Seven Witches - Deadly Sins

[sixxswine]

I got a link from the band's label for a stream of the album about three weeks ago and I just listened to the album today...
This has to be one the most genric things I have heard this year...

not sure what you mean with generic, but I guess it will be like all the 7 Witches albums : 1 or 2 good songs and the rest very mediocre material... Is Rivera still on vocals? I just hope the new Helstar stuff will rise far above his work with 7 witches...

The only 7 Witches cd I own is Passage to the Other Sides, and it's one of the most unremarkable cds I've ever heard.

From what I have heard since that album, keep it at that...

Agreed. Good musicianship and all, but it leaves a lot to be desired. The did a really cool cover of Pounding Metal from Exciter.

You mean you have been able to find 1-2 good songs on albums after Rivera left?! I can't find 1-2 good riffs on this new album...

No, haven't heard any 7 Witches songs after Rivera left, and I guess I need to keep it that way ...

 

[Psychonaut]

I have one album by them (don't even remember which) and not one song on it stuck with me. I found it very boring.

 

[Platinum Maze]

...from what I've heard from them, and seen live (opening for SymX), I'd say generic is the perfect term for this band. Nothing new going on here, and yes, quite boring.

Funny...because Jack Frost thinks he's a rock star.

Please do...

The cover of Def Leppard's Wasted was very good IMO,and personally i think Frost played ok on Metalium's 2nd album

I think Passage to the Other Side is excellent, one of the best US metal albums of the '00s actually. Catchy fun and solid songs with Rivera's great vocals. He sings kinda differently on this one compared to his other recent output, in a more classic Dio way (minus the Halford imitation of Mental Messiah of course). Joey Vera of Armored Saint was also in the band at the time so I guess there was some kind of talent peak here and it shows.

Before and after Passage it's been all mediocrity, I agree.

Metal Law then... Buy Passage avoid the rest...
