We just uploaded three new songs to our page! These songs are not "real" recordings, but they are pre-production versions that we've been working on for quite some time, and we decided that it was finally time to let you all hear them. Please let us know what you think!
Thank you and take care.

Hello metal fans! Welcome to our brand new fancy-dancy news box, the cool hangout spot where you will be able to keep up with all of the current happenings of 7H7E. I figured it made more sense to start writing our news out in the open, rather than continuing to bury it away in blogs and assume that everyone would click on it!
At the moment there are a couple cool things to announce. First of all, the biggest piece of news is that we finally have a fresh batch of merchandise for sale! Just click below to head on over to our online store:
As a bonus, if you place an order before Saturday April 19th, you will also recieve a free copy of our self-titled EP! Already own the EP? Good; give the free one away to someone who needs it. Just be sure you don't pass up the opportunity, because how often are you offered a free CD that's actually worth your time?!
We also moved into a new practice space recently, which is larger and is better suited to our needs. We have been diligently rehearsing and working on new material for several weeks now, and things are shaping up quite nicely. I can't wait to show you what we've written! It is also highly likely that we will be making a switch from six-string guitars to seven-strings, as I experimented with writing that way earlier this year (for no particular reason) and we collectively realized after a couple practices how much we were enjoying it. Brandon will continue using his five and six-string basses as usual, with a slightly different tuning.
Other than that, we've got some really cool possible show opportunities brewing, but more news on those later.
That's all for now! Don't forget to swing by our online store so you can be the first person in your state with a 7H7E shirt :)
Take care.
Christian. Metal. When these words that seemingly conflict are placed together, they represent a category of music that has long been debated, misunderstood, and criticized by both the church and by mainstream society. Realistically, the surrounding controversy is likely to never be put to rest, but for 7 Horns 7 Eyes, it is a position that occurs comfortably and naturally. "It's simply about being honest" states guitarist Aaron Smith. "Every artist has some kind of subject matter to write about that is important to them, and for us, there is nothing more important to speak of than than the fullness that can be found in knowing Jesus Christ." This transparent approach is crucial, as it leaves room for the listener to connect at whatever level they choose, without straining respect for the differing beliefs amongst the band's fanbase.
7 Horns 7 Eyes has not only shown that metal can indeed host a Christian perspective, but that the combination can be done well. With influences ranging from Van Halen to Arch Enemy, Jimmy Eat World to The Acacia Strain, hear and see for yourself by picking up their self-titled EP!
