Seven Thorns - II

Review by D Davis

Seven Thorns' sophomore album, II, is a true masterpiece of modern power metal. From the opening track, "Liberty," it is clear that the band has taken all the best elements of the genre and refined them into a cohesive and exciting package.

The album is full of soaring vocals, intricate guitar work, and thundering drums that all come together to create a sound that is both epic and accessible. The band's songwriting skills are on full display throughout the album, with each track building upon the last to create a truly memorable listening experience.

Standout tracks like "Through the Mirror," "Black Fortress," and "End of the Road" showcase the band's ability to combine catchy hooks with complex arrangements, resulting in songs that are both catchy and musically rewarding.
