Customer Reviews
Plodding heavy rock!
This CD rocks and buying it here at iTunes is the cheapest place you are going to find it. Some of the lyrics are very simple and repetitive which is the only down-side to this release. The best review I have seen on this disc is from nolifetilmetal.com so I paste that here: Seventh Power is the band fronted by Bill Menchen, guitarist for both Titanic and Final Axe. Together with Stryper drummer Robert Sweet Final Axe bassist Rod Reasner, Seventh Power have released their first self-titled CD. The music is much like Menchen's other bands, simplistic, straight-forward, mid-paced heavy metal. However, Bill does add in some other influences to mix things up, adding in some power metal and doom influences throughout. The instrumental “Seven Golden Lampstands” and the slightly heavier and experimental “Ocean Of Emotion Motion” add to the albums diversity as well. "Possesser of You" adds in some eerie sounding keyboards that give the song a different flavor as well. "Eye in the Skies" starts off with a nice mixture of piano and guitar crunch, before breaking into a straight-forward metal number. "Heaven's Gates" also offers some of this piano/guitar mix in the middle of the song. It might have been cool to have heard the band take this a bit further. Bill becomes the band's vocalist, as well as guitarist and songwriter. Unfortunately this is the weakest part of the CD. His vocal style is pretty simplistic and mundane, with touches of Ozzy Osbourne at times. To compensate for the lack of dynamics in the vocals, Bill uses different, digital, robotic sounding vocal effects on just about every song. On "Ocean of Emotion" he plays around with all sorts of different and bizarre vocal effects throughout the song. I am sure the reason for this is because these effects help distract from the fact that the lyrics are so repetitive. Actually the entire song is nothing more than the song title being repeated over and over again. "The Power" is also a bit repetitive with the chorus, "The power of Christ compels you" being repeated at least twenty times or more in the song. The rest of the lyrics are all Christian based, but are also well written and don't come off as cheesy or as repetitive as the two aforementioned songs. Overall, I find the music on Seventh Power to be high quality heavy metal, it's just a shame that the vocals are so monotonous and the vocal effects so distracting.
Awesome Metal Album
For fans of Classic Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Titanic, Final Axe, & Stryper. The Seventh Power is the band fronted by Bill Menchen, guitarist for both Titanic and Final Axe. Robert Sweet (STRYPER) fills in on drums, and admits this is some of his most accomplished work! Retroactive Records is thrilled to unleash this monumental classic metal release upon the world! Fans of classic Ozzy and Black Sabbath will find receive this with open arms. No frantic, speed metal anthems here. Instead you’ll discover a doomy, sinister elegance built on Menchen’s minor-key innovations. The Seventh Power delivers a seemingly endless supply of crushingly loud & heavy riffs to bludgeon their audiences into sweet, willing oblivion. (from girdermusic.com, but I echo everything they say!!)
This Band ROCKS!!
Wow. I bought half of their album, and I want MORE! This is an awesome metal band that I can understand the words to. The guitars in "Far from Fear" sound really cool, and the lyrics to all the songs are obviously Christian. I don't regret buying these songs at all.
