this album... is thrash. a style that some may not know and to the rest, it is a vague memory of a long surpassed time. i loved that time.
Seventh Angel puts punk, thrash, and dark edge all together to create an original gothic experience. while it's not the type of goth as the cure... it's a gothic feeling to a style coined by none. it is unique and it is good.
the album is full of some classic type riffs with new twists. riffs that could have come off of a metallica album are twisted and contorted until they at times make no sense alone but put with the rest of the music create an atmospheric thrash masterpiece.
from 'the torment' to 'katie'... this album provides an emotional trek back to a day when moshpits existed and hair flew like the wind. one listen to this cd/tape and if you've never heard it... you will most likely love it. buy this from a used cd source and don't pay 60-80 for it... but if you have a chance... get it. it's good.
7/10

Heaven's Metal #27Reviewed by I.B. WillisStar Song now has Pure Metal Records, and has now acquired from England a tight mosh unit known as Seventh Angel (and there was much rejoicing!). Because of the musical style and singer Ian Arkley's gravelly delivery, comparisons to Vengeance are inevitable. But S.A. has developed a unique creativity that effectively establishes the band as one of the top heavy hitters in the Christian field.…Similar sounding releases
