Artist: SEVEN THORNS
Album: RETURN TO THE PAST (CD)

Release date: 2011
Media type: CD

Seven Thorns is power metal in its purest form; Catchy melodies, fast guitars and blasting drums are the key components on Return to the Past. Seven Thorns is aiming for the stars, with the awesome lead guitarist of At Vance, a giant within the power metal genre, Olaf Lenk, features on one of the certain hits, “Liberty”, with a frightening fast guitar solo. Many of the keyboard parts were played by the very skilled Mikkel Henderson (Fate, Evil Masquerade). And the icing on top is Mastering by the legendary, Danish power metal producer, Tommy Hansen. Reading the deeply inspiring lyrics on the album will reveal a distinct theme throughout the songs, regardless of whether about shattering a mirror, leaving the planet or just plainly fighting for a greater cause – look within yourself, find your inner strength and fight for what you believe in – don't let other people tell you how to life your live! The lyrics are written based on personal experience which clearly shines through and makes the songs so credible. Due to its mixture of both songs in major and minor keys, fast/ slow songs, darker themes and more encouraging ones, this album will definitely fall into the taste of any metal or rock lover. You will scream along on the epic choruses and blistering guitar solos.
