Just checking that out.
For some reason I passed on the first album (can't remember why) but it soundz like they may have stepped things up a notch or two for this disc.
Might have to listen some more.

Sounds good.

But lets see now...we have

Seventh Angel
Seventh Avenue
Seventh Day Slumber
Seventh Reign
Seventh Power
Seventh Seal
Seventh Seal (Norway)
Seventh Sign
Seventh Soul
Seventh Star
Seventh Vision

Did I miss one?

Personally, I don't think we have enough Seventh bands yet.

You missed Seven System lol

Seriously! I started this rant on a thread a year or so ago.
It gets even worse when you add the "7" or "Seven" bands too.

Rev 7
The 77's
7 Doors Down
Legend Seven
Seven Angels
Seven System (as Silent said) etc. etc. etc.

its a little nuts.

Just listened to this for the first time. Wow. Where do I start? This stuff is really epic and over the top- sounds like a combination of Theocracy and Sacred Warrior but with some Faith Factor or Veni Domine thrown in. A lot of progressive moments mixed in with what I might describe as a Euro power metal sound.

Lyrically, there seems to be quite a bit of Christian imagery here. As a matter of fact, I read online that "Fallen Empires" is a concept album based around "corruption of major corporations, the sin of mankind and the search for the truth in this confused and mislead world."

Do you think this is something that should be reviewed at Angelic Warlord?

Staybrite, these are good questions. Perhaps I could have clarified my question better. Instead of "is this something that should be reviewed at Angelic Warlord?" perhaps I should have instead asked "is this something you would like to read about at Angelic Warlord?"

When I started to develop the vision for the site six or seven years ago, my plan was not to review only Christian bands but also cover bands that are "Christian friendly" as well. Hence, you will find reviews of Balance Of Power, Pyramaze, Shadow Gallery, Magnitude 9, Threshold, Six Minute Century and others at the site- all groups that fall under the heading of Christian friendly. I guess you could say the same thing about 7th Reign.

So my thought is there should be no problem putting together a review when considering the lyrical direction- unless anyone has objections (I am willing to listen).

The main challenge is finding the time to do the review: this weekend I hope to put the finishing touches on reviews of new CD's from The Lou Gramm Band and Under Command. Then it is on to Chained ("Grateful Sinner") and Rob Rock's new live release. I just got a pre-release version of the new Bride in from Retroactive as well. So things are going to be busy in the coming months.

Right now it is time to sign off. Been up since 4 this morning and, after putting in full days work, feel pretty tired out...

Thanks for the explanation. I thought they actually where/are a Christian band (but I don't know why).

Personally I have kind of gotten a little burnt out on much of modern "power metal" so I will probably pass on this release. I do still enjoy some of it and will persue the best of them (Narnia, Seventh Ave, Rob Rock, etc.), but for the most part I am listening to considerably less of it.
