Only
one year after their groundbreaking debut release,
Seventh
Angel unleashed this thrash metal masterpiece
upon a very unsuspecting world. The band's 1991
release is generally slower but heavier than
The Torment. As the album title indicates, Lament
For the Weary is a concept album which lyrically
focuses on how we deal with lifelong depression
and pain. "No Longer a Child" offers
God's words of consolation: "My little child,
I see your pain / I cry with you / every tear
you weep - weep with you."
Haunting musically and lyrically, don't be
surprised if Lament For the Weary sends chills
down your back. Rarely does a thrash metal
band hit the bullseye so definitively. And
rarely is a band able to augment full on shredding
with mellow, subtle moments the way Seventh
Angel triumphs on Lament. This would ultimately
be Seventh Angel's last musical offering. Get
it now before this classic metal release goes
out of print again!
