Hailing from Worcester and Birmingham UK, The Seventh Cross formed in the summer of 2004 by ex-members of such bands as The Murder or Rosa Luxemburg and Murder One. Not enjoying the style of “music” that they were purveying in each of their respective previous bands, the ex-members came together to form The Seventh Cross, playing a blend of music which all of them truly love and feel passionate about. The band also features current members of Tolkien themed metal warriors Shards Of Narsil, Birmingham based old school hardcore heroes Your Life Is A Grave and Worcester's newest metalcore mob Broken Promise.
And so the band came together all sharing a mutual love for Scandinavian, Gothenburg style death metal, tuff hardcore and brutal metalcore. Many hours were spent in the rehearsal room writing material which seamlessly blended the different musical styles…
The Seventh Cross was born!!
Having developed a solid, devastating set of songs they recorded their first full length album entitled Scorched By The Flames Of Vengeance which was initially released on the Welsh hardcore label Staunch Records (who have put out records for bands such as Of Noble Blood and Dignity Dies First), then the band were approached by the legendary Candlelight Records (home to such legendary bands as Emperor, Crowbar, Enslaved, 1349 and Zyklon). In December of 2005 the band signed a deal with Candlelight. This will see Scorched By The Flames Of Vengeance re-mixed, re-mastered and re-released on Candlelight Worldwide in early 2006. The band have started writing their second full length album, which will be released Winter 2006.
