The Beholder was a deathgrind band from Wisconsin. An onslaught of pulverizing drums, chunky bass lines and guttural vocals coming from 2 vocalist! these guys are exactly what deathgrind should be.
Started in 2006 they put out 3 releases. Conform.Consume.Collapse, Submitting To The Masses Demo & Submitting To The Masses full length filled with angry, political topics. This re-release will see the whole discography that’s titled “American Scourge: A Thompson Fuelled Compilation”. We also added a super rare version of their song “Conquering The Vanquished” which was on a sampler I own and realized it was a totally different recording!
If you’re familiar with their artwork, it’s got a person with a pigs face on it, so Keith and I decided to play with that idea. Kept the pigs as a theme as well as the colour scheme. What Keith came up with is one of my favourite layouts. I love everything about it.
