Free Music Notes for Lament for the Weary
Free Music Review: A thrash classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Recorded in two weeks in Eastbourne, between sunbathing sessions, the second studio album, with a cover specially commissioned from Rodney Matthews, is altogether more sombre and mature than the previous recordings. This is an album that repays repeated listenings and is best appreciated once the songs have become familiar friends. Once given a toehold these tunes are likely to become permanent residents before you know it.
Tuned down to D, the band developed a tighter sound and explored more complex song structures and lyrics. The album tells the story of a man's life that has changed for the worse since childhood, where he had suffered from abuse. Living a life that now seems hopeless, depression and suicidal thoughts plague him. Halfway though the album his reflections have brought him to a point where he must make a choice to either live or die. By reclaiming his early childhood faith he at last regains strength and hope. Later, on his deathbed, he is no longer afraid to die.
Lament For The Weary is a record of Seventh Angel at it's peak and a true masterpiece. The guitar work led one reviewer to declare that the album contains some of the best guitar solos he had ever heard. The eye of the storm is the title track with its unexpected gentle melody perfectly capturing the spirit of the album.
Around this time Seventh Angel continued extensive touring of the UK and even as far afield as Germany, building a fan base that still remains today. At the time further recordings were expected but soon after a final tour of Germany and Holland in 1992 the band split leaving the growing number of Seventh Angel fans gnashing their teeth at their unexpected loss. American fans would have been particularly disappointed, as a US tour had never taken place.
Now the band has reformed (2008) the first 2 studio albums have been remastered by Metal Mind, sounding better than all previous versions on CD (the last 'remastered' versions actually sounded worse than the originals!) & the long awaited third album is on the way...
Lament for the Weary Poster
Only one year after their groundbreaking debut release, Seventh Angel unleashed this thrash metal masterpiece upon a very unsuspecting world. The band's 1991 release is generally slower, but heavier than The Torment. As the album title indicates, Lament For the Weary is a concept album which lyrically focuses on how we deal with lifelong depression and pain... Haunting musically and lyrically, don't be surprised if Lament For the Weary sends chills down your back. Rarely does a thrash metal band hit the bullseye so definitively. And rarely is a band able to augment full on shredding with mellow, subtle moments the way Seventh Angel triumphs on Lament... Get it now before this classic metal release goes out of print again!Alternative Rock Music CDs
