American symphonic metal band Seven Spires has shared a music video for “Love’s Souvenir” from its 2024 album “A Fortress Called Home” (Frontiers Music Srl; get it here).
“’Love’s Souvenir’ was born on one of the darkest days of the production of our fourth studio album ‘A Fortress Called Home,'” vocalist Adrienne Cowan said. “It’s a song about believing you must be extraordinary to be loved, and the aching marble museum that carves inside. It was a way to confront the shame of craving connection, and the long-standing fear of loss when there’s no energy left to perform. I always had the feeling ‘Love’s Souvenir’ needed a music video. Nearly 10 months after the album’s release, we finally get to show it to the world: brocade-and-silk-clad agony filmed in a desecrated church in subzero temperatures. It’s beautiful and ugly, polished and raw as the album itself. Working with Chris Kells’ team again was cathartic and wonderfully arty as always. And, if it’s possible to say about something so painful, I’m incredibly happy with and proud of the final result.”
Seven Spires formed in 2013 at Berklee College of Music. Known for its penchant for pushing genre limits, the band draws influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music and cinematic soundscapes.
To support the release of “A Fortress Called Home,” its fourth studio LP, Seven Spires has toured on three continents: first in Europe as direct support to Skálmöld with Atavistia as first support, then in North America directly supporting Kamelot with Ad Infinitum also featured on the bill. To end 2024, Seven Spires embarked on its first-ever headlining tour of Japan with Lords of the Trident.
In 2025, Seven Spires is slated to perform at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rautheim in Germany, Leyendas del Rock in Spain and Legions of Metal in the United States, before embarking in the fall on a run of U.K. dates with Sonata Arctica, quickly followed by a European tour with Ad Infinitum and Phantom Elite.
The band’s previous touring history includes North America with Eluveitie and Omnium Gatherum in 2023, Europe with Twilight Force and Silver Bullet in 2023, as well as North America with Dragonforce, Firewind and Visions of Atlantis in 2022. The band also has performed at prestigious metal festivals, such as 70000 Tons of Metal, Metaldays, ProgPower USA and Mad With Power Fest, where it played a sold-out, nearly two-hour headline show in 2023.
