“This is the band’s first full length release and damn fine it is too. The band are a tight unit which when playing this particular branch of metal is essential as every track contains a huge array of tempo and key changes all played at a fairly ferocious pace. The vocals of frontman Paschalis Theotokis are of the gutteral grunt variety, but he also slips in a bit of singing as well on occasion which works well with the style of music on show. The standout tracks for me are <Exhaling Perfection> and <Sober> both of which demonstrate the bands ability to deliver complex rhythms and signature changes galore, but still keep the melody recognizable. If you like your metal with a hard, technical delivery then this is one to check out. A good first album and a name to watch in the future. [Score: 4/5]”

— David Wilson, Get Ready To Rock! [UK]

“After their 2008 EP, they strike back with a full length album. "Tyrant's tirade" or "Sober" bring classic and groovy metal with no detours or copying and with the technical skills never insulting the international standards. The fine percussion work of drummer Kostis Tatsis and the clean vocals are reminiscent of earlier Trivium and provide a cozy and good outcome for enjoyable listening and dynamics during the ten and a half songs. Hymnal choruses "Cyanide Blood" have being assembled by apprenticeship as well as the core-heavy transitions of "Done Unto Me". Adam Dutkiewicz and Robb Flynn have swept their working rooms, and the four men (Bewized) with P. Theotokis being their frontman, can set a solid ground basis on metal again thoroughly. [Score: 6 Punkte]”

— Moppi, Allschools Network [DE]

“It is said that Bewized forged its own sound, taking influence from “...the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal..Sound nice on paper, doesn't it? But do Bewized also deliver? Hell yeah they do! Upon a basis of steady and pounding bass and drums, the intertwining lead and rhythm guitars shred through the whole with an appalling melodic..On top of it all come the versatile vocals (although a kind of barfed aggressive one is used mainly, there's also cleaner passages, and even a whispered one)...with interesting lyrics to boot..A combination of all making for a hugely appreciable and enjoyable album, which crept its way into my year-lists even before I'd finished first listening session. [Score: 98/100]”

— Tony, Concrete Web Reviews [BE]

“Greek Metalcore outfit Bewized power their way through the metal underground in Thessaloniki to raise fists high as their awaited debut album 'The Scorch Of Rage' gets the green light for a 2011 release date, featuring what is potentially a contender in the European Metalcore scene, ignoring the mass commercialised American Metalcore scene, Bewized are one of Greece's latest promising acts to take forward the Greek Metal scene into global recognition, sounding similar to the newer Bring Me The Horizon but with Death Metal influences in the form of The Dead Lay Waiting, Bewized are ready to conquer, amaze, daze and rephrase 'The Scorch Of Rage'. [Score: 9/10]”

— Rhys Stevenson, The Wretched Spawn / Terrorizer [UK]

“I got a line from this band and was über-positively surprised by what they have on display! Found a video, directed by Bob Katsionis, for a song called Laceration of Innocence, which is from that album. Crunching riffs, runs and grooves. Some melodic leads too, but mostly the solid, hard stuff. The hard and thumping stuff, with a good solo and a short mellow part following it. A slow breakdown too. In fact, it might give you some hints of Metalcore – in fact the band stick that label on it too – but don’t be fooled. This is quality material!”

— Niek Elferink, deathmetalbaboon.com [NL]

“Bewized, followers of the metal/hardcore genre, influenced by acts such as Pantera, Machine head etc, deliver a work with a well focused music acquaintance. I've never heard of them before but they managed to draw my attention with their effort. Tighter than they should be while bearing a considerable skill, they'll surely leave you with a good impression.”

— Hellenic Assault, Metal Hammer [GR]

Questions

Ask Bewized anything...

Q: So what's happening in metal land???

A: Have you ever heard of these bands: Firewind, Rotting Christ and Septic Flesh? Then you can get the big picture of what metal from Greece can bring to life. Nevertheless, such names run their course abroad, thus you may heard of them before. But, for the rest of the guys that still carry the metal tag with honor, i could positively relate them to young and full of energy youth that want their music to be heard. Bewized belong to this category.
