Rising from the ashes of former hard-rock heavyweights Panic Cell, melodic heavy metallers Seven Deadly (which includes former members of the aforementioned band) have already received accolades from the likes of Metal Hammer, Terrorizer and Classic Rock magazine.

The five piece clearly aren’t afraid of a few screams, as ‘Blood on your hands’, the first single from their debut album ‘Obliviation’ proves. There’s a ferocious energy behind the track that, with any luck, should translate into a must-have album for all you metal-heads out there.

These guys clearly have a love for the classic rock catalogue, but they’re bringing a fresh feel to the genre, mixing growling vocals and power chords with eerie melodies for a sound that rises far above the standard metalcore output.

‘Obliviation’ is out on February 23rd.
