Album Review: Be'lakor - Vessels

As if Amon Amarth and tech death giants Revocation had a baby that was stolen at birth and raised in Australia, Be'lakor have composed one of the most captivating and grin-inducing heavy metal outputs to be released this early in the year.

With wicked riffing, dubious melodies and a few heaped handfuls of atmosphere, Vessels evokes a sense of judgment and reckoning with occasional sprinkles of breakneck speed and technicality. It put's Be'lakor on a pedestal alongside current Aussie torch holders Ne Obliviscaris. You'll need to experience the tasteful intrigue and dark allure of Vessels for yourself.
