Seven Spires - 'Architect of Creation' (official music video)

Finally the sun has set on my eternal eve
But with immortal life comes solemn responsibility
When everything I’ve ever wished is finally real to me
All parade before my eyes: a cabaret of dreams

First, the castle perched upon the cliff above the sea
Next, repair The Great Divide, to dock at Fiddler’s Green
Then, the endless rum and banquets, though I never eat
Instead, consume the husks upon the shore when I grow weak

Fear me
Love me
Do as I say
For I will be the keeper of your soul
To whom you pray

Death was never so empowering
The lost are mine for the devouring
The world of drowned is mine to shape
I, the Architect of Creation

I could paint this world as the scenery of my soul
Just consume the light of life so I never grow old
I could be their saviour - should they wish it, to be saved
All that they require or desire, just be named

Fear me
Love me
Do as I say

Death was never so empowering
The days are gone of crying and cowering
I’ll bury both my pride and shame
I, the Architect of Creation

Starting with the carcass of the beast upon the shore
Megalomaniacally, I’ll feast forevermore

And though with every wish I grant
Be it theirs or mine
The shreds of my humanity
Turn sharply in decline
Cosmic powers come with an inescapable price
But I will be a queen in a world of my design

Death was never so empowering
The lost are mine for the devouring
The world of drowned is mine to shape
I, the Architect

Death was never so empowering
The days are gone of crying and cowering
I’ll bury both my pride and shame
I, the Architect of Creation

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.»
