i finally got to see Bellow (former members of the also excellent Toil) play a show in Chicago. I feel like i should mention that i've been skeptical of keyboards in the past (maybe it was childhood piano lessons that were forced on me) but my mind was totally changed last night. If you haven't seen Bellow, you're going to want to figure it out because they seriously rule. The band is filled out with TWO keyboards, bassist, guitarist, drummer and an epic as fuck vocalist. (Not that this would ever be important to anyone else but i also especially like how symmetrical they are when they set up.) Each member of Bellow has tons of energy and stage presence and totally gets into the music they are playing. It's an excellent show to see live and maybe its the keyboard riffing, but this shit gets stuck in my head really easily. If your looking for fast and hard its not here. Bellow is peddling atmospheric, melodic, doomy, and a little dark metal music of an excellent quality. Seriously. So good. So brutal.
