Black Seven revamp full sound on new single "Driven"

A year ago the one man instrumental band Black Seven released it's very first album. Back in those days it grabbed my attention with it's unusual changes that were put at places you wouldn't expect them.

Black Seven are back with a brand new video single release.

I remember that I shared the accompanied music video on Facebook. Present day saw me looking through my mails and a nice surprise came around with a brand new single called "Driven".

Having checked it out it quickly became obvious that a lot of progress has been added to the sound of Black 7.

The new composition stays true to it's roots. The unusual changes this time are formed out of softer notes placed into the raw guitar centered music.

Guitar wizardy still holds a bold spot but can be easier followed through the main riff. The soft notes mentioned call the listener to give the new effort a second, third and maybe even more times to listen to. I think they confront the listener with so much detail to give a reason for a closer listen.

But the fine thing is that overall the music has been updated to a shorter, more trimmed to come to the point. It's sharper, shorter and easier understandable compared to the previous effort.

With so much energy being put inside of the music I'm looking forward to see how this project will go to next.

Make sure to do that, too. The many social camps set up should make it easy to follow the music at the place you prefer to do so.

EP Review: Sirius - Wings of Fire (Heavy Metal / Power Metal)

A fine EP that is a good pick to party in it's first half and much more thought out in the second. 

This band serves the power metal straight the way I like it. The opener "Wings of Fire" has a fine stomping bold midtempo rhythm and the riffs and vocals present the track as a solid start into a EP full of metal hymms. The "Shadow in my heart" builds upon a longer riff that winds through the whole track. Along with the drums this serves as a uplifting heavy rocker. The vox come down in strings that add a special note to this tune. 

Next is "The Last Angel" - it's more complex than the previous two. It's riff is changing in tonality throughout the duration. The playing around with guitar effects dominates this one. Surely one for a re-listen. The last track already follows with "The Fury Within". It's once again deeper thought-out. The vocals wear a Judas Priest touch. A cool mixture of the easier first tunes of the EP but worked out wider into it's depth. This needs time to sink in and deserves more attention but I think it's great, too.
