Seven Spires - 'Almosttown' (official music video)

Cold stone beneath my feet
Wrapped in furs and dressing gown
November night caressed my face
The only fond touch I allow
Moonlight floods my bedroom
Through the window where I gaze
From far above the mad and merry crowd

Candlelight and laughter warms their windows,
Crease their faces
Around the bonfire in the square,
The songs of all their ages
They’re the lost and broken,
I’m their keeper in the keep
But they sing words that
I can’t bear to speak aloud

They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn’t wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So don’t wait until your life is over
Say your piece now
Or join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Now I spend eternity with songs I never wrote
Peace in isolation, in the fortress I call home
Perched in a stone gesture looming lonely in the sky
Musing on those endless might-have-beens

While they sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn’t wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you’ll join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Did I choose the wrong fate?
Will I ever know?
Realising too late
Don’t know where to go
All those years spent dreaming, fighting
Never knowing why
I can’t deny what I have always been

They sing of love, they sing of regret
Time doesn’t wait for the dead
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
They sing of friends they lost to years
So keep your dream alive
Never bend or bow
Or you’ll join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Οι Seven Spires μας έρχονται από την Μασαχουσέτη. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από μία... ενδεκάδα έτη και χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους ως "theatrical metal" στο ύφος των Avantasia, Kamelot, Epica.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα live album, ένα ep έφθασε και τέσσερα singles. Το πλέον πρόσφατο φέρει τον τίτλο "Almosttown" και προετοιμάζει το έδαφος για το νέο full length album της μπάντας, το οποίο φέρει τον τίτλο "A Fortress Called Home" και αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του πρώτου καλοκαιρινού μήνα...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Seven Spires will release their fourth studio album, titled “A Fortress Called Home”, on June 21st, 2024, via Frontiers Music srl. The highly-anticipated follow-up to “Gods of Debauchery” (2021) takes their signature blend of symphonic, power and extreme metal to new heights, and drags the listener to the deepest abysses in the process.

“A Fortress Called Home” was produced, mixed, and mastered by guitarist Jack Kosto. Frontwoman Adrienne Cowan comments: “I visited the void twice while writing this album. I don’t know which begat the other. It’s ugly. I love it and I hate it, and I think it’s our best work yet.”

Seven Spires are an American symphonic metal band from Boston, MA. Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world with strikingly emotional filigree and relentless technical prowess.

Known as much for their melancholic concept albums as their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, cinematic soundscapes, and more.»
