Believer
Sanity Obscure
R.E.X./R/C, 1990

Speed metal with the intensity of attack common to death metal, Believer's sound is inspired by early Voivod, Kreator, and Destruction. Razor-sharp in its precision and intelligent in its compositional structure, the music ranges from traditional speed metal workouts to progressive explorations in tech-metal. "Dies Irae" combines speed metal and orchestral music to create dramatic moods, and the band covers U2's "Like A Song" in the speed metal tradition to positive result.

Believer
Dimensions
Roadrunner,1993

Delving into the avante garde, Believer's third and final album starts from a speed metal foundation, then branches out into progressive structures, bizarre soundscapes, and a three-part epic fusing metal and classical orchestration with female operatic singing. Excellent use of violin throughout this piece, as well as in "Dementia", where a beautiful guitar-violin arrangement carries the song to realms of musical bliss. Strange and beautiful, Dimensions is an intelligent work offering some truly fine music.
