Emerging from Borås, Sweden in the early 1990s, Beseech has earned a devoted following as one of Scandinavia’s most evocative gothic metal bands. Blending dark romanticism, doomy atmospheres, and unforgettable melodies, Beseech built a reputation for haunting yet accessible music that resonates with fans of gothic, doom, and melodic metal alike.
The band’s journey began with their 1995 demo Tears, leading to their critically acclaimed debut album ...From a Bleeding Heart (1998). They continued to develop their signature sound with Black Emotions (2000) and the beloved Souls Highway (2002), which featured the iconic vocal interplay of Erik Molarin and Lotta Höglin — a duo whose contrasting voices became a defining element of Beseech’s identity. The band’s evolution continued with Drama (2004) and Sunless Days (2005), expanding their sonic palette while maintaining the melancholic beauty fans had come to love.
After years of touring and recording, Beseech disbanded in 2006, leaving behind a legacy of timeless gothic anthems. A decade later, the silence was broken with My Darkness, Darkness (2016) — a powerful testament to the band’s enduring spirit and their ability to craft new stories from the shadows. Now, Beseech rises once more, bringing back Erik and Lotta — the most iconic vocal pairing in the band’s history. Their reunion signals a return to the lush harmonies and dark atmospheres that fans remember, while pushing Beseech’s sound into new, uncharted territory. From mournful ballads to heavy, brooding riffs, Beseech continues to walk the twilight path between beauty and despair.
About their new single the band had this to say:
"With ”End This” Beseech shows that the melodies and atmosphere still is in the center of attention. A song that puts a light on the anxiety of losing what’s important."
Expect great symphonic sounds, vocals that are at the top of their possibilities. A haunting vibe, a melancholic touch and a bit of headbanging. I’m sure it will be a great track to end a gig with and maybe this one is even the last track on the album? Anyway: it makes me long to get the new album faster then August!
Their new album "Future. Present. Past" is to be released 28th of August, 2026 via Despotz Records.
