Seventh Storm – Maledictus 2022

The omnipresence of death in the midst of flourishing life and creativity is the focus of SEVENTH STORM new cd Maledictus . Mike Gaspar, who for almost 30 years set the rhythm on the main Portuguese metal galley Moonspell, has finally found a new outlet to celebrate his love of heavy metal,

his cultural heritage and his passion for untamed, wild music, its roots reach deep into the fabric of our world. Here rises a hungry band that has given their soul for their music. “I wanted to write an album that fans of all cultures could say, ‘this is for me?’” he says of the primary drive behind Maledictus. “My dream was to bring back some of that innocent nineties touch while mixing traditional Portuguese music with metal.” With influences ranging from Bathory to Samael, Tiamat, Paradise Lost, Fields of the Nephilim, Cradle of Filth and Dead Can Dance to Van Halen or Mötley Crüe, SEVENTH STORM are just beginning their journey through the wild and wondrous waters of heavy metal history. And while it’s not a concept album, “Maledictus” is driven by a strong sense of…
held together by pain and anger coupled with a flickering hope of forgiveness for our lives.
