    This young four-piece metal group from England has recorded a pretty decent three-song demo. The strong point is the guitar sound, which the weak points outweigh: poor production; inconsistent vocal quality; and sometimes poor song construction. It shows some potential, because these boys go after an aggressive sound. Ian Arkley, who also handles lead vocals, and Scott Rawson pull off some screaming lead breaks and crunchin' rhythms.

    Because of England's lack of Christian metal bands, Seventh Angel could be used effectively of God. They're worth keeping an eye on musically as they hone their craft.

    "In The Name Of Christ We Rock" features some tight rhythm changes.
