The
Germans should be proud of their metal scene. From Rebellion to Sieges
Even, and from Sacred Steel to Running Wild this country seems to be
having one of the best metal scenes in the world. And
with 7 Seals there’s a new great band from As
with most power metal, epic and memorable choruses are a big part of
this band’s sound. These are actually some of the catchiest choruses I
have ever heard. They
manage to keep things heavy, and the choruses while catchy, definitely
isn’t what I would consider cheesy. What makes this album work is an
outstanding combination of heaviness and melody. Personally I thought
that the fastest material had the biggest impact, it sounds like a
hybrid of Morifade and Blind Guardian. The
best thing on ”Mooncurse” is the co-operation between the two
singers Hilke Saathoff and Markus Wagner, they
just sound awesome together. Great album, I’m looking forward to the
first full length from 7 Seals. Recommended tracks: “The Necromancer” & “Prophecies of Nostradamus”. |
