SEVENYEARSDEAD release thier Debut Album "TO THE RUIN OF ALL" on casket Records.
Hailing from Manchester and Warrington in the North West of England, sevenyearsdead originally formed in 2001, but it wasnt until brothers Pete (guitar) and Jez (vocals) joined forces with drummer Dave, and G on bass, that SYD started making waves in the local and national metal scene. After 5 years, 3 EPs and hundreds of gigs across the country, Dave decided to pursue other career paths and amicably parted company with SYD in March 2006. SYD temporarily rehearsed and gigged with Kath, a drummer from Manchester, for about 5 months from May to October of 2006, and after an intense search, Nuno was found.
Nuno joined the band in late October 2006. Originally from Portugal, he has been living in the UK for only a year or two. It seemed fate that he should join SYD, for instantly a tight, heavy as hell sound emerged, thanks to Nunos powerhouse drumming, with insane double bass and a rhythmic percussion reminiscent of the great Vinnie Paul.
Influences that include Pantera, Slipknot, Skid Row and Machine Head, have given each member of the band a desire to not only carry on a tradition of no-holds-barred metal, but to create blistering heavy-as-lead riffs coupled with emotive harmonies and powerful lyrics, that truly sets them apart from the majority of modern metal bands. Their dedication and hard-working attitude towards writing and performing their music give sevenyearsdead a truly original and refreshingly unique sound, which comes to the fore when they play live; an aggressive, professional show that is tight and well honed, full of dynamic and infectious energy.
All that can be said is that this is the band SYD have always wanted to be and after 5 months of serious and dedicated rehearsals, the debut album, To the Ruin of All was recorded in April 2007 and will be released on Casket Music (I-DEF-I, Panic Cell, Forever Never)
SYD can only go from strength to strength. The album is a very strong debut, making huge leaps forward from their previous EPs, and showcasing each members talent for constructing contemporary, original, yet catchy old school heavy metal with heavy emphasis on vocal harmonies and melody.
