Change is often painful. Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut Anhedonia, Finnish progressive post-metal band Besra has been looking for ways to shed their skin.
Born from the vision of guitarist Johannes Nygård (Callisto), the group's music has always defied easy categorisation. Now, after a long writing and recording process, they're ready to unleash their bold second album Transitions – a work that solidifies their status as an inventive and original voice.
To release the record and reach a wider audience, Besra is looking for a new record label.

Transitions is arranged to be listened in its entirety – but we know you are busy. To get a feel for our sound, we suggest you give the following tracks a spin: Sentinels, Prison Without Locks, Valor.

Words and visuals
“Details about the new record are yet to be released, but who cares when this live-in-the-studio rips this hard?”
Live at Rødhouse Studio @ Decibel Magazine
“Besra marry the elasticity of Burst with the ter-riff-icness of Pelican, the battering acrimony of Cult of Luna, and the dreamier pastures of Isis the band, resulting in progressive, forward thinking metal guaranteed to knock you on your ass!"
Anhedonia @ MetalSucks.net
“Showing some of the discordant direction seen in Amenra with the epic fury of Neurosis, moving into the the light and shade with dramatic effect. It's muscular, emotional and just plain excellent.”
Anhedonia @ Revolver Mag
