Seven Spires - 'Love's Souvenir' (official music video)

Behold the gallery of love’s souvenirs
Behold the proof it wasn’t just a dream
My mind is a museum of things held dear
My bones a mausoleum for my grief

Somehow I lived a decade each passing year
A child chasing love through high esteem
No resting on my laurels, there’s just die or win
Sequestered in the dark, afraid to be

So bury me
There is no poetry
In rotting away in bed
Rotting in my regrets

I wish I knew what came before these castle walls
I wish I could remember how to be
But in the winding darkness of those chasmal halls
There’s not a single echo left of me

So bury me
There is no poetry
In rotting away in bed
Rotting in my regrets

Define the line
Where loathing and longing lie
Where I flinch from touch
Where I crave too much

Paralysed in crumbling foundations
Captured by ghosts of speculations
Trapped in time
Cadavers keep the score

Ashamed in desperation
In throes of trepidation
A flight of preservation
A blight upon my heart
Love’s Souvenir

Contritus es ultra determinatio
Numquam satis erit
Mundus melius sine

Bury me
There is no poetry
In rotting away in bed
Rotting in my regrets

Define the line
Where loathing and longing lie
Where I flinch from touch
Where I crave too much

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

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα live album, ένα ep έφθασε και κάποια singles. Το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό τους πόνημα φέρει τον τίτλο "A Fortress Called Home" και "βγήκε" το περασμένο καλοκαίρι...

Δελτίο τύπου: «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.»
