resonant harmonies. We draw inspiration from the grandeur in nature, the ideals of paganism, and the drive to recapture true spirituality and heroism in an age of materialism and religious sterility. ----------------------- Neither Shape Nor Shadow (Live) |
