SEVEN ENDS is a Dutch band that was founded in 2007. Their first EP did hit the market in 2008 and that same year they started hitting the stage. In 2011 they finished this debut album "To The Worms" that was released at the end of March 2012 by Massacre Records. A fast Death Trash Metal album that does sound like a fast intercity train running, hitting its breaks and pulling up again while passing ruins and sad dying landscapes on its way to dead ends.

Guess I can say that this band is close to home, simply because I'm Dutch too and I have been working 10+ years at the Dutch railroad company, but that would not say it all. How to describe a band anyway? Growling vocals that are not always that easy to follow, rolling drums, fat bass, ragging and melodic guitars? But that does count for a lot of other bands too in special inside this genre. So how to describe "To The Worms" from SEVEN ENDS? What does the ear hear and the heart feel while listening, what makes it good enough to want to keep listening and what makes this band different and or the same compared others?

SEVEN ENDS' debut album "To The Worms" does not only contain landscapes filled with fast anger and rage, but it does also hold a sea of slowing down sadness, resignation and acceptance. A combination that shows that their intercity can move fast, hit breaks and change tracks on their SEVEN ENDS way "To The Worms". A powerful quality that's refreshing and suiting the genre they've decided to play.

SLAYER, PANTERA, EXODUS, TESTAMENT, HATESPHERE, MACHINE HAD, FEAR FACTORY, SEPULTURA, OBITURAY and VADER are their Facebook list of bands they do like and SEVEN ENDS doesn't sound like any one of them, but I do recognize all of them inside the genre they're playing. This fast steady and powerful track running debut album "To The Worms" is a great listen and even though death is all around present, the album somehow also sounds surprisingly refreshing while trashing it.

"To The Worms" is quite good, in special for a debut album brought by a band that hasn't been around for decades. This is a very promising album from SEVEN ENDS that drove by fast, handling my repeat buttonwith grace.
