Recently Nightmare records inked a deal with Seven Kingdoms to release their upcoming "self titled" album Seven Kingdoms due to hit streets July 13th worldwide via Nightmare Records and associated distribution partners.
Nightmare Records owner and prog power vocalist Lance King was impressed with the bands vocal siren Sabrina Valentine, her unique, warm and melancholic melodic sense combined with this speedy power metal band should please fans that are into the sound of Evanesence, Nightwish, Iced Earth, Within Temptation, Epica and Blind Guardian. Seven Kingdoms was formed in Deland, Florida in 2007 by Camden Cruz and Bryan Edwards. After forming the bands initial lineup they entered Morrisound Recording Studios in August 2007 they finished production on their debut self financed independent release, "Brothers of the Night" lyrically inspired from the literary works of George R. Martin.
Playing shows throughout the southeastern region of the United States, the band share the stage with bands Sonata Arctica, The Agonist, Stephen Pearcey, Circle II Circle. In 2009 the band solidified their lineup and the new and improved Seven Kingdoms finished their self titled sophomore effort again at the well known Morrisound Studios.

Seven Kingdoms self-titled CD packs a punch with blistering leads and searing backbeats. The female lead vocals are soaring and perfectly fit the music, unlike many other wanna-be bands trying to accomplish this style. A great release.

After the eerie, symphonic "Prelude" spills directly into the crushingly rapid riff that begins "Somewhere Far Away," you'll feel this music tightening its grip on you, and it'll be an hour before you're let go. With a sound that strategically blends the tight, pummeling speed of Blind Guardian and the heavily melodic vocal approach of Nightwish, this Florida band has their chops in order and the songwriting skills to match. I could ramble on about how lead singer Sabrina Valentine adds a feminine touch to this normally male-dominated genre, but it's not about that. She's got a voice that - especially when paired up with bassist Miles Neff's growls - simply does a great job of taking the music to the next level and propelling it along. And that's what you need from a powerful group like this. And like any metal band who knows how to do it right, they take notes from the old stuff, work in the new stuff, and arrive at a sound that's not going to come off as dated any time soon. Give it a shot. This group clearly spent a lot of time crafting these songs, and they deserve to be heard. And come on: that cover art is awesome.
