SEVEN KINGDOMS Cap Milestone Year with Cover of MR. MISTER’s ‘Kyrie’

2024 was a milestone year for Florida power metallers SEVEN KINGDOMS. Not only did they sign with a new label, Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), but they also headlined an extensive North American tour and released their new EP, “The Square.” In addition, the band have garnered widespread critical acclaim, with the title track of “The Square” being named a top track by Metal Hammer UK and an exclusive EP premiere at Decibel Magazine.

To celebrate, they’ve released a video for their fan-favourite cover of MR. MISTER‘s ‘Kyrie.’ The cover stays true to the original 80s while adding SEVEN KINGDOMS‘ unique twist. The video features the band enjoying their travels on tour and having fun at every band’s favourite location, Buc-ees!

The band comment: “‘Kyrie’ is a cover song chosen by one of our faithful kickstarter backers. We started doing them a few years ago as an option on our kickstarters for fun and to show the musical flexibility of the band. I (Sabrina) have always enjoyed going out to sing karaoke or covering my favourite songs (I used to post myself singing them before copyright infringement issues took the fun out of it). This was a fun song to sing and I feel the lyric content is very on point for bands that go on tour. Kyrie translates to ‘Lord have mercy’ which when driving all around the world at all hours of the day and night, amongst responsible and non responsible people, we put our lives on the line every second we are on the road. I often refer to highways as ‘The river of idiots’ which can be anyone at any given moment.”

“The Square [EP]” is out now on all streaming services. The EP is also available on both vinyl and CD formats. All physical copies are limited edition and signed by the band. Stream/purchase here: https://sevenkingdoms.rpm.link/thesquarePR

About SEVEN KINGDOMS

SEVEN KINGDOMS, a power metal band hailing from Deland, FL, were formed in 2007. After solidifying their lineup in 2009, the band signed with Nightmare Records and began gaining momentum in the metal scene. Their big break came in 2010 when they were handpicked by BLIND GUARDIAN to support their North American tour, which introduced SEVEN KINGDOMS to a wider audience. Following this, they played notable tours and festivals, including ProgPower USA and the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, while releasing “The Fire Is Mine” in 2012, which marked a pivotal moment in their career with its refined sound and strong reception. In recent years, SEVEN KINGDOMS have continued to expand their reach with international tours alongside acts like STRATOVARIUS, AMARANTHE and EVERGREY. The band’s latest full-length album, “Zenith” [2022], was released through Distortion Music Group, further cementing their place in the power metal world. With their 2024 EP, “The Square,” and signed to Reigning Phoenix Music, SEVEN KINGDOMS continue to elevate their status in the global metal scene.
