LIVE REVIEWS 2010
"I can't work out if there is any one inspiration here; any one band I can say 'They sound like these guys'. It's just a heady mix of all the better bits of metal's 40 years and it'll blow you to the other side of the room."
CAMDEN UNDERWORLD REVIEW - SONIC ABUSE
"The band deliver a mighty 45 minutes of heavy metal showcasing tracks from the debut album 'The Awakening'. Songs such as 'March Of The Damned' and 'Born Into Pain' have never sounded quite so good. The only venom Simon Hall has is saved is for Simon Cowell and TV talent shows along with an angry tirade against the Pope that heads nicely into the greatest track that Nevermore never wrote 'The Heretic'."
HOBO'S BRIDGEND REVIEW - UBER ROCK
"They have an intense stage presence, a huge sound and all the passion of pure traditional Heavy Metal band, that Mr Dio himself would have loved to have been in the audience for. Simon Hall is one of those vocalists who's sheer power and personality could win over any crowd, and he literally had my hair standing on end."
MAMMOTHFEST REVIEW WYLDESTONE
"Beholder are certainly too low down on the bill,
and will be hard for others to contend with"

METALHEADZ
"Nobody could of followed Beholder tonight - FACT!"
METALTALK
"Vocalist Simon Hall's ranges of nasty and almost vicious lyrics are complemented with an epic old school wail that Mr. Dickenson would be proud of."
GETREADYTOROCK
"Their set at Bloodstock was one of many highlights for that festival and they approached this with equal vigour."
KOMODO ROCK
"The humongous sound that is Beholder continued the night apace by attacking your senses as each track ripped its way out of the speakers"
