Danish
power metal band Seven Thorns records the sequel to their
highly accalaimed debut album. The 6 Danes of SEVEN
THORNS has entered Media Sound Studios, Peter Brander
(Royal Hunt, Cornerstone, Big Fat Snake) in Copenhagen once
again to create their long awaited 2nd studio album. ”The new album will be a
continuance of the first one – with a little more variation” says guitarist
Gabriel Tuxen. ”We have put a little more tempo and
technicalities into the songs” he adds.
”For
the first album (Return To The Past) we hired the fantastic
Swedish singer Erik ”EZ” Blomkvist (former Platitude). His
voice was not as high pitched as the ”common” power metal vocalists but it
really fitted our music fantasticly. Erik was never a full member of
Seven Thorns – by own choice, and it has been a wish in the
band for some time to get a singer to work with full-time – and we have found
that now in another young Swede named Gustav Blide. Erik has
been a one of the main reasons for the success we’ve had for the first album and
without him we wouldn’t have been where we are today. Gustav is
a different kind of singer – more classic power metal vocalist
– only 19 years old, but with a huge potential”, says drummer
and founder Lars Borup.
For
the new album, however, Gustav will ”only” be doing backing
vocals and chorus. To sing on the new album Seven Thorns has
been fortunate to get an icon ”from the past” – David
Henriksson from the Swedish power metal band Insania
and Heel. He was the voice on the fantastic album
”Sunrise in Riverland” from 2001 and their debut ”World
of Ice” 1999.
”Getting
David to do the vocals on the new album is simply amazing. His
voice is so fantastic. It will be a change in the vocal style, but for the songs
on the new album David’s voice will be perfect” says Mik
Holm.
The
album is expected to be finished in July and at the moment it
hasn’t got title…
