Today, I'm going to tell you about the band called Seven Sorrows.

This is the bio I pulled off of reverbnation.com Incidentally, this is where you can download some of their songs for free.

"Seven Sorrows is a Catholic band unashamed toproclaim the truth of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church. We are proudto be conservative, bound to the Holy Father, faithful to the Magisterium,consecrated to the Immaculate and Sorrowful Heart of Mary, and we are notafraid to speak against that which goes against Catholic beliefs, such asabortion, contraception, pornography, premarital sex, immodest dress,drunkenness, etc."
They are considered a Catholic metal band, but I think they createsomething beyond any easy genre classification. Check out their website.
I love their logo. You can see it at their site, right here.

I'll pick just two songs to review for you.
"Forgotten Virtue part 1" combines raw metalwith  what I'll describe as a sort of alternative/indie sound. Guttural and melodious vocals combineto present poetic lyrics on the theme of dignity and modest dress. Here is ataste of the lyrics:
Claim to want respect
Then you must change your ways
Your clothes are revealing and all they show is shame
Check out "Forgotten Virtue part 1" on youtube.
"Saints and Sinners" is my favorite of theirsongs. It portrays Jesus' raw, pure, love. For some reason it reminds me of howpassionate for my babies I felt right after giving birth. You know, when you're sweaty and exhausted, but exhilarated, and you just want to hold, gaze at, and protect your babies? Oh man, you feel the same way when your babies grow up and become runaway teens. (Trust me on this.) Then, I'm reminded of howmuch more God loves than we humans ever could and I'm blown away. Anyway, that's how I feel about that song.

A sample of the lyrics:
You may trip
You may stumble
You may fall
But I don't want to watch you burn
I will suffer for you
Go to youtube to experience this "Saints and Sinners" for yourself.  
Here's a more eloquent review of "SevenSorrows" at CatholicMetal. I'm no music reviewer (as you've probably gathered), but I know what I likeand I enjoy sharing it.

Oh, I nearly forgot, you can also listen to Seven Sorrowson the catholic etc. music player.
