Consisting of two sets of brothers and a guitarist that's not related to any of the other four dudes, and taking their moniker from a reference to Revelation 5:6, this Seattle, WA band self-released this six-song EP in 2007.  For a self-released project, I must say I am rather impressed at the clean and tight production on here; meaning this could have been a label-financed recording, it coulda fooled me.  The music is of the modern extreme metal variety, falling in with bands like Demon Hunter, Lamb Of God and War Of Ages.  The metal is brutal, down tuned and heavy, with very little in way of leads.  The vocals are shared, with Kyle Wood handling the tough-guy death vox, while guitarist Aaron Smith handles the clean emo vox.  And that's what keeps me from really, really liking this release.  I'm not a big fan of that kind of metal; my motto is "get yer emo out of my METAL!"  Well, it would be if I actually had a motto to speak of.  Regardless, this self-titled EP from 7 Horns 7 Eyes is a good start for the boys.  The lyrics are very bold and upfront in their faith in Christ Jesus, I like that.  Otherwise, this is a 6-song collection of melodic death metal / metalcore that's heavy and...that's about it.  Not bad, but then again nothing too memorable.  Here's to bigger things for the guys in the future...
