Retroactive Records has just released the second album from
THE SEVENTH POWER, the Las Vegas, Nevada-based collaboration between axe-shredder extraordinaire
Bill Menchen (
TITANIC,
FINAL AXE) and world-class drummer
Robert Sweet of
STRYPER. According to a press release, “
Menchen exceeds his lofty reputation with addictive riffs throughout; laced with fast, fluid, and emotion-filled guitar solos ala
Randy Rhoads.
Sweet proves that his tribal beats and precision drumming are perfect for the massive heavy riffs shelled forth by
THE SEVENTH POWER! Filled with monster riff after monster riff,
‘Dominion & Power’ comes together to create a cohesive slab of dark metal with perfect flow, and an escalating sense of creepiness powered along by
Menchen’s
Ozzy-styled brooding vocals — both monotonous and hypnotic! Lyrically, the album gallops forth with doom n’ gloom, book of Revelation vintage apocalyptic themes countered with both salvation and redemption. Brilliant artwork by Finnish artist
Jan Yrlund only rounds out the thick, beefy production and unabashed heaviness unleashed by
THE SEVENTH POWER.”
