You’re welcome to the world of Seven, if you dare. Highly experimental, bold and impressive–this is the making of a genre that started to take the world by storm by the 2010s. Djent, you might know it as a dominating chug of heavy sound that breaks melodies into tiny fractions. From starting this project in 2001 to the journeys that have been travelled in all these years, we’re treated to an album that will significantly shift your perspective. This is called Interdimensional Acts III Shadows in the Sky .
Something you must understand about this music is the realms it can take you to. You’re dropped into a wormhole of all consuming energy and devout melodic inscriptions. This is an experienced musician, Seven isn’t an indie project that blossomed yesterday. Like igneous rock, there is millennium spent in garnering what makes this kind of music. Opening the album with Shadows in the Sky, you’re dragged into a palette of amazing sound signature changes and a gravity you might not be able to hold on to. The riffs are leaden, they sizzle, trying to almost burn up the atmosphere like an incoming comet.

Instrumental movements are deliberate, creating pockets of tone and sound that will craft the theme of the song with purpose. It is an epic single to open with, more than 9 minutes long, you’re expected to know where the narrative is going to take you, if you dare. Rift is the next song, and here too–you’re shown what the frets of the guitar are trying to say. There is natural, organic buildup that asks for patience, not for nothing, though. This is where music becomes a part of Seven and the soul behind this incredible solo project.
Like Sleep Token, you’re waiting for what the harmonies are saying, along with the lyrics having that depth–leaving a symphonic scar that draws you closer. Contrasts are played with due to the merge of heavy and soft–especially in how the vocals are produced. Seven makes artwork out of silence, searching for heavier matters to shower upon us. Realisation is bleak, nothing that is true is always comfortable. This is the music that inspires, while making a statement that is original, charismatic and enjoyable.

Songs like Obsidian Sphere puncture this veil that you might have created about the kind of music that you’re hearing. It isn’t exactly within a genre bubble, but a series of thought as an endeavour. The drums especially lead you on into different pathways, neurally tantalising you to feel a crevice of thought you don’t feel like escaping. It is the genesis of a new chapter of music, and has been solidified with the effort put into producing and performing on an album like this.
In 11 songs, you’re taken through an experience more than an hour long. Seven has pushed the envelope from the previous album Interdimensional Act II and proceeded this journey through space with panache.

Self professed metalhead, moderately well read. If the music has soul, it's whole to me. The fact that my bio could have ended on a rhyme and doesn't should tell you a lot about my personality.
