I
remember I first got in contact with Bejelit back in
2000. Back then, they had released their latest demo CD. After
that, they released another mini CD, their debut album, and
now their sophomore one with the title "Age of Wars"
which was released a few days ago through Old Ones Records.
The
band included ten tracks in this album and more than forty
five minutes of pure classic heavy metal. Bejelit had
written my favorite track so far which is "Bones and
Evil". I had heard it in their demo and from then
I realized that it would be their hit. I don't know if actually
this is their hit, but it is a hit in my heart. I really adore
this track even if it is with their previous singer. In their
newest album the band changed their singer and now Tiberio
is the replacement.
To
be honest with you I haven't gotten used to hearing the voice
of Tiberio yet. I have only listened three times the
new album from Bejelit, but from the things I've heard
I've realized that Tiberio's voice is really powerful
and has improved the songs a little bit. And finally, he gives
more than 100% of his abilities to the songs.
The
compositions of Bejelit are well written and they have
some very impressive ideas but in the same time some typical
elements too. Don't forget that here we have a heavy metal
album and let's say that we expect to hear some typical elements
too.
Definitely
we want to hear the personal sound of the band and Bejelit
added their personal sound inside their stuff. Last but
not least the band had made a step forward and they released
this album through their own label. I hope everything goes
well with this project.
