THE BEHOLDER [NEW ALBUM OUT NOW/TOUR DATES UP]

FUCK THE STATUS QUO

About Me


With a onslaught of pulverizing drum work, face melting guitar parts, chunky bass lines and dueling guttural vocals straight from hell, THE BEHOLDER is everything that a deathgrind band should be and more.
THE BEHOLDER attempts to step it up a notch musically, drawing influences from bands such as Dying Fetus, Circle Of Dead Children, Misery Index and Skinless. Lyrically, they write about subjects such as religion, government, veganism/vegitarianism and the environment as well as other controversial issues that plague the world of today.
Started in March 2006, THE BEHOLDER has experienced many line-up changes since that time. The band is currently a six piece act featuring Zach Mandli and Chris Jones on vocals, Brandon Gallimore on bass, Doug Dobert and Andy Brooks on guitar and Phil Feinstein on drums. The members each hail from different areas of southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois, bringing many different styles and ideas to create their unique and individual sound.
At this time, THE BEHOLDER has self-released two albums and a sampler cd. Also, they have completed three tours of the midwest, south and southeast, playing in over thirteen states. They have shared the stage with such nationally recognized acts as Veil Of Maya, Skeletonwitch, Fuck...I'm Dead, Whitechapel, Elysia, Putrid Pile, Emmure, Fordirelifesake and Circle of Dead Children.
Earning quite a reputation for themselves, THE BEHOLDER has become a tightly organized war machine that is ready to continously release new and better music, tour the rest of the USA and eventually take the underground metal scene by storm.
