Seven Sisters move right into it with their second album. Starting off with The Premonition, things are fast, groovy, and slightly ethereal if that is the right word. The band is on form and clearly enjoying themselves. Blood and Fire starts off with an acoustic melody, before moving into full epicness, a soaring vocal line that sounds like it’s straight from Angel Witch. Once and Future King is harmonies galore, a soaring epic that will go down a treat live.
Parting The Mists starts with the guitars painting an image of the mist, the song moves into gear and creates an epic story around a solid guitar melody and some incredible vocal hooks. Turning Of The Tide is fast, epic and a song that deserves a live airing. Be sure to play this one on repeat. Oathbreaker starts slowly and thoughtfully, it quickly moves into epic territory and the album benefits from that, another gem.
A Land In Darkness carries the fast pace of the album beautifully, melodic guitar harmonies, soaring vocals and a melody that brings elements of Angel Witch to the mind once more. The Cauldron and the Cross is epic, simply epic. Big guitars, harmonies, an epic story, told across two parts, this is a song, or rather songs that deserve the superb live treatment. This one is sure to be a fan favourite.
Be sure to get this album when it is released on 13th April via Dissonance.
