It’s a huge week for Seven Hours After Violet. The rising supergroup made their live debut this past Monday, October 7th, during an in-studio set for SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal.
Fast forward to today (October 11th), and they’ve officially released their self-titled debut album alongside the music video for their track “Cry…”. The band is now gearing up for their first full-scale live performance, set to take place this Saturday (October 12th) at the returning Mayhem Fest. The event will be held at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino, CA.
Leading the group is Shavo Odadjian of System Of A Down, with an impressive lineup that includes Taylor Barber (Left To Suffer) on vocals, guitarist/producer Michael “Morgothbeatz” Montoya (Winds Of Plague, etc.), ‘American Idol’ runner-up Alejandro Aranda (aka Scarypoolparty) on guitars/vocals, and Josh Johnson (Winds Of Plague, etc.) on drums.
The band offered the following regarding the track:
“‘Cry‘ captures the agony of trying to hold onto something that’s already broken, that inevitable downfall when love turns into torment. It’s about being locked in a space of emotional suffocation, where every attempt to hold on only pulls you further into the abyss. This is the pain we wanted to channel—a song for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re drowning in their own emotions.”
Odadjian shared his personal thoughts on the track:
“This record is everything I’ve wanted to put out for years. It’s heavy, it’s melodic, it’s vulnerable, and, at times, completely chaotic. With ‘Cry,’ we wanted to create something that rips you apart emotionally—both sonically and lyrically. This album is our collective truth, and we’re very excited for the world to finally hear it.”
