Frontiers Records has announced the release of the debut album from the Swedish progressive metal hopefuls SEVEN TEARS entitled In Every Frozen Tear on December 7th.

Previously known as ATLANTICA (whose debut demo gathered a great response on the Sweden Rock Magazine) the band went through several changes which established the band with the current lineup of Jonathan Carlemar (guitars), Fredrik Lager (bass), Kristofer von Wachenfeldt (keyboards, PLATITUDE), Michael Sjöö (drums, SPEARFISH) and Zoran Djorem (vocals).

Signed in early 2007 on Frontiers on the basis of their last demo tape The Story Unfolds, Seven Tears entered the studio under the guidance of Peter Lundin (Spearfish).

“To get a deal with the Frontiers label and the opportunity to release an album is something that we all have dreamed of since the day we first picked up our instruments” says axeman Jonathan Carlemar, “We are very satisfied with the songs and are looking forward to hear what people think about them!”.

“Our music style” continues Carlemar, “can be described as Melodic Metal with a lot of influences from the 80’s and with some prog elements. The album contains strong melodies, heavy riffs and great musicianship. The heavy ”Hollow Ground”, the ballad ”All Alone” and the epic ”Truth of Tomorrow” are songs that makes a multifaced record”.

In Every Frozen Tear will include the following tracks: 'Twist Of Fate', 'Faded Memory', 'Hollow Ground', 'Reflections; Sorrows', 'All Alone', 'In Every Frozen Tear', 'Prayer For The Dying', 'The Story Unfolds', 'Dream Of Insanity', 'Fragments', 'Truth Of Tomorrow'.

Samples of the upcoming album will also be available at www.myspace.com/seventearsmusic.

“The mixture of melodic heavy metal and the strong melodies from the 80’s is a modern and interesting hybrid that will please fans of melodic/heavy metal. And it’s much cooler to buy the record instead of downloading it!” concludes Jonathan Carlemar, and definitely this is an album set to please all the fans of EVERGREY, LAST TRIBE and SYMPHONY X with hints to the sound of TNT, JOURNEY and PRETTY MAIDS.
