Their full-length debut album � "The Torment" � delivers a powerful dose of prime thrash metal madness, complete with a meaningful message. Recorded at the Mad Hat Studios in Wolverhampton and produced by Paul Hodson, the album proved to be a truly amazing piece. Beginning with the opening track "Tormented Forever", the LP introduced a perfect blend of sharp riff*ge, catchy melodies and passionate vocals (Ian's voice was often compared by the reviewers to a "heavier and darker version of Dave Mustaine"). Such songs as "I of the Needle", "Dr. Hatchet" and ""Locked up in Chains" make up for a fast and deadly thrash experience, especially for fans of Xentrix, Sodom or Violence. But the biggest highlight of "The Torment" is the 10-minute epic masterpiece "Katie", full of astounding solos and beautiful acoustic passages. Along with the short closing tune "Epilogue", it stands as a perfect ending for such a remarkable album. Also the lyrics deserved attention, as most of the songs was inspired by passages from the Book of Revelations, chapter 9. All in all, "The Torment" proved to be a very promising debut and Seventh Angel's first step towards world-wide success. New digipack edition of the LP includes 1 bonus track.
The band's second album, "Lament for the Weary", was recorded in the ICC studios in Eastbourne, between July 4th and 16th, 1991. This time the production duties were given to Roy Rowland. The album was even more powerful and intense than the debut release, bringing a tasty dose of prime heavy material. Such tracks as "Life in all its Emptiness" and "No Longer a Child" instantly brought the listener back to the good old days of thrash metal insanity. Ian Arkley's vocals became even more passionate, same with the lyrics. Seventh "Lament for the Weary" received a handful of positive reviews from critics and fans, becoming Seventh Angel's finest offering yet. New digipack edition of the album includes 1 bonus track.
