7 out of 10
Observation number one - visually, The Becoming could well be confused for Avenged Sevenfold. It made me chuckle.
Observation number two - they don't half sound like them too.
But there is something more accessible about The Becoming. Album opener 'Dressed in Black' sets a great tone for the debut album, which is so perfectly polished in its production that I can metaphorically see my own face in it. Taking their name from the vampire literatary term for the point at which a human becomes a vampire, the band strike an awesome pose, clad from head to toe in black, their music drenched in rich guitar tones and icy synth tones.
This is a band to watch and will appeal to the masses of teenagers looking for the next big thing - The Becoming are indeed, er, The Coming.
Stand out tunes include 'Heaven isn't so far', 'Under the full eclipse' and 'Silent as the grave'.
