The band 7 th REIGN was formed in January 2005 by Marios Panayiotis and
Brian Soulard. (ex- EIDOLON vocalist)
They started off with one goal, to form the kind of band that they
would want to hear and see live. They were not worried about current
trends or past influences but instead concentrated on creating good
music that would cross many themes and styles but was built on the best
form of music……METAL!!
Marios and Brian were introduced in April 2004 by MEGADETH/EIDOLON
guitarist Glen Drover. Glen knew that the two were exactly what the
other was searching for. It took another eight months for them to
figure it out!!
Once they decided that they were destined to play together they started
to form the early foundation of 7 th REIGN. After writing and recording
for six months they realized it was time to finish the forming of 7 th
REIGN. By September of 2005 they had found the pieces of the puzzle
that they needed. Drummer Niall Mellors and bass player Dave Davidson
(Fuz z) completed the band. Over the next four months they rehearsed
new songs and refined existing ones. In January of 2006, they played
their debut gig at the Opera House in Toronto to a packed house in
support of Finnish Metal band SONATA ARCTICA. The overwhelming response
from the Metal crowd confirmed that the band was on the right track.
Although 7 th REIGN was excited to start playing live they knew that it
was also time to start focusing all of their attention on recording
their debut album. During this process Fuz z informed the band that he
was on the move and needed to leave the band. Although they were
saddened at the news of his departure they were excited to welcome new
band member Adrian Robichaud (EIDOLON). Brian and Adrian had played
together on four albums and the band knew that the addition of Adrian
would bring them to a whole new level of technical skill and
professionalism.
7 th REIGN is a POWER METAL band that has a great amount of technical
ability and a theatrical sound. Their self-titled debut album is filled
with fast double bass, shredding guitar solos, soaring vocal lines and
passionate lyrics. It is available now through www.7threign.com With
another full album in demo format and a wealth of ideas already being
worked on,
7 th REIGN promises to be a force within the METAL community for a long
time to come!!!
