Alrihkh Spectacular album! Seventh Dimension really shine here. I’d say this is the crown jewel of all their achievements. They stay true to their drama-muse whilst boldly venturing into the realm of progressive metal, wherein they mount a grand pedestal of their own among those already triumphantly atop the columns of Metal’s Grand Colonnade of Masters. Sounding like the lovechild of Dream Theater, Symphony X, Opeth, and Huis. Vocals are a twin of Huis’ singer. Thanks, SD! 8.5+/10. Favorite track: Falling.

baudelagon Super heureux de vous retrouver: avec cette superbe couverture, ces compos toujours aussi exigeantes musicalement. En plus, vous avez le génie de proposer quelque chose de différent - c'est plus court, plus immédiat, mais toujours très bon. Bravo les gars, bon boulot !

Bad Blood 06:14
Allow me to shed some light On the darkest side of me It might be the only way To set me free I want to believe that you Made a sole mistake But I can't accept that poor excuse I do feel sorry for you Who am I to blame you? I believe that someone hurt you too (Bad blood leads to bad blood) But not for me (I won't turn out like you) Just wait and you'll see I will reminisce the past A time that's without you It comes down to That it's easy to forgive Though not as easy to forget I hope you'll understand ("I won't turn out like you") ("I won't turn out like you") ("I won't turn out like you") Ask of you an outreached hand Through my darkest hour And it wouldn't take too long Till you pulled back I'll keep on looking at you Same you ever was Doubt you'll ever change for any better Sadly this turned out to be A message of resentment Maybe one day you'll forgive me too (Bad blood leads to bad blood) But not for me (I won't turn out like you) Just wait and you'll see I will reminisce the past A time that's without you It comes down to That it's easy to forgive Though not as easy to forget I hope you'll understand I will reminisce the past A time that's without you It comes down to That it's easy to forgive Though not as easy to forget I hope you'll understand I will reminisce the past A time that's without you It's easy to forgive Though not as easy to forget I hope you feel regret

My ego has led me here Unhinged and let down A constant fear of the dark Uneasy all day and night Falling behind Pay my dues again Barely get by this time (No way to make amends now) I just wanna survive And live my life No hate, no lies One step closer I just wanna survive And kill the fire That burns my mind Taking two steps back I just wanna survive And live my life No hate, no lies One step closer I just wanna survive And kill the fire That burns my mind And I'm back at square one Afraid that frostbite will be my doom Always beneath freezing point My pride subdues me Faint heart and soul Losing my chance to bring back control Falling behind Pay the price again Barely get by this time (Keep on walking the fine line) I just wanna survive And live my life No hate, no lies One step closer I just wanna survive And kill the fire That burns my mind Taking two steps back And I'm stuck in the mud Where I belong My future's gone Flames are growing I got nowhere to run Nowhere to turn Can't change the past I am on the edge

Resurgence 05:04
Being exposed In front of words unknown Denial slowly fades away (It fades away) Always ruling from a self-built throne Suddenly brought to my knees The shadows now resurge My sphere of knowledge shatters Each shard of glass reveals The fallacies I've lived My thirst can't seem to quench For what's behind the veil Wisdom embraces me As my world falls apart Being challenged Left me scarred and scorned In my mind behind the bars (It's coming down) But suddenly Some light is shining through Like darkness needed to see the stars One last step In front of fear The greatest of illusions The shadows now resurge My sphere of knowledge shatters Each shard of glass reveals The fallacies I've lived My thirst can't seem to quench For what's behind the veil Wisdom embraces me As my world falls apart

Falling 05:25
To be in the moment To ride the sand What shall we do With this time on our hands? So many places Where we can go So many ways we can grow We search within our hearts We search within a God We look around for signs to reveal What it means to be alive What it means to dream and cry What it'll mean when we say goodbye Your path is only yours to decide Unveil the dreams that'll be your guide You'll find the answers within your mind The keys to prosperity It's when we find our peace in the storm That's when we know we are truly home Every heart is singing a song The start of a symphony [Seneca the Younger] ("Luck is what happens") ("When preparation meets opportunity") ("If a man knows not") ("To which port he sails") ("No wind is favourable") You may feel that you're lost in this maze But it's not about reaching the end It's all about the paths on the way Those moments each day Your path is only yours to decide Unveil the dreams that'll be your guide You'll find the answers within your mind The keys to prosperity It's when we find our peace in the storm That's when we know we are truly home Every heart is singing a song The start of a brand new day Oh Your path is only yours to decide Unveil the dreams that'll be your guide You'll find the answers within your mind The keys to prosperity It's when we find our peace in the storm That's when we know we are truly home Every heart is singing a song The start of a brand new day

We are heading for the stars Trail ablaze as we take off Now we're bound to this life (There is no turning back) Thermal engine pressure high Thrust to make us leave The exosphere far behind (Two hundred nights) (Two hundred nights) (Two hundred nights) What is time anyway? (Enter the night) (Enter the night) (Enter the night) A brief, bitter sense of fear (Two hundred nights) (Two hundred nights) (Two hundred nights) Like being born again (Enter the night) (Enter the night) (Enter the night) Into the void we now go Induced sleep we must survive From calculations we comply Enter torpor, enter night Booting the system shuts the light Black Sky Emaciated Waking up again Now realizing that we're close Sense of inertia and we see our goal Our time is nigh Breaching the skies Future's yours and mine

The sound of water The scent of trees In this world I've known Changed forever Since a dream Finally awake With open eyes now I look at this world My purpose was always within me Revaluations As hatred fades The beauty of each passing day I once lived for the end A life not more than trials The wasted gift of time I now bid thee farewell To the voice that never was He was never more but me He was nothing more but me

Incubus 09:39
Creaking noises A moonlit window Opening up a doorway Paralyzed in a catatonic State of dreaming Yet awake to witness Endlessly falling into the abyss The demon's whisper promising Secrets beyond the void So tempting My Incubus Only from the deepest of hell Can we gaze upon the divine face of God Every night of these cruel encounters Seduction turned into torture Wailing screams from The wraiths that circles His face turns monstrous My sanity fades Endlessly falling into the abyss No longer knowing If I’m awake or in a dream Seductive My Incubus Waking up in an infernal kingdom Only from the deepest of hell Can we gaze upon the divine face of God Once we've been scorched by infernal flames Can we lay our eyes on the light of our lord No longer alive, nor am I dead Caught in between worlds that linger beyond No longer alive, nor am I dead A never ending night of terror Only from the deepest of hell Can we gaze upon the divine face of God Once we've been scorched by infernal flames Can we lay our eyes on the light of our lord

about

After the double-CD concept album that was 'The Corrupted Lullaby', Seventh Dimension has this time chosen to go the opposite direction to contrast their previous release.

Influenced by bands such as 'Dream Theater', 'Opeth' and 'Symphony X', Seventh Dimension has this time aimed for an aggressive album packed with their heaviest side so far.

To deviate from some of their old habits, most of the songs brings a punch right from the get-go and maintains its heaviness throughout the song. This doesn't mean that the album is nothing but heaviness however, as there are a couple of tracks that will bring things down to give the album some dynamics and moments to breathe.

There are also a couple of songs that mixes this new direction with the classic storytelling style of the band, elevating some of the main themes of the album. But aside some of the fictional stories on the album, we also find some of the most personal lyrics from the band so far. It is a new, fresh and dark set of themes added to the library of Seventh Dimension's growing repertoire.
