Star Song now has Pure Metal Records, and has now acquired from England a tight mosh unit known as Seventh Angel (and there was much rejoicing!). Because of the musical style and singer Ian Arkley's gravelly delivery, comparisons to Vengeance are inevitable. But S.A. has developed a unique creativity that effectively establishes the band as one of the top heavy hitters in the Christian field. "The Torment" deals with the darker side of spiritual issues, including abortion ("Dr. Hatchet"), lusts of the flesh ("Forbidden Desires"), Satan ("The Charmer"), Christian cussing ("Expletive Deleted"), and being imprisoned for the faith ("Locked Up In Chains"). Heavy stuff musically and lyrically. "Her existence a gift by the nail-pierced hands/ the struggles never ending/ haunting her every breath/ her witness arose in a cold and desolate land/ her faith so strong defying death..." ("Katie"). There's a cool acoustic part in "Eye Of The Needle". All rockers, moshers, thrashers, and metalheads must check out Seventh Angel! This is totally SOLID!
Other coverage for this album
Dead Zine 2003Reviewed by sesspoolthis album... is thrash. a style that some may not know and to the rest, it is a vague memory of a long surpassed time. i loved that time. Seventh Angel puts punk, thrash, and dark edge all together to create an original gothic experience. while it's not the type of goth as the cure... it's a gothic feeling to a style coined by none. it is unique and it is good. the album is full of some classic…Similar sounding releases
