I'm new here.


Sevenoneself

Recommended Posts

Good day!

I'll be honest upfront--I'm joining this forum to advertise my debut Christian hard rock metal album. Band name is Sevenoneself, album is "The Treasure of the Crucible". But more of that in a different post.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, where there's little-to-no music scene. In high school I survived off of HM magazine (and their sampler CD's), our local Christian bookstore (era of Intense, REX, and the beginnings of SolidState), and Cross Rhythms Music. I even ordered a few CD's from Rowe Productions; 2 were flagged at the border and by the time I paid duty I owned 2 VERY expensive Christian thrash albums!

I'm a multi-instrumentalist who has ended up playing in worship bands most of his life. I've been a part of very-small music projects, but nothing that has ever turned into anything. The fact that my wife and I had our first child when I was 22 could have something to do with that! I've been a youth pastor, associate pastor, and bible camp director.

I am not nearly as versed in the music world as most of you. I knew the music scene much better 25 years ago than now. But the last few years I've been checking out the top reviews at AngelicWarlord and have picked up some great new music.

My Favourite Christian Metal Bands / Albums (no particular order):

Tourniquet       - Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance
Skillet              - Unleashed
Vengeance       - Once Dead
Stryper            - Against the Law
Narnia             - From Darkness to Light
Tamplin            - Soul Survivor
Theocracy        - As the World Bleeds
Living Sacrifice - Nonexistent
Zao                 - The Splinter Shards...
The Crucified    - Pillars of Humanity

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm a fan of Deliverance - Weapons of our Warfare, Vengeance Rising (first 2 albums especially), Bloodgood (yup, first couple albums), Barren Cross - Atomic Arena, and Extol's Burial.

I've listened to Believer' and Veni Domine (like 20 years ago!) and they didn't resonate with me. Red Sea and Hero I've never heard of, so I'll be checking them out right now!

Yes. I think folks on this site know a whole lot about music, and I think it's very impressive.

    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
