Progressive atmospheric death metallers 7 HORNS 7 EYES will release their debut full-length album, “Throes Of Absolution”, in North America on April 24 via Century Media Records. The CD, which features a guest appearance by guitarist Jeff Loomis (ex-NEVERMORE), has been many months in the making.

Commented 7 HORNS 7 EYES guitarist Aaron Smith: “7 HORNS 7 EYES has been on quite a journey since we embarked on recording this album, full of some big ups and downs — not the least of which being signed to Century Media/Basick Records, enduring a frontman change, re-recording all the album vocals, and sharing the stage with some great bands… and let me tell you — it feels amazing for us to know that we finally get to release this thing out into the world. Many of our fans have waited patiently for years for this record to drop, likely wondering at times if it ever even will, and we can’t thank them enough for sticking by us. Here’s to our fans and to 2012 being a great new year for 7 HORNS 7 EYES! See you on the road!”

A teaser trailer for “Throes Of Absolution” can be seen below..

The track listing for the CD is as follows:

01. Divine Amnesty
02. Phumis: The Falsehood of Affliction
03. The Hill Difficulty
04. Cycle of Self
05. Delusions
06. A Finite Grasp of Infinite Disillusion
07. Vindicator
08. The Winnowing
09. Regeneration

7 HORNS 7 EYES previously released a digital single, entitled “Convalescence”, which can be purchased on iTunes. In addition to the title track, the single also features two tracks from “Throes Of Absolution” (“Vindicator”, “The Winnowing”).

Former NEVERMORE Guitarist’s Cover Of Traditional Scottish Song (Audio)

A “metal” version of the traditional Scottish song “Auld Lang Syne” by former NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff Loomis and 7 HORNS 7 EYES axeman Aaron Smith can be streamed HERE.

Smith is producing Loomis‘s new solo album, which is currently being recorded for an early 2012 release via Century Media Records. The CD will feature a guest appearance by singer Christine Rhoades, who previously collaborated with NEVERMORE on the “Dreaming Neon Black” album. Shane Lentz will handle the bass.

“[Aaron] has been a friend for a while now and has helped me out with various recording projects over the years,” said Loomis.

Jeff‘ first solo album, “Zero Order Phase”, was released in September 2008 through Century Media Records.

“Auld Lang Syne” is a poem written by Robert Burns in 1788 and set to the tune of a traditional folk song. It is well known in many countries, especially (but far from exclusively) in the English-speaking world; its traditional use being to celebrate the start of the New Year at the stroke of midnight. By extension, it is also sung at funerals, graduations and as a farewell or ending to other occasions.

The song’s Scots title may be translated into English literally as “old long since”, or more idiomatically, “long long ago”, “days gone by” or “old times”. Consequently “For auld lang syne”, as it appears in the first line of the chorus, is loosely translated as “for (the sake of) old times.”
