As the track `Nocturnal Fist` drills down into your grey matter at a slow and even pace you realise the gods of doom are back. Let it be told that the spawning of Black Sabbath fly the flag like no other! `Seventh Coming` delivers an album of epic proportions catapulting me back to what `true metal` stands for. There is no need for 3 guitarist and 2 bassists, 4 drummers, samplers and a plethora of makeup and/or masks. A simple but so effective system of 4 rumbling machines destroying all in their path equipped with a battery of ammunition no longer seen in music today.
Brain Dixon leads the attack my murdering a drum kit surely armour plated for this exercise. Lee Smee thunders along with bass lines that equal a good 11 on the Richter scale. Gaz Jennings` enigmatic guitar style shreds through with marksman precision. No way better to compliment a formidable armoury than with the recognisable yet eccentric vocals of Lee Dorian```..ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, `this is how metal should be played, no frills, no bells and whistles!`
A little short with only 10 tracks but maybe I`m just greedy! Killer tracks that cause just that extra bit of damage; `Carnival Bizarre`, `Empty Mirror`.
If there`s only one album you add to your collection for Xmas. Let it be this one!
