Listened to this 3 times today and it was like a relentless barage of awesomeness. 

2024 has finally begun 😉

One spin through, and it sounds pretty good. Why have I not heard of these guys?

I went looking for the album and they have already released about 4 others... never heard of them before either.

Well, it's even more annoying for me, considering they're from the next province over. Canadian radio is a sack of dicks. These guys would never get played, or even promoted on radio.

They released this excellent song in 2022 and it didn't make the new album for some unknown reason.

Edit: 'Strange Love' is a bonus track on the CD version of the new album.

I just heard the breakdown/solo section in ‘Blood Magic’ and my balls splattered all over the car. Like Glen said, album is just huge and it’s as if they’re saying “I dare you not to dig this.” Only a few songs in, but sounds massive in every way.

This is the place to get it, especially if you live in North America...

I take it back. Just ordered the CD and shipping was only $9 to Australia. That is very decent. Hope it arrives soon so I can rock out!

So I guess they started moving in a more melodic direction with 2018's Play to Win? Prior to that, everything I'd heard from them was speed/straight metal (and not really that good IMO), so I stopped paying attention to them. 🤷 New stuff is pretty good.

Nope. No confirmation. Just an email confirming the order.

Mine arrived today in the post. Not bad for postage time to Australia! How cool is the bonus silver embossed cover art card? I put it in the front of the CD and it looks absolutely sweet. Gonna play this LOUD now.

My bad...but I just noticed that the cd contains 3 bonus tracks(doh!) :) ...Deathwish/Take The Money And Run are excellent too.

Picked up “Ultrapower”, “Play to Win”, and the self titled discs directly from the band’s website, and have been listening to them on and off over the last week or so. LOVE “Ultrapower”, and “Play to Win”, but haven’t really warmed up to the self titled. Got “Stand in the Fire” on its way too. Overall, really enjoying their recent output. :headbanger:

I wonder if this means a return to the project's original synthwave style?

    • New song 'Siren Song'. From Frontiers: Seventh Crystal, who stormed on the melodic rock scene in 2021 since their stunning debut album "Delirium", have announced the release of their third full-length, "Entity". Seventh Crystal took everything up a major level (or two, really), "Entity" sees the bands exploring and expanding different genres, bringing their melodic rock formula, to progressive rock fields, sometimes little heavier and back to their unique rock style. Seventh Crystal is a melodic hard rock band from Gothenburg formed by Kristian Fyhr in 2019. What started as a solo project by Kristian quickly grew into a larger endeavor when Johan Älvsång and Olof Gadd joined the project. Shortly after, Anton Roos and Emil Dornerus also joined the band, completing the initial lineup. In 2020 the band signed a deal with Frontiers Records and released their debut album "Delirium" in 2021, which made waves all around the world. Due to the guitar-heavy parts on the album, the band realized they needed one more guitarist to be able to perform the songs live. Gustav Linde, an old friend of Anton Roos, took on the job, and the band began to work on their slightly more guitar-oriented follow-up album "Wonderland." The album "Wonderland" was released in 2023 alongside the EP "Infinity," establishing the band as an act to be reckoned with. During the fall, Johan Älvsång decided to step aside, and the band continued as a five-piece into the recordings of a third album. Drawing inspiration from a variety of genres, from soft rock to hard-hitting heavy metal, Seventh Crystal showcases a diverse range of musical expression. The band aims to be authentic and serve as an inspiration, outlet, and escape for their audience. Their sound is characterized by bombastic productions, catchy hooks, and dramatic and emotional melodies. TRACKLIST: 1. Oathbreaker 2. Thirteen to One 3. 404 4. Path of the Absurd 5. Architects of Light 6. Interlude 7. Blinded by the Light 8. Siren Song 9. Versus 10. Mayflower 11. Push Comes to Shove 12. A Place Called Home 13. Song Of The Brave    
    • The latest band featured is "Y&T". This is a good one, as always with channel.  On a side note, I'm just thinking that there aren’t too many bands that have a Lead Singer that is also the Lead Guitarist.     
    • Featuring Ben Christo, Joe Elliot and Billy Duffy
