Description

‘The 7th Seal’ is Death SS seventh full-length album in 30 years time (the band started in 1977 already). During all these years only bandleader Steve Sylvester has been the constant factor within Death SS. The band have gone through some musical changes during the years and this latest version of horror metal are a step forward from the later albums but not as glorious as the early material. Steve and his partners nowadays sounds like Rob Zombie or a goth version of Marilyn Manson. The album opens up with ‘Give em Hell’, a track that has been adopted by the Italian Wresting Association as their theme song. The album is full of varying genre styles and influences throughout which make this album an extremely likeable one. Listen to the heavy tones on ‘S.I.A.G.F.O.M.’, (which stands for ‘Satan Is A Good Friend Of Mine’) or the epic ‘The 7th Seal’, a track that delves into the power metal and classic rock genres on one song. What with its rampaging guitars and choral backing vocals mixed with the early Sabbath bass lines, make this an outstanding piece of musical theatrics. Check this album out and give it the time to grow on you and you’ll might come in for a nice surprise
