Bury Tomorrow - The Seventh Sun

Label: Music For Nations Released: 31st March 2023

Some bands let creative standards slip in the wake of losing members, yet Bury Tomorrow’s first album without founding member and co-vocalist Jason Cameron passes quality control with flying colours.

If 2019’s ‘Cannibal’ was metalcore’s equivalent of the Mighty Meaty, ‘The Seventh Sun’ takes a Saturday night standard and livens it up. Incoming guitarist Ed Hartwell and co-vocalist and keyboardist Tom Prendergast inject depth to their flavour profile; stuffing their crust with sweetened synths (‘Abandon Us’), enriching their sauce with sumptuous string sections (‘Wrath’), and delivers a defining deep dish vocal base for chorus’ to keep in your mind forever that perfectly compliment Dani Winter-Bates’ distinctive roar (‘Majesty’, ‘Heretic’).
