MELODIC METAL



DELAIN – Queen Of Shadow (Official Video) | Napalm Records



New Album, Dark Waters, Out Now!

Keyboardist, founder and main songwriter Martijn Westerholt on “Queen of Shadow”:
“’Queen of Shadow’ is a classic example of pure DELAIN-style. Musically it has some really awesome things going on such as harmonic guitars and catchy melodies which are complemented by both the alluring and powerhouse vocals of Diana and our guest singer Paolo.”

In 2022, metal greats DELAIN broke new ground by announcing their new studio album, Dark Waters. With this astonishing piece of art, the chart-breaking outfit sets the stage for the next era, while still sticking to their unique sound that fans and critics alike love – catchy, bombastic tunes full of contrasts and the highest standard of orchestral arrangements.

Fuelled by massive support and enthusiasm all around the globe, songs like their first standalone single “The Quest and The Curse” and recently released “Beneath” lure with a bombastic sound that skillfully combines orchestral melodies, epic heavy riffs and marvelous vocal performances. DELAIN magnificently manages to never lose touch with their characteristic sound, making them a constant without ever standing still. Pop-induced opening track “Hideaway Paradise” shows exactly that by inducing a dream-like feeling flirting with melodic metal guitars, while the ballad-like dark track “Mirror of Night”, featuring Within Temptation guitarist Ruud Jolie, entices the listener with unfathomably catchy lines and melodies. “Tainted Hearts” is centered around Westerholt’s keyboard arrangements, which skillfully showcase the creative roots of the mastermind. “Invictus” is nothing less than the Magnum Opus of the album – a rock opera in its own right with heavy riffing, choirs and vocal parts performed by Diana Leah, Paolo Ribaldini and Marko Hietala (ex-Nightwish), ending in a bombastic climax where everything comes together.

Lyrics:

NOTHING NOTHING

See the pain in front of you
Close the curtains
Change the channel
Fear of failure binding you
Build your walls

Maybe I lack the will to act
Despite the fact that
I’ve been attacked
How much more do I have to do for you
Because isn’t that enough that I make it through

Watching and waiting
Now I’m busy doing nothing
The rain evades me
Now I’m busy doing nothing
If I keep waiting for the easy way
What do you think I’ll do now

NOTHING NOTHING

See the pain in front of you
Close the curtains change the channel
Sweet embrace of apathy
Take me away

I feel no remorse
This is just who I am
Guilt keeps you on the course
I got no
Use for that

Watching and waiting
Now I’m busy doing nothing
The rain evades me
Now I’m busy doing nothing
If I keep waiting for the easy way
What do you think I’ll do now

NOTHING NOTHING
What do you think I’ll do now
NOTHING NOTHING
NOTHING NOTHING
NOTHING NOTHING
What do you think I’ll do now

Watching and waiting
The rain evades me
Now I’m busy doing nothing
If I keep waiting for the easy way
What do you think I’ll do now

Watching and waiting
If I keep waiting for an easy way
What do you think I’ll do now
What do you think I’ll do now
What do you think I’ll do
Now

Seven Spires – “Gods Of Debauchery” – Official Music Video



From the album GODS OF DEBAUCHERY. Buy or Stream: https://orcd.co/godsofdebauchery | Watch more Seven Spires videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1k4D8QfUBtV9Zo6uUWXyrQOEjb-17WL5 | Subscribe To Our Channel: http://radi.al/SubscribeFrontiers

Coming off their critically praised sophomore album, “Emerald Seas”, Seven Spires are set to return with their third, and by far, most ambitious album to date, “Gods Of Debauchery” on September 10, 2021.

“Gods Of Debauchery” offers an incredible feast of music styles within the broad tent of heavy metal. From symphonic to progressive to black to death metal influences, coupled with emotional ballads, this record is an exquisite sonic and lyrical journey for the discerning metalhead. This band is the present and the future of the genre and continue Frontiers’ tradition of identifying and signing the most promising young talents.

“There is a ton of influence from video games, films, and TV soundtracks such as Skyrim, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Lucifer, Pirates of the Caribbean, Marvel films, and many more, plus our love for classic Kamelot, Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Late Romantic Classical Music. The most important part of making art is staying true to yourself, and we unapologetically did exactly that, which meant exploring every corner of what we love about music, and constantly pushing the technical limits of our own musicianship,” the band says about the making of “Gods Of Debauchery”.

After the release of “Emerald Seas” in February of 2020, the band had multiple amazing support slots lined up to promote the record on the road. They were geared up and in fighting form, ready to bring their music to the masses and show the world what they are all about. Plans were quickly changed weeks after the album’ release due to the coronavirus pandemic though and soon it became obvious that touring would be ground to a halt for a while. So, the band took the opportunity to commence work on their follow-up album, which wound up becoming the mammoth 70+ minute masterpiece that is “Gods Of Debauchery”. This album, epic in scope and reach, shows progression well beyond their years.

Seven Spires, an American metal quartet, specializes in melancholic tales and tenebrous grandeur. Part bittersweet melodic metal anthems, part apocalyptic melodic death and black metal, and part Classical Romanticists, they are storytellers who draw from across the traditional spectrum of metal and beyond to weave tragedies of demons, death, love, and the peculiarities of human condition.

The band met while studying at the world renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, so their musicianship is in keeping with the metal tradition of maintaining a tireless work ethic to be the best at your craft. Following a highly successful crowdfunding campaign and release of their debut album “Solveig” (2017), Seven Spires performed extensively in the US, Canada, and at festivals such as MetalDays, 70,000 Tons of Metal, and ProgPower USA. That success combined with their stunning musicianship and songs, prompted Frontiers to sign the band to their rapidly expanding metal roster. The band’s sophomore album, “Emerald Seas” (2020) was a highly emotional, dark, and theatrical release. The band, as with their debut, collaborated with Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica, etc), who mixed and mastered the album. Incidentally, Adrienne Cowan was handpicked by Paeth to front his new band, Sascha Paeth’s Masters of Ceremony and she was also chosen as one of the touring vocalists for the hugely popular Avantasia project.

Lyrics:

Leaving the family behind
Embracing the unknown, while waving goodbye

Carrying the hope and stays in line
The weight of a nation on a shoulder sign

Protectors of the world
Protectors of life
Paying the ultimate price

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
True freedom warriors
Fighters for real

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
Fighting for deliverance
Armor made of steel

Standing tall in the pouring rain
Another fighter, never to blame

The shining light streams through the core
With a passion like never before

On a mission to find
An open corridor and reach for the sky

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
True freedom warriors
Fighters for real

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
Fighting for deliverance
Armor made of steel

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
True freedom warriors
Fighters for real

Peacekeepers
Keepers of peace
Fighting for deliverance
Armor made of steel
Armor made of steel
Peacekeepers
