Sweden´s pioneers of gothic metal Beseech are back
Beseech unveils their third new single Hesitation from their upcoming new album, to be released later this year.
Emerging from Borås, Sweden in the early 1990s, Beseech has earned a devoted following as one of Scandinavia’s most evocative gothic metal bands. Blending dark romanticism, doomy atmospheres, and unforgettable melodies, Beseech built a reputation for haunting yet accessible music that resonates with fans of gothic, doom, and melodic metal alike.
The band’s journey began with their 1995 demo Tears, leading to their critically acclaimed debut album ...From a Bleeding Heart (1998). They continued to develop their signature sound with Black Emotions (2000) and the beloved Souls Highway (2002), which featured the iconic vocal interplay of Erik Molarin and Lotta Höglin — a duo whose contrasting voices became a defining element of Beseech’s identity.The band’s evolution continued with Drama (2004) and Sunless Days (2005), expanding their sonic palette while maintaining the melancholic beauty fans had come to love.
After years of touring and recording, Beseech disbanded in 2006, leaving behind a legacy of timeless gothic anthems. A decade later, the silence was broken with My Darkness, Darkness (2016) — a powerful testament to the band’s enduring spirit and their ability to craft new stories from the shadows.Now, Beseech rises once more, bringing back Erik and Lotta — the most iconic vocal pairing in the band’s history. Their reunion signals a return to the lush harmonies and dark atmospheres that fans remember, while pushing Beseech’s sound into new, uncharted territory. From mournful ballads to heavy, brooding riffs, Beseech continues to walk the twilight path between beauty and despair.
Their new album is to be released later this year via Despotz Records.
Lyrics:
Never gonna lie again,
Never gonna give in to the unpleasant and neverending compulsion.
I feel it exploding.
Never gonna fall again,
Never gonna fall down on to the ground in forgiveness and beg for salvation
And all that it triggers
As we see the future, dark as midnight sky
As we lose our hope and see how time passes by
Will you give me words to explain what I see in us
How our souls intertwine to a path to the other world
Always holding on to you
Always holding on to the entity leading me into the tunnel
On my way towards light
Always willing to embrace
Always willing to change my point of view to reach my damnation
There is no sane way
