Stormzone 'Seven Sins' - The Stories Behind The
Songs
Out today, 3rd August via Metal Nations Records, Seven Sins is the fifth album from Northern Ireland’s Stormzone; featuring 12 brand new studio tracks sure to please fans of classic heavy metal having already went down a storm with the hard rock and metal media over the past couple of months.
"...in 'Seven Sins' Stormzone have produced an album of ambition, scope and depth and one which shows a band mature enough to take on new challenges with aplomb and confidence."
Planet Mosh
'...a monster of an album has been unearthed here, which deserves to be on the frontline of the metal revolution."
My Global Mind
"...this is a major contender of the most enjoyable album of the year in this sub-genre."
Ave Noctum
"...heavy metal as it should be, intelligent, loud, proud and ripe for multiple listens!"
Devils Gate Media
A concept album, Seven Sins is undoubtedly the band's most daring to date with a story revolving around the illustrious Dr Dealer, a character that singer and lyricist John 'Harv' Harbinson has brought to life under various guises already through the Stormzone back catalogue.
Set in the 18th century, the album tells the story of the mysterious Dr Dealer, his travelling troupe of various gifted misfits and the Seven Sins Emporium into which he invites men to test their resolve and strength. “It's hard to describe Seven Sins in one paragraph…" says Harv. "The story-line is so complex. It's a very dark subject. It’s touch and go at times with regards to how far you can go with it, but at the end of it all there's hope.”
On the twelve days leading to the release of the album, the band unveiled a series of videos, one per day, expanding on the story behind each song. Harv commented, "The Seven Sins storyline is a little darker, deeper and more extensive than can be portrayed in full within the lyrics of the songs on the album. So in an effort to do the whole adventure further justice and, at the same time, hopefully give people a chance to get to know the interesting characters involved, we have created a series of atmospheric track-by-track videos, one for each song, that allow you to delve deeper into what the Seven Sins theme is all about."
