Description

Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

A UK band that mixes old NWOBHM sound with prog is Seven Sisters,. Their sophomore album The Cauldron And The Cross opens with The Premonition that grabs your attention with a flurry of time and style changes that not only show who their inspirational bands are. The tempo changes, transitions, and bridges are pulled off with ease and I feel edging on into prog areas. Using the talent that is obviously developing “Once And Future King” shows off their twin lead guitars with a classic opening that quickly turns into a showcase of their abilities. Well thought out chord progressions and little timing surprises kept me interested, not only through this tune, but the entire album. “Turning the Tide” gave away their top influences and even the power ballad “Oathbreaker” was enjoyable, with a very well thought out solo to elevate it. “A Land in Darkness” was I think, their entry submission to be elevated to the prog fraternity and “The Cauldron and the Cross Pt1&2” were just the icing on the cake. Showing off the guitar symbiosis of Kyle McNeill and Graeme Farmer shredding on the complex but rock-solid rhythms of drummer Steve Loftin and tied together by bassist Javi Rute in a most enjoyable way, this epic two-parter never had me looking at a clock wondering when it’s over. Heavy Metal it is, no doubt in my mind, but give them a few more years and I think they could become a band that makes that step to the area when they’re cited as a prog staple and not just another NMOBHM second wave band. The talent is there, the music composition is intelligent and very entertaining, and with a bit more experience, they will, yes I said will, be epic. Looking forward to their next endeavor!
