The band Seven from Illinois has recorded a new album called “Cymatics,” and I was very pleased to find, after listening to it on Amazon, that I like the album as much as I did Sun 0)))’s album of the same name.
This album and Seven’s overall sound is both very different from and yet does have similarities to the album “Cymatics” recorded by Sun 0))) last year about this time.
There is definitely a metal edge (or maybe that’s a metal base) to Seven’s tracks, and a trance metal quality pervades; but unlike true trance metal, Seven incorporates full lyrics prominently. There is a definite “Tool” sound coming through in the vocals and song structure, but for me that only enhances the appeal.
