Metal maniacs, rejoice! The Thrasher returns to present to you: SEVEN SISTERS; signed via High Roller Records, hailing from London, England - performing Heavy Metal, on their debut album entitled: "Seven Sisters".

Since formation in 2013; the quintet in question have a Demo entitled "The Warden" (released on June 14^th, 2014), and a Single entitled "Lost In Time" (released on June 21^st 2015). I'm acquainted with their debut album - "Seven Sisters". What we have here is a quartet who seems hell-bent on the influence of the all-time fan-favorite NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) icons - IRON MAIDEN. Right off the earphones from the track "Destiny's Calling"; it's clearly evident that the band are reminiscently inspired to that of the Paul Di'Anno era, while the vocalization from Kyle McNeill on vocals/guitar proficiently mimic the vocalist on the "Iron Maiden" & "Killers" records, with an abundant of indifferences here and there, including pummeling instrumentation and musicianship tenfold. Going in with medium expectations; I can wholeheartedly approve that I was enjoying a solid slab of revived 80s precedence, surprising myself in the mean time.

Consistently delivering complex dexterity; Graeme Farmer on guitar prominently showcase flashy riffery that elements at Speed Metal efficiency, and has a fulfilling, yet energetic, formula to it. What's surprising with SEVEN SISTERS is the guitar work has a distinct flair that overpowers IRON MAIDEN's first 2 albums with a distinguishing aptitude for a modern type of substance. The pummeling powerhouse from Javi Rute on bass and Steve Loftin on drums, contribute to the sound production and rhythmic sections brilliantly. Razor-sharp playing mixed with captivating song writing all tied together with an anthem charm; filled with an organic aesthetic to keep the listener coming back for more. While the instrumentation still has the Bruce Dickenson era fused with the vocalization of the Paul Di'Anno era; this is practically the best comparison I can come up with, but all sounds solid and unprecedented for sure.

Consisting of 8 highly detailed tracks ranging at around 39:20, "Destiny's Calling", "Highway Of The Night" & "The Silk Road", open up the titular album with a mystically binding introduction, building up with volume and rhythmic intensity increasing. This charm breaks with ricocheting riffery balanced with a galloping, atmospheric melodic and proportioning captivation - diversely layered with a Speed Metal sound dispersed with a strikingly smooth and steady drum segments. "Seven Sisters", "Pure As Sin" & "Commanded By Fear" unleash more diversity of screaming Heavy Metal integrity; as an IRON MAIDEN fan, I can't help but mention them more as the resemblance is almost uncanny. Transitioning into their own band - SEVEN SISTERS are almost identical with the later songs. Harmonies abound; "Gods And Men Alike" & "Cast To The Stars" concludes the record with stunning clarity.

Recapturing the 80s NWOBHM scene with added substances and tones; SEVEN SISTERS certainly subsist in Heavy Metal maniacs craving enticing headbanging, fist-in-the-air pounding - as well as musicianship that is stellar in every way. An IRON MAIDEN fan? It's simple; check it out!<
