JULY 2010_____________________________________________________________________________________________________DEBUT CD RELEASED

KATVAI ARTS PRESS RELEASE - Mythically inspired 4 piece progressive metal band Seven Against Thebes (7AT) hails from Seattle, WA. In the Summer of 2010 the band finally released their long anticipated self titled debut CD. The CD is a strong statement from start to finish with musical textures reminiscent of Tool, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, and Deftones. The band originally formed back in 2007 by guitarist Cyrus Rhodes, drummer Bruce Burgess, bassist "Mr. Black" and vocalist "Little Rusty" formerly of Knucklebone. 7AT guitarist/songwriter Cyrus explained in a recent interview that the music of 7AT is merely a musical platform for his own personal misanthropy ( strong dislike of the human species) but that Seven Against Thebes is also a metaphor for good vs evil. Many of the songs compare the struggles of ancient man to modern man. The music of 7AT has been described as dark, thought provoking, and melodic. The 3 singles from the CD; "Equilibrium", "Nemesis", and "Swandiver" will hit the airways in early July 2010.
