An exclusive release of the The Awakening in Single Format is now available with a real treat for the true BEHOLDER fan. "Never Take Us Down" recorded live from the Main Stage at The Bloodstock Open Air Festival captures the Intensity and Passion associated with BEHOLDER's Anthem to the late Sophie Lancaster.
NEVER TAKE US (DOWN) - BEHOLDER BRING OUT CHARITY SINGLE ON WORLDWIDE RELEASE - OUT NOW!
"Never Take Us Down" featured on the Unleah The Hell EP, is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Sophie Lancaster, who was tragically killed in 2007. The track is also a testament to all those who face Prejudice, Intollerance and Hatred
just for being who they wanna be!
ALL PROCEDES are going to the Sophie Lancaster Foundation, which is an organisation lobbying for crimes such as that inflicted on Sophie to be officially classed as Hate Crimes, and in doing so working towards the eradication of Hatred & Intollerence!
To co-incide with the release of Never Take Us Down for The Sophie Lancaster Foundation, Beholder have stitched together a video for the release.
With still frames and video footage from shows, recording sessions and the obvious sentiments associated with Sophie, we hope this will be an entertaining but heartfelt offering.
GET YOUR COPY NOW AND HELP US FIGHT PREJUDICE, INTOLLERANCE AND HATERED.
