From Press Release –
On May 16th, 2024, SEVEN SPIRES shared the video for their new single, “The Old Hurt of Being Left Behind“. This is the third single from their upcoming studio album A Fortress Called Home to be released June 21st via Frontiers Music SRL.
Frontwoman Adrienne Cowan had this to share about the track:
“This was the first song we wrote for ‘A Fortress Called Home.’ It grew from a poignant piano piece from my idea vault, and was rooted in the music and story of Edward Elgar’s ‘Sospiri, op. 70.’ It’s a piece that I often felt sounded like the pain of falling in love. And — I find there is something so fragile and quietly beautiful in the wrenching agony of truly baring one’s soul to another. Inspired by that juxtaposition, Jack and I brought our best to capture hope in pain, melody in chaos, and that softness in brutality.
Basically, I think the title says it all.”
A Fortress Called Home is SEVEN SPIRES’ fourth studio album is the highly-anticipated follow-up to Gods of Debauchery (2021) and takes their signature blend of symphonic power and extreme metal to new heights, dragging the listener to the deepest abysses in the process.
Adrienne Cowan provides some insight to the album:
“I visited the void twice while writing this album. I don’t know which begat the other. It’s ugly. I love it and I hate it, and I think it’s our best work yet.”

Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world with strikingly emotional filigree and relentless technical prowess. Known as much for their melancholic concept albums as their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, cinematic soundscapes, and more.
