Coming off their critically praised sophomore album, "Emerald Seas", Seven Spires are set to return with their third, and by far, most ambitious album to date, "Gods Of Debauchery" on September 10, 2021.
This God is Dead
Pt 1: Smoke and Mirrors
Blindly,
Across the sea,
Your love
Lit my way through storm and shade
For a thousand years.
Today, and every day,
Let me be your light,
Let me be your light
Always.
Another battle, another day
To face the light and pull away from the embrace
Of the shadows where I survive
The agony reminds me I’m alive.
Oh mother, I wonder if you knew.
Oh father, if only I could speak with you.
Did you love my smoke and mirrors?
That should be enough, that would be enough
(Roy Khan:)
I know you found it, that dream you chased.
Don’t ever think that what you love is a mistake.
Despite the demons that rule you mind,
Stay the course, everything will be alright.
Your mother, she watches over you.
My daughter, just know that we are proud of you.
From the beyond, you’ll never hear us,
But you have our love, you have our love.
(Adrienne:)
Can’t afford to die, and can’t afford to lose.
(Roy and Adrienne:)
Sweet angel, wish I had been enough for you.
All I am is smoke and mirrors.
(Adrienne:)
Would you love me if you knew?
Could you love me if you knew?
Pt. 2: Mania and Nothing
What happened to me?
I never saw these bones.
I wear this skin like someone else’s clothes.
These scraps of childhood scenes are roughly sewn.
There’s no tomorrow,
Just a day that started lifetimes ago.
Back and forth,
Mania and nothing.
Nothing at all.
What happened to me?
Who am I?
Everything I’ve been feels like it’s a lie.
Food makes me sick and drink makes me fade.
Are these my memories?
Am I even awake?
Back and forth,
Mania and nothing.
Nothing at all.
Pt. 3: The Majesty
(Earth, give me strength
Skies, lend your range
Moon, lend your light
Stars, guide my way)
Bow before the majesty,
This loathsome demon reborn.
Life with new purpose.
See the earth through young eyes.
Feel the universe through an ancient soul.
Pt. 4: Beneath the Morning Star
I have known all and nothing.
I have stared into the void until it haunted my dreams.
Screamed and smiled beneath the morning star,
And conducted the chorus of grim constellations.
Their lights lied, I died a thousand times.
Floating frozen past their majesties,
I wandered too far into the black.
Non est otium
Tibi putesce mari aeterno
Abhorremus te
Endless nights awake in vain
My imploding brain
Torturing my psyche, there was no escaping myself
My hatred, my failures, my losses, my loathing
There was no hollow peace
This has been my final death, finally accept
All that I am, and all that I’m meant to be
Perhaps eternally
Non est otium
Tibi putesce mari aeterno
Abhorremus te
Pt. 1 Smoke and Mirrors (Reprise):
(Roy and Adrienne):
Blindly, across the sea
(Adrienne:)
Your love...
(Roy:)
Lit your way through storm and shade
For a thousand years.
(Adrienne:)
Today, and every day
(Roy and Adrienne:)
I will be your light,
Let me be your light,
Always
Pt. 5: This God is Dead
Guide of the lost,
Guardian of the broken,
Bringer of peace in final hours.
Happiness is a choice,
And purpose, a charted course.
I am but a soul-keeper,
And this god is dead.
Line-up:
Adrienne Cowan - Vocals + Orchestrations
Jack Kosto - Guitar
Peter de Reyna - Bass

[@KilianSchindler]

Right! It's glorious.

[@Northern90s]

I needed it. I haven't listened to anything Kamelot related since he's depart from the band. No disrespect to Tommy, he's great and doing great things. But I grew up on Roy's voice, and in my personal opinion they've made Tommy into some Wish version of Roy and I don't like it.

[@ecoao80]

@@Northern90s Roy's theatrical lyrics and stage presence and singing style is so organic and natural, everything Tommy does for Kamelot seems too forced, like he's a gesticulating magician doing a performance.

[@susul2843]

@@ecoao80 agreed it's his stage presence. He feels every single word and note, well he wrote so much of them.

I saw Adrienne cowan for the first time on youtube featuring Dimmu Borgir song and I got astonished by her voice. This song appeared on my Spotify release radar years after, and I am really happy I realized she was singing. Her death growl style comes directly from hell.

This song has the structure and feel of a Nightwish Track (like Poet and the pendulum) but with a distinctively Seven Spires take. Good song

Poet and the Pendulum is a very good comparison, imo.

[@Madnessofmusic]

@@Briansgate yeah, poet, alongside with the “greatest show on earth” and “song of myself” are the three night-wish songs I was thinking of when I first listened to this track, as they are all long epic sounding songs with specific and distinct musical sections.

[@rosemarienielsen1610]

The Best for ever !!! Roy and Adrienne !!! Power Great !!!

[@maxmattt]

A sign of a great band is when each album tops the last and even after only hearing 2 songs I can already tell, this is going to be the best album so far.

[@matthewlawlis2421]

Best album of their three too. Third album is always the most important. It says if your just a fluke or not.

[@squid8792]

The choir vocals were absolutely amazing. I would love to hear more of that.

[@Heropon]

Ok this is one of the best things I've ever heard. Part 1 is simply one of the best power metal song I've heard, Roy Khan is perfect in this, feels like Kamelot at its very best. Sometimes with Seven Spires I don't like Adrienne's growls, but here it actually works very well. The middle of the song is incredibly atmospheric and you can feel the protagonist fighting against his inner demons. The end of the song is grandiose, Symphonic Metal ending that make this song feels like Nightwish and Epica long songs too (The Poet and the Pendulum, The Divine Conspiracy...). So much different emotions and atmospheres in this, amazing songwriting really. Feels like a perfect song for an album ending.

[@matthewlawlis2421]

Lyrics are great and emotional too. Not cheesy at all.

[@hrolnir]

I love how Roy Khan shows up on this album, gets everybody sentimental and weepy, then the very next track on the album is an epic love letter to classic Kamelot bangers. Can't tell if it's a sly wink or a mic drop moment.

OMG GUYS!!! You have no idea how much I wanted to hear this song since I knew that Roy Khan would sing too, because the combination of the voice of Adrienne and Roy was simply magical, it was excellent! the gutturals were where they should be, the guitar, bass and drums provided exactly what those voices needed to achieve an epic song, and the lyrics ❤️❤️❤️...I just loved it!

As a youtube content creator myself....they can totally turn the "mid-roll" ads off. And they just ruined it for me too

[@frontiersmusicsrl]

Hi everyone, the ads were a simple oversight and we apologize. We upload a good amount of content on our channel and adjusting the mid-roll ads just slipped through the cracks on this one. It has been fixed and we appreciate it being pointed out. But have to laugh at this being labeled 'pure greed' as if we were somehow getting rich off of those ads. We'll be sure to put the 00.00000001¢ we made before you discovered our nefarious plot to good use buying fuel for our private plane.

Just a note to say yes the vocals yes. But the Percussion, Tho! Normally you hear a metal bass doing the 32nd notes driver, but this time its the drummer beating quadruple time and going nuts on the skins like it's no thing. The bass is backgrounded behind the drums, unusual but refreshing, allows the symphonics elements to take the lead.
