Sevendials announce debut album ‘A Crash Course In Catastrophe’ to be released April 4th on Cadiz Music/Creation Youth Music.
Renowned musicians MARK GEMINI THWAITE, BIG PAUL FERGUSON & CHRIS CONNELLY, uninterested in resting on their collective laurels as members of KILLING JOKE, THE MISSION, MINISTRY, REVOLTING COCKS, MURDER INC, MOB RESEARCH and PETER MURPHY, have united to bring you a staggering monolith of melody and malady, volume and velocity and a brace of brilliant songs, reflecting all the tension, angst and spiritual bankruptcy of the times, along with some brighter than neon dance compulsions: It’s all here in ‘A CRASH COURSE IN CATASTROPHE’, the debut album by SEVENDIALS
The album boots into life with a high-energy cover of SPARKS hit from 1979, ‘Number One Song In Heaven’, “The band are all fans of the Mael Brothers, and with Sparks recently being awarded the outstanding contribution to music award at the AIM awards, they decided to take the song that bled out and showered the dance floor back then, updating it with muscular guitars and thunderous drums. It’s now a 2025 declaration of (disco) intent, “yeah: they can dance as well as rock, they do it fast to beat the clock.”
It perfectly sets the tone for an album that throbs with dark electronica, pounding rock and shimmering bad acid psychedelia, all juxtaposed with the kind of addictive hooks and melodies that embed themselves deep within your subconscious. From the grinding, moody power of ‘Knife Without Asking’ (kicked into gear with an epic riff by MGT, paying homage to recently departed high priest of guitar Killing Joke’s Geordie Walker), to the gorgeous backwoods stomp of ‘Whispering Wand’, ‘A CRASH COURSE IN CATASTROPHE’ is eclectic, compulsive and thrilling from start to finish.
