BEASTMAKER
Eye of the Storm
(CD)

Description

Now, with vocalist/guitarist Trevor William Church and bassist John Tucker putting their focus on new trad-metal kings HAUNT, BEASTMAKER have decided to bow out gracefully with the aptly titled Eye of the Storm. Originally self-released digitally as per the band’s staunchly DIY ways, Eye of the Storm is now seeing highly-demanded physical release via SHADOW KINGDOM, which is also the current label home of HAUNT. “To see the eye of the storm / I must be reborn,” Church sings on the EP’s title track, and it’s an appropriately poignant sentiment: here on Eye of the Storm do BEASTMAKER suggest where they could’ve gone with their immediately identifiable sound, and indeed is it immense and icily so.
Alas, BEASTMAKER dies so that HAUNT can live, or so it would appear. But as an epitaph for BEASTMAKER, Eye of the Storm is as powerful ‘n’ punchy as it comes. REST IN POWER!
