7 Angels 7 Plagues

[Fruitacious B]

Maybe I'm getting a little thread happy these days, and pretty soon it will probably come to bite me in the ass because I'll create a thread that's already been done. Thread happy or not, I'm making this one. I was recently inspired by reading Pliedes Review/Tribute to At Peace While Burning to create something similar to that about another noteworthy hardcore band. Now while I haven't been listening to hardcore for too long, I do believe myself to know at least a little about the genre. At least enough to determine a good hardcore band from a bad one. That in mind, everyone (that at least semi-digs hardcore) should listen to.........

<font size="6">7 Angels 7 Plagues</font>

Fast beats, rhythm changes, soulfull screaming, and a badass band name to boot, what more could you ask for? Well, maybe for them to have not broken up, but that's life. 7A7P is badass on the level of At Peace Whilst Burning. Here's some facts and other shit that most of you will probably just skip over anyway, fuckers.

Formed in 2000, 7A7P consisted of:
Matt Matera (guitar, Adriell and Dead to Fall{victory records})
Matt Mixon (vocals, xFor Death or Glory)
Ryan Morgan(guitar, Mysery Signals{ferret records})
Kyle Johnson (bass, Mysery Signals)
Jared Logan (drums, currently innactive).

7A7P released two Cd's and they're also a part of a hardcore compilation.
Until the Day Breathes and the Shadows Flee(2000)
Jhazmyne's Lullaby(2001)
A Testament to Broken Walls - compilation featuring unreleased tracks from Zao, End This Day, 7A7P, and others.

I've yet to hear all of the 7A7P songs, there are about three I can't seem to find, but I intend to solve that once I purchase the cds. As of now my top recommendations for songs to download include
"Away With Words"
"Dandelion"
"Silent Deaths, Crowded Lives"

After breaking up in the summer of 2002, all of the members except the drummer went out into new bands. Most of which have also become relatively popular. Dead to Fall will be playing in Northern Indiana near the end of this month, and Misery Signals recently signed to ferret records. Of the two, I've been digging Misery Signals more. They keep most of the elements that were present in the 7A7P sound, but still add a new dimension as well. Misery Signals is definitely worth the download, they sound a lot like a cross between Norma Jean and Poison the Well.

On a final note, 7A7P also had badass artwork (see avatar). Enjoy.

7 Angels 7 Plagues is a very good band. I haven't heard anything except the songs on Jhazmyne's Lullaby but What I've heard is fantastic. Misery signals is an awesome band too, I'm looking forward to their Ferret records Debut.

Good band, good thread, more later.

Wow. 7 Angels 7 Plagues. Back when I was still a Junior, I was directed to Jhazmyne's Lullaby and even though I really didn't like any hardcore at the time, this was an enjoyable listen. I didn't care for every song, but I loved some of the melodic elements and shit like that.

I guess 7 Angels 7 Plagues could be considered my first foray into the world of hardcore. A world of which I have yet to immerse myself, and probably never will, but I still enjoy it from time to time.

I'm so glad that you could get on and tell us that you're going to tell us more later. I've been sitting here for the past half hour clutching the arms of my chair, praying to God Almighty Himself that you would get on here before my blood capsules burst and at least let me know that you were going to make a future post at a later date. I was so worried that you'd never get on, or that you'd never see this thread and never post in it. I'm so happy. Fortuna me servavit.

"Thank you so much."

"Glad I could help."

If I would've just said "good band" would that have sufficed regardless?

[Titan]

Yes, that would have sufficed as being equally worthless.

And your one line banter isn't?

Wait... Damn it all.

[Pliedes]

Well, it's a good thing you made two more posts to talk about how worthless it is then.

"Not to mention" banter is good humoured, playful conversation. That one-liner was a serious and right-forth developed response to a specific question.

The second of which was only caused by your own worthless redundancy. Much like this one, except it was an actualy question, as stated.

So back to the topic at hand, 7A7P is in fact a relatively good hardcore band. While not one of my favorites by any means, they have aspects about them which make me thoroughly enjoy listening to them. Having been going to shows for awhile now, I remember a time when they came to Warsaw quite often, as did the band Deadtofall, whom I have been listening to for close to 4 years now. Like I said, both great bands to check out if you are at all interested in hardcore music. But if you are interested because it's trendy now, then you're a stupid fuck.

Haste the Day is good. Ever hear of them? If not, you should.
'Who We Are'
'Substance'
'Many Waters'
'Epitaph' [Instrumental]

Haste the Day is good, my friend. While I have not heard enough of them to call myself a dedicated fan, I have heard enough to know that they kick ass. Hooray.
