American symphonic/progressive metal band Seven Spires has shared “The Old Hurt of Being Left Behind,” the third single from its upcoming album “A Fortress Called Home,” due June 21, 2024, via Frontiers Music Srl (pre-order here). The track is accompanied by a new music video, available below.
“This was the first song we wrote for ‘A Fortress Called Home,'” frontwoman Adrienne Cowan said. “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,” Seven Spires’ fourth studio album, is the follow-up to ‘2021’s “Gods of Debauchery.”
“I visited the void twice while writing this album,” Cowan said. “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.”
