Seven Actual grind through short, explosive compositions from Jyvaskyla, channeling grindcore's tradition of maximum intensity in minimum time. Formed in 2022, they bring numerical precision to the central Finnish grind scene.
Christian power metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, formed in 2000, fronted by vocalist Debora Serri alongside guitarist Karim Serri, keyboardist Rafael Friesen, bassist Ricardo Bagatelli, and drummer Eliezer Leite. Their debut album The Second Floor was released in 2002 on Megahard Records, followed by The Faceless Man in 2006 on Bombworks Records, both combining melodic power metal with progressive tendencies and explicitly faith-based lyrical themes.
Gothenburg's Seven Circles pair progressive heavy and doom metal from Sweden's metal capital since 2013. Named for the seven circles of hell, their Dantean reference channels infernal descent into compositions of over a decade of ambitious, genre-blending heaviness.
Seven Daily Sins deliver technically demanding progressive death metal out of Minsk, layering complex time signatures and intricate guitar work over crushing heaviness. Their approach favors precision and compositional ambition, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal with mathematical intensity.
Black metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, centered on multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Juliano Scharf alongside vocalist Sabbaoth (Evandro Siebert). The band released the demo Welcome Radiation in 1997, with all songs written by Scharf except the track Torment to Borodin, and later contributed the track The Worst of Enemies to the compilation Stronger than Before before eventually splitting up.
Formed in 2022 in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Seven Hollows bring an expansive and melancholy vision to atmospheric black metal, weaving glacial guitar textures and bleak ambient passages across a backdrop of Ozark isolation. Despite being a young project, their approach to the genre feels deliberate and deeply absorbed in the introspective tradition of the form.
Saint Petersburg's Seven Iron Kicks pair groove and thrash metal from the cultural capital since 2015. Their name of metallic violence and imperial-city origins channel counted percussive impacts into rhythmically aggressive compositions.
DeLand, Florida's Seven Kingdoms take their name from George R.R. Martin's fantasy saga and channel that epic storytelling ambition into anthemic power metal driven by blazing guitar work and soaring vocal melodies. The band has shared stages with Blind Guardian and Holy Grail, natural companions for their European-influenced sound rooted in the tradition of classic Helloween and Gamma Ray. Their signing to Reigning Phoenix Music and ongoing releases demonstrate a band committed to keeping American power metal alive and thriving.
Seven Lies play heavy and alternative metal from Helsinki, combining classic metal foundations with modern rock accessibility. Formed in 2020, they bring deceptive intensity to the Finnish capital's versatile metal scene.
