RADIANT ~ (Featuring some Seventh Avenue members)

Coming this Autumn, featuring Herbie Langhans and other former members of Seventh Avenue.... who’s excited?!!

+!+!+!+! BIG NEWS +!+!+!+!
I'm really happy to announce that we signed a Deal for RADIANT with Massacre Records!!! After three songs it was clear for Massacre that they wanna work with us because they love the album (of course ...because it's great [size=0];-) ). After so many years of writing, jamming and recording with the guys it's great to see a light on the horizon. It's years ago that I produced and mixed a whole album...and yes it's my own band...our band: "RADIANT"...what a great adventure and what a great result. So, we are very proud and we think that we start something special...and Yes it's a good feeling and a lot of Fun!!!
In autumn this year we will finally release our first RADIANT album!!!
Whooohooo 😎🤘

I wonder how this will lyrically stand up.  With Herbie switching to Sinbreed, the lyrics were definitely more of a secular direction.  I know that doesn't matter to some.  For me, I never really got into Seventh Avenue although I have owned most of their albums at one time.  I just never played them.  So, unless I hear this and it just blows me away, I will probably skip it.

I'm sort of interested, but the reasons SA split kind of bothers me a bit.  I think I posted it at the time, but here it is again...

Hi, this will be the final Avenue newsletter. Why the final? Why, one thing is: I have left the band and another is:
Seventh Avenue is not any longer in the way you know it. This is heavy news, I know. But let me explain. We haven’t
parted badly. I just came clear with the knowing that I don’t have the same goals with the music as Herbie, Flo and Markus have.




We discussed a lot about our music and about Seventh Avenue. It came out, that the name “Seventh Avenue” is
associated with white metal. And this is not wrong at all. But it is prejudicial to have commercial success, to be booked
for „regular“ festivals and shows. Many people, and more important: many reviewers are not impartial if they know
about our Christian background. That’s why there will be a new band which enters the music scene with a “clean
image”. Of course, this doesn’t changes our attitude to the belief.




The last sixteen years have been a good and an important period for me. And I regret almost nothing.
Herbie, Flo and Markus will find a new drummer and keep on rocking under a new name.




I thank you all for your loyalty to Seventh Avenue.
Mike
