A significant leap from their last effort (Black Emotions), Souls Highway showcases a band stepping away from its initial doom tendencies and finding its niche in gothic metal. While the style is very familiar in the genre, - classic Beauty and the Beast type of male/female contrast- , Beseech offer on Souls Highway a handful of melodic dark ballads fused with that melancholic touch, and manage to make their cover of ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme sound surprisingly grandiose. A pleasant and engaging listen from start to end... Recommended!

The Swedish metal scene of today is luckily a lot broader, something which may not be seen so kindly by everyone. No matter what, there are plenty of Swedish bands who have a lot to offer but still haven't been given the attention they deserve. One of those is gothic metal band Beseech, who have already released three demos and two full-length albums.
