Seven Spires is an American metal quartet who enjoy drawing from across the spectrum of metal and beyond to tell their tales of demons, death, love, and the peculiarities of the human condition. The band’s sophomore album, “Emerald Seas," is a highly emotional, dark, and theatrical epic.
“‘Succumb’ was written in the heart of Boston while we were still attending Berklee,“ explains vocalist Adrienne Cowan. “As many of our songs do, it began as vocals and piano, and then we fleshed out the rest of the arrangement together. I suppose everyone has their own experiences and hopefully will interpret the lyrics to the song in their own way, but in the story of “Emerald Seas”, the main character has departed on their long journey and is indulging in memories of someone quite special instead of focusing on their quest. It's a bittersweet one... but aren't they all? :)”
“Emerald Seas” is a theatrical concept album, and is the prequel to the story of their debut full-length “Solveig”. The album follows a lone sea captain on their quest for eternal life while being hunted by an ancient beast and struggling with loneliness, sacrifice, alcoholism, and the unexpected weight that comes with achieving one’s goals. Seven Spires’ signature blend of melancholic beauty and emotional brutality on “Emerald Seas” is the sonic manifestation of the silent emptiness that chills one's insides when staring across bleak, open waters.
The band explains the influences behind the album, “Musically, “Emerald Seas” is influenced by our usual mix of melodic and extreme metal favorites and Hans Zimmer worship. We immersed ourselves deeply in 19th Century Romantic music and art while writing this record, and I like to think some traits from that era are present as a result. It's highly emotional; sweet and melodic at times, and quite dark and brutal at others, especially when dealing with themes like losing one's fear of death.”
The band, as with their debut, collaborated with Sascha Paeth (Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica, etc), who mixed and mastered the album. Incidentally, Adrienne Cowan was handpicked by Paeth to front his new band, Sascha Paeth’s Masters of Ceremony and she is also one of the touring vocalists for the hugely popular Avantasia.
Seven Spires met while studying at the world renowned Berklee College of Music in Boston, so we need not spend much time going on about their musical capabilities, but needless to say, the band’s musicianship is in keeping with the metal tradition of tirelessly working to be the best at your craft. Singer Adrienne Cowan is a true talent, with vocals ranging from the beautiful to the demonic, while her bandmates Jack Kosto (guitar), Peter de Reyna (bass), and Chris Dovas (drums) weave intricate musical tales to accompany the lyrical tales presented here.
Seven Spires continue Frontiers' tradition of identifying and signing the most promising young talents to ensure that the future of hard rock and metal music is in good hands.

I wish she moves in with me.

[@kevliao]

Just discovered Seven Spires today, and I agree, she has instantly moved into one of my favorite female vocalists (I'd say Anette Olzon ex Nightwish was in that spot before). I did see Adrienne with Avantasia on tour in 2019. Didn't know she was a growler.

[@lukasbelan2109]

I discovered Seven Spires last day evening so I wasnt really concious anymore when listening, went to youtube today and got recommendations on the gods of debauchery, listened to it, remembered I had already listened to it. For the last hour I've been binging this band. I dont remember last time a vocalist made it into my top 5 list this fast!

[@coltonstrain584]

Her voice gives me chills this song brings tears to my eyes what a masterpiece

[@Blisterdude123]

I'd like to thank Adrienne Cowan for involving Sascha Paeth in mixing Seven Spires albums, which led to Sascha Paeth bringing Adrienne Cowan onto Avantasia's live tour, and Tobia Sammet's Avantasia, therefore, for bringing me here.

Same here :-)

Discovered this band on tour with Dragonforce. What an incredible surprise! They are really stellar. This song's main melody & chorus are absolutely massive.

[@Dagon391]

They're better than dragonforce

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

I had been hearing their name for years now and never gave them a shot as they were always described just as "symphonic metal", which I am just tired of the same tired cliche "female fronted symphonic metal" bands. Today something got me checking them out and I have realized how much more than just "symphonic metal" they are, as they blend all kinds of styles of metal. As a person who loves all kinds of metal this is right up my alley and I literally just purchased all 3 of their LP's.

[@brooksblalock4683]

same, i went and listened to all their stuff after the concert, everytime i go see dragonforce I find a band I like that ive never heard of. Additionally, Adrienne Cowan is cool af, got a pic with her after the show

[@hambydammit]

I can't stop listening to this. Somehow I missed the release, and just heard it while listening to the whole album. One of the best symphonic metal songs I've ever heard.

[@danielengstom1127]

Finally! Now i really hope you'll be crossing the emerald sea over to Europe and play some shows ;)

[@mooncritter721]

AMAZING VOCALS!! THAT GIRL CAN SING!!!!

[@theowl8434]

[@azjournal3616]

I can't get enough of Seven Spires, this band is synonymous of perfection. Versatility and virtuosity in every album. One of the wonders of our time.

[@josephkidwell4496]

I found this band by accident an hour ago looking up dimmu borgir and I can’t stop listening to it. This is the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. Purist voice ever!

[@Theodax1]

What an amazing song! Her vocal delivery and annunciation are absolutely SPOT ON! I can hear a good deal of maturity in her voice and love the juxtaposition between the light, breathy soft vocals and the strong full throaty singing in the verses. The individual musicianship of the other band members is completely incredible. Seven Spires is QUICKLY becoming a band to keep an eye and ears on for the foreseeable future. Also, turning into one of my favorite bands I've discovered in the last two years or so.

[@theTenthlife]

Holy crap man. Just got introduced to this band with Debauchery a few days ago, which is great, but this is something else. I've listened to this at least a dozen times today and it keeps getting better. The kind of music that makes you wish you knew more people that would get it to share it with. I'm late to the party, but this is fucking stellar stuff and I needed to say it.

[@julianruggiero9701]

Seven Spires is so underrated. I love how versatile, powerful and beautiful Adrienne's vocals are. To think that Succumb and Gods of Debauchery are two songs from the same band is so awesome. I can't wait for more!!

[@evacody1249]

She has a range that you don't hear from many of the mega pop or country singers. The fact she can go really low to something like this is not easy. In fact it's really hard and if done wrong could damage your voice.

[@evacody1249]

Also let's remember she is doing it over a drummer who is blast beating like it going out of style.

[@alexogilvie4523]

Absolutely love everything Spires has done but I always keep coming back to this song. It's just perfection and pumps you up for anything!

After finally completing my listening and rating of almost 400 albums from the year 2020, "Emerald Seas" stands above the rest as my favorite album from that year and unlike almost everything else I've listened to I've been compelled to return to it again and again. Seven Spires really created a beautiful and perfectly balanced album.

[@OLDM4N-DE]

Beautiful song, beautiful melodies... what I love about this band is their flexibility. They have so different songs, you otherwise wouldnt expect to be on the same album or even same band. Sound is awesome, production is the same. Adrienne's voice is simply perfect, its the perfect balance of all different styles. One thing that I thought, and that has absolutely nothing to do with the music itself, but is simply personal preference. ^^ The blond hair is not as fitting to Adrienne than the black hair. Also doesnt fit to her skin, but thats just personal taste. But no matter what hair color ^^ , i only found this band very recently, and I wish I had known them sooner. I see a very bright future here. Not to mention that i am very happy that they're with Frontiers Records, my absolute favourite music label. I think by now, over 40% of all my favourite bands is on this label. I'd love to see one of their festivals one day, but since they're mostly in Italy, not so easy to get there sometimes. Maybe you guys (Frontiers) could make some Festivals & more artist shows in other parts of Europe, like for example in Germany. ;)
