Seventh Seal - Messengers Of Love

Subject: Seventh Seal - Messengers Of Love Sat Jun 30, 2007 10:47 pm

The latest re-issue from Retroactive Records, Seventh Seal delivers an eighties based blend of melodic metal and hard rock on its debut "Messengers Of Love". Fans of Stryper, Leviticus (the lead vocalist sounds just like Sonny Larson), Laudamus, Holy Soldier and Emotion will be get into this one. Hailing from Norway, Seventh Seal also features one of the best twin guitar attacks you will ever hear.

The album was originally recorded back in the late eighties and not released until 1990 but received limited distribution (only 1000 copies were originally printed).

I wish there were samples online. The CD is not yet available at CD Baby.

Sometimes it would be great to find online samples of some stuff you might like to order.
There are not much online sites where you can listen to samples.
Blastbeats only has short samples and CD Baby has samples too.
I wish Radrockers will start with samples too.

Sounds very promising.

I get confused with all the Seven/7th bands though.
I always think it is the thrash or metalcore bands.

I will probably order this if I can find it somewhere besides Radrockers. I don't mind ordering from them, but they don't have anything else I'm interested in right now. Blamed $25 minimum order!!!

I'm interested, but I gotta hear samples first. No way do I buy sight-unseen (hearing-unheard?) anymore.

I hear you, I almost never do that anymore either.
I do make exception for bands that I already really like.
Like with Rob Rock's new album, I wont bother looking for samples of that. I will just buy it, and expect the high caliber music he is known for.

Agreed, Staybrite. I was more speaking about new bands. Groups like Stryper, Rob Rock, Theocracy...they get bought immediately without hearing any of it.

I sorta figured that's what you meant when you said "sight unseen". But I just wanted to through my 3 cents in there too.

Lately, I prefer to hear something before buying, but that's hard when there are no online samples yet. CD Baby will have it as Retroactive is really good about selling their stuff there.

But, I've also come to trust Retroactive. They have released CD after CD that I have loved. I can usually tell with there stuff just by the description if I am going to like something. And, by this description, I think I will love it:

I got this today, and I am LOVING it! It's just some great classic 80's style melodic metal. I think you all would really like this one and that you need to order this NOW!

Guess I need to listen to this again. I don't recall anything special about it at all unless the remaster did wonders for it.
