Long is the path to desolation and enlightement. And lo! How much distance was covered by
Swiss metallers PATH OF DESOLATION since their 2014 EP. In but two years, the band has
found a strong identity and rare maturity for such a young act. Their first album ‘Where the Grass
Withers’ is proof enough of that quick evolution. Sharp riffs, melancholic melodies and powerful
vocals, all branded by that Swiss savoir-faire, is the trademark behind these eleven gems of
melodic death metal, evoking at times Dark Tranquility, In Flames or Insomnium.
Conceptually, ‘Where the Grass Withers’ takes its listener into a downward journey through the
breathtaking landscapes of the Swiss Alps (Isenau) and Northern England (85 Miles), the dream-
like meadows of insomnia (To Pastures Grey) and an impressionist picture of depression
(Saeclum in Favilla, Colourblind, Exit Nightmares).
PATH OF DESOLATION’s first album was recorded and mixed by Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling,
Lethe, ex-Eluveitie) at Soundfarm Studios, Switzerland, providing a powerful yet organic sound,
far from triggered cliché productions. Travis Smith’s artwork (Opeth, Katatonia, Devin Townsend,
etc.) perfectly embodies the vision behind the lyrics, giving shape to ‘Where the Grass Withers’
main character: Insomnia.

Long est le chemin vers la ruine et la révélation. Et pourtant! Quelle distance a été parcourue par
les Suisses de PATH OF DESOLATION depuis la sortie de leur premier EP, en 2014. En à peine
deux ans, le groupe s'est construit une idendité forte, atteignant une rare maturité pour un si jeune
groupe. Leur premier album, 'Where the Grass Withers', est la preuve tangible de cette évolution
rapide. Riffs tranchants, mélodies mélancoliques et vocaux puissants, réalisés avec une précision
toute helvétique, constituent la marque de fabrique de ces onze nouvelles compositions
évoquant, tour à tour, Dark Tranquility, In Flames ou Insomnium.
Le concept qui sous-tend ‘Where the Grass Withers’ emmène l'auditeur des sommets
dramatiques des Alpes suisses (Isenau) aux landes pluvieuses du nord de l'Angleterre (85 Miles),
pour mieux l'entraîner vers les pâturages cauchemardesques de l'insomnie (To Pastures Grey) ou
au coeur d'un tableau impressioniste de la dépression (Saeclum In Favilla, Colourblind, Exit
Nightmares).
Le premier album de PATH OF DESOLATION a été enregistré et mixé par Anna Murphy (Cellar
Darling, Lethe, ex-Eluveitie) aux Soundfarm Studios, en Suisse, pour un résultat puissant mais
totalement organique, loin des productions bourrées de clichés et de triggers. Le graphisme de
Travis Smith (Opeth, Katatonia, Devin Townsend, etc.) donne parfaitement corps aux textes,
offrant un visage au personnage principal de ‘Where the Grass Withers’: l'insomnie.

A dark, melodic death metal band from Melbourne, Be’lakor has quickly come to be regarded as one of Australia’s most promising and creative metal acts. The band’s international reputation has grown rapidly since the release of their 2007 debut, “The Frail Tide,” its 2009 follow-up, “Stone’s Reach” and "Of Breath and Bone", which is set for worldwide release on 1 June 2012. Drawing inspiration from the perpetual struggle between destruction and life, Be’lakor creates songs that take the listener on a compelling journey.
