Be’lakor Shines With ‘Vessels’ (Exclusive)
Australian metal band Be’lakor have been making a name for themselves since the mid-2000’s, each of their albums drawing critical acclaim and hefty praise from the metal community. This Friday, I fully expect that tradition to continue as the band releases their fourth album Vessels, their first since 2012’s Of Breath and Bone.
The band explains, “‘Vessels’ is the product of well over a year’s hard work – without doubt, it’s the album that has challenged us the most. It’s much richer and more textured than any of our other albums. There are parts which sound like the Be’lakor that fans know, while other sections might surprise some people. Our goal was to keep the music exciting and varied, for us as much as for anyone else. Vessels is also our first concept album, which has meant that lyrically we’ve really pushed ourselves this time around.”
Having heard the album many, many times, I can assure you that this is immaculate stuff. It’s melodic death metal that embraces dynamics and takes listeners on a stunning journey. It has absolutely no problem mixing furious distortion with crystalline acoustics, all while never failing to keep a sense of wonder and beauty hoevering throughout. For those who have been wanting music that takes you through a wave of emotions, look no further.
To give you a chance to experience this for yourself, we’ve teamed up with the band to bring you an exclusive first listen to the entire album, which you can stream below. I strongly urge everyone to give it a chance as it’s simply fantastic.
Vessels can be pre-ordered either via Napalm Records or through iTunes.

Director Sébastien Vaniček has been set to helm the next Evil Dead movie, but up first from the filmmaker is the creepy crawly spider horror movie Infested. An exclusive new clip gives a discomfiting closer look at the spider terror, and it’ll make you intensely afraid of all bathroom drains and fixtures.
Infested will induce a new wave of arachnophobia this week; the spider horror film arrives on Shudder on April 26, 2024.
If you’re brave enough to face your fears, watch the new clip below to get a feel for the unrelenting wave of spiders that the characters (and the audience) will face in the film.
In the film, “An underprivileged suburb has been thrown into chaos following an invasion of venomous spiders. Ordered to be placed in quarantine, the project sees inhabitants living on lockdown alongside terrifying spiders that are becoming bigger and bigger.
“The story revolves around Kaleb, who’s about to turn 30 and has never been lonelier. He’s fighting with his sister over a matter of inheritance and has cut ties with his best friend.
“Passionate about exotic animals, he comes home one day with a venomous spider and accidentally lets it slip away.”
Théo Christine (“Suprêmes”), Finnegan Oldfield (“Final Cut”), Jérôme Niel (“Smoking Causes Coughing”), Sofia Lesaffre (“Les Misérables”) and Lisa Nyarko star.
Florent Bernard co-wrote the script.
In his review out of Fantastic Fest last year, Bloody Disgusting’s Trace Thurman raved that Infested (aka Vermines) is “one of the best spider attack movies in years,” noting in his 4-star review that the creature feature uses practical spiders – REAL SPIDERS – as much as possible. Thurman also wrote that the spider horror movie is “full of moments that will get under your skin (I kicked my legs up more than a few times in my screening).”
The spiders will be everywhere in Infested, are you ready?
