Reviews

'...metal played as it was always meant to be...the music is all about gigantic riffs and roaring hooks….somewhere between the simple thrills of prime Skid Row and the more corrosive attitude-laden abuse of Slipknot or Machine Head...'

KKKK, Kerrang! Magazine


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


UK metallers square up to the Americans

With influences ranging from Slipknot to Unearth, Manchester's sevenyearsdead don't pull any punches when it comes to being commercially viable. That they succeed where others fail is thanks to the strong songwriting and clear production on 'To The Ruin of All' - the band's debut release. Initially the overriding influence seems to be American tech-metallers Nevermore, but it's on further listens that the subtle nuances and influences come to the fore, whether through the Machine Head-meets-Pantera-styled brutality of 'Juggernaut' to the Alice in Chains-influenced 'Chosen'. Sevenyearsdead have proved that they have both the songs and delivery to stand against any American act, and this is a strong beginning for a promising band.

7/10, Metal Hammer


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'…amazing debut from a band who knows that they've truly got it right… powerhouse drumming, thunderous bass, the most wondrous crushing metal and thickly dripping guitar riffing… choruses to die for, harmony vocals that shatter your emotions… destined to storm the rock dance-floors and discos of this land like a plague… this is an outstanding debut …'

Dead Earnest


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'…massively enjoyable…this is metal, confident, without pretension and deftly handled - this is power metal, solid, heavy and all encompassing…shit, this is war metal…'

Mark Cooper, Glasswerk


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'…Constantly catchy, tempting harmonies and driving riffs from one of the finest groove metal bands on the scene today. This is one of the finest album's to grace any collection…'

4.5/5, Deathdoom Productions


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'…a sea of riffs and impressive melodic vocals, 'To the ruin of all' is an adrenaline filled album that not only satisfies a current thirst for quality British metal, but could also help push sevenyearsdead into one hell of a future…'

7.5/10, The Rock Matrix


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'…the album displays modern metal with crushing and groovy riffs, emotive harmonies and a great lead singer...'

89/100, Concrete Web

(EP)
This Dying Hour - Longest Memory From The Shortest Life
Engineered, Produced & Mastered

Reviews

'When a posse of talented and diverse young men muck together to produce an EP as Solid and musically orgasmic as these folks have, most other up and coming acts don't have a cat in hell's chance of breaking through to the masses. Granted, some may claim boasting three guitarists is just showing off, but when that trio unite to create a bone-crunching force of a sound, the bonfire is well and truely pissed on. The melodic vocals are sung with passion and an apt ability, and the sheer range in style is fitting and impressive. Bursting at the seams with surprises and brilliance, this debut is nothing short of a sensation.'

8/10 Rocks Sound Magazine


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



"Powerhouse metal with a penchanchant for Lamb of God flavoured riffs."
Top 20 Tracks To Download: No.7 Wycombe.

Total Guitar Magazine


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



'...an impressive range of sounds and textures on display, and they're actually balancing and working together within the context of the songs as opposed to being jammed together like mismatched musical sardines. Metronomic double kick drums underpin thrashy muted chord work and subtle fingertapping passages; shouts and screams that wouldn't be out of place in hardcore (especially when combined with the brutal grooves of the bottom end) are played off against clean sung vocals from a distinctive voice; delicate little intros and incidental parts; riffs and clichés from the last few decades of metal re-engineered and reclaimed, made new again. There's even some piano in there, believe it or not.'

'crammed full of powerful, chunky metal that is at times crushingly heavy, but also has softer, more melodic moments to keep things interesting and varied throughout.'

'Fusing Kyuss slab heavy riffing, Tools transcendental moments and even a sense of Soundgardens Melancholy, Sakurai deal in a blunt style of heavy metal, the riff is king and the pace is snail-slow...High praise indeed!'

'The production is pretty solid, especially the bass which comes through very nicely. The guitar also has a nice chunky sound to it. If you're a Bay Area freak like me then this will be just the tonic for you. I found it quite delicious.'

'No, this isn’t a Lamb of God tribute band, it’s actually the first album from their British equivalent! ‘Closer to God’ has a solid sound with its high-paced crushing guitars and tight blast beats!'

7/10 - Terrorizer Magazine


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'Classic mayhemic thrashing drums, buzzing whining guitars, guttural growler of a vocalist. Demonbreed deliver it with an intense dark stomp, they have an edge that marks them out as a cut above the others…Seriously dark thrash intense heavy metal violence, nice one-recommended'

Organ Magazine


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


'This is the sort of metal that will have you sticking your head into the stack to suffer even more pain, and grinning when your ears start to bleed'

'Cancer return to the scene with enough venom to strike you down, still with that solid bone shaking sound but with innovation and melodic overlay that stamps their unique vibe deep into your quivering flesh, and with nine rocking squealing guitar driven metal tunes of incredible memorable power get out your air guitars and grease your necks for 40 minutes of solid head banging, Cancer is back and the relapse is total.'
