Seven Impale - Summit (CD)
From Our Friends at Karisma Records
Since the release of Seven Impale’s 2016 album Contrapasso, a lot of things have happened in the lives of the band’s members. Some of those things, like having kids and finishing your education, are the sort of things that happen to most people. Others, like vocalist/guitarist Stian graduating from the Grieg Academy as an opera singer and launching an international career, and keyboard player Håkon joining Enslaved, are a little less run of the mill.
But, throughout these eventful seven years, Seven Impale was kept simmering in the background, and now, the long-awaited third full-length album is ready to make its very welcome appearance. Titled Summit, the album can remind fans of what they have been missing.
Summit features Seven Impale distinctive style which blends jazz and progressive rock with more heavy influences. By limiting itself to four juggernaut tracks, and coming in at close to 45 minutes, Summit doesn’t leave behind the madness of their previous albums but rather gives the music and lyrics the space and time needed to captivate and dazzle its listeners.
“In many ways, Summit is both clever and thoughtful but also filled with magnificently mad and charmingly bonkers ideas that constitute a most pleasing and enjoyable listening experience. Welcome back, guys.”
