In mid-May 2010 Heaven and Hell Records will release the Nevada powerhouse Seventh Callings second full-length album Epidemic.
Originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota, the band built a name for themselves through Midwest tour dates and their 2007 album Monuments on Melissa Records. Last year the core of the band, Steve Handel and guitarist Alex Ritchey relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada to team up with Avenger of Blood drummer Shannon Frye to complete the Prelude to Madness EP, issued late 2009 by Heaven and Hell Records.
The bands debut for the label has been met with rave reviews worldwide as anticipation grows for their second full length. With the addition of Marc Flores, also of Avenger of Blood, on bass the band entered at Sound Vision Studios of Las Vegas, NV on Feb. 15th with producer/engineer, Lance Swain. This will be the second time that the group has done work with Lance, who also did work with the band on their video 'Blood of the Divine' taken from the band's EP release 'Prelude to Madness
"The new material is more aggressive than past efforts, and all of us involved, feel that this music is much more matured. And to be working with Lance Swain again on this project will be great!" - guitar/vocalist Steve Handel
Track listing for Epidemic is as follows;
1. Test of Time
2. Paid in Blood
3. Rising Against
4. Epidemic
5. Ignite the Fire
6. Death Dealer
7. Fractured
8. Tyrannical Reign

In addition to the rapid progress in the past few months and the signing with industry veteran Marco Barbieris Salem Rose Music Publishing, Seventh Calling have steadily maintained a presence on the live music circuit all over the U.S. since their appearance at the Kansas City Power Metal Festival in 2009.
Following the release of Epidemic in May of 2010 a two part U.S. tour will begin in June and run through September seeing the band circling the country twice. Special guest Cruz Del Surs Widow will be joining Seventh Calling on several of these dates. Dates announced soon.
2010 promises to be a good year for Seventh Calling. Please watch for more announcements to follow soon.
