BEASTMAKER – eye of the storm – YELLOW MLP

Doom Metal – Yellow Transparent With Black Blob version – Shadow Kingdom Records

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.
