Seven Sisters – born in the depths of West London – are a band that encapsulates melodic,
twin-guitar driven heavy metal. Taking the essence of the 80’s, infusing it with progressive song
structures and an effortless command of dynamics, their take on metal is both familiar and
unequivocally their own.
Formed in 2014, the quartet made early waves with the self-released demo tape The
Warden (2014) and the Lost in Time 7” single (2015). Initially playing a relatively simplistic brand of
metal influenced predominantly by the NWOBHM, these releases were backed up by regular gigging
in the UK, as well as some early ventures to Europe. The band quickly began to build a reputation as
a tight and energetic live unit.
Their self-titled full-length debut followed in 2016, which was the their first foray into the
conceptual storytelling that has since become a signature. The songs were longer, the structures
more progressive and there was a higher standard of musicianship on display, but the hallmarks of
what made the band’s early releases so captivating were still proudly displayed. The album was wellreceived,
and led to extensive touring both at home and overseas.
Off the back of this release, Seven Sisters signed to Dissonance Productions. They
contributed a track to the label’s compilation British Steel - The Rising Force of British Heavy Metal in
2017, and followed this in 2018 with their critically acclaimed sophomore album The Cauldron and
the Cross. This sprawling conceptual effort was a far cry from the band’s early releases, and they
now had both feet firmly planted in the progressive/power metal camp. This release and the
strenuous touring that followed cemented the band’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with in
the underground metal scene.
