Seven Spires - "Drowner Of Worlds" (video)
Ego ad finem
Omnia tenuit cari
Ego in finem
Ravenous beast
Is it lonesome in your depths
Apart from humanity's stench?
Has the disease of our life reached your watery bed?
As you cleanse our poison with every watery breath
What is the point?
Where is the joy?
Suspended in dreams built on sand
Still disenchanted, but out of respect
I bow to you, king of the end
And in mortal flesh and expiring lungs
And a heart that still weeps blood
I stand upon this rotting deck
Alone, contemplating the company of your depths
Ego ad finem
Omnia tenuit cari
Ego in finem
Ravenous beast
Masterless one
Why have you surfaced again?
I'm awake in a cradle of wind and stars
Exhausted and longing to drift away with you
Freedom reeks in ivory jaws
Repair the wounds time could not mend
Passionless, burnt down to marrow and bone
And specters of love to be missed
Boundless exhaustion, ambition forgotten
One single step from the Earth to transcend
Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul
Might cease to exist
Ravenous beast
Ancient guard of the northern sea
Drowner of worlds and granter of dreams
I bow before your majesty and accept my fate
For it remains as unchanging as your rule
The stars and the sea and the rain are all gone
The void reveals itself to me
Am I in the belly of the beast or is the beast in me?
The sleep I longed for takes me, and I dream
One single step from the Earth to transcend
Out of this rotten cage, so the needs of my soul
Might cease to exist

Οι Seven Spires μας έρχονται από την Μασαχουσέτη. Δημιουργήθηκαν προ εξαετίας και χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους ως "theatrical metal" στο ύφος των Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica.
Το 2014 κυκλοφόρησαν το ep "The Cabaret of Dreams" και πρόπερσι "έβγαλαν" τον πρώτο "ολοκληρωμένο" τους δίσκο υπό τον τίτλο "Solveig", το οποίο ήταν concept - "δίπρακτο" album.
Ο δεύτερος δίσκος τους είναι προ των πυλών. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Emerald Seas" κι αναμένεται τον επόμενο μήνα. Για την ακρίβεια, του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου!
Δελτίο τύπου: «Seven Spires is an American metal quartet who enjoy drawing from across the spectrum of metal and beyond to tell their tales of demons, death, love, and the peculiarities of the human condition.
The band’s sophomore album, “Emerald Seas," is a highly emotional, dark, and theatrical epic. The band, as with their debut, collaborated with Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica, etc), who mixed and mastered the album.
Incidentally, Adrienne Cowan was handpicked by Paeth to front his new band, Sascha Paeth’s Masters of Ceremony and she is also one of the touring vocalists for the hugely popular Avantasia.
Seven Spires met while studying at the world renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, so we need not spend much time going on about their musical capabilities, but needless to say, the band’s musicianship is in keeping with the metal tradition of tirelessly working to be the best at your craft.
Singer Adrienne Cowan is a true talent, with vocals ranging from the beautiful to the demonic, while her bandmates Jack Kosto (guitar), Peter de Reyna (bass), and Chris Dovas (drums) weave intricate musical tales to accompany the lyrical tales presented here.
Seven Spires continue Frontiers' tradition of identifying and signing the most promising young talents to ensure that the future of hard rock and metal music is in good hands.»
Seven Spires: «Musically, “Emerald Seas” is influenced by our usual mix of melodic and extreme metal favorites and Hans Zimmer worship. We immersed ourselves deeply in 19th Century Romantic music and art while writing this record, and I like to think some traits from that era are present as a result. It's highly emotional; sweet and melodic at times, and quite dark and brutal at others, especially when dealing with themes like losing one's fear of death.»
Adrienne Cowan: «‘Succumb’ was written in the heart of Boston while we were still attending Berklee. As many of our songs do, it began as vocals and piano, and then we fleshed out the rest of the arrangement together. I suppose everyone has their own experiences and hopefully will interpret the lyrics to the song in their own way, but in the story of “Emerald Seas”, the main character has departed on their long journey and is indulging in memories of someone quite special instead of focusing on their quest. It's a bittersweet one... but aren't they all? :)»
