The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse – Wicked Hands (EP – Scanner / Dark Dimensions)
Genre/Influences: Electro-Wave, EBM, Industrial.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: “Wicked Hands” is the official debut EP from the American trio The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse. They previously self-released a few productions and now signed to Scanner.
Content: It’s not an easy thing defining the sound of this band. The 4 songs are clearly mixing different influences like electro-Wave, Industrial and EBM. The result is a danceable production driven by carrying sequences and charismatic vocals on top.
+ + + : I’m always in for a band you don’t directly link with another formation. The influences are familiar, but the result is a personal sound approach revealing 2 promising songs. I refer to the great opener “Enter Delirium” and the darker “Feed Me To The Void”. I like the haunted atmosphere hanging over the songs.
– – – : The EP is maybe not featuring an absolute hit song although revealing a band with a true potential.
Conclusion: The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse is a band dealing with an original sound mixing great atmospheres and danceable vibes.
Best songs: “Enter Delirium”, “Feed Me To The Void”.
Rate: 7½.

About The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse
The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse is an American band operating from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. The line-up is Chris (samples, sounds, cover art, video art), Tom (vocals, sounds, songwriting) and Jason (vocals, sounds, songwriting, production). The three met on Bandcamp in 2019, coming from a shared background in experimental noise and dark ambient, and first worked together as Thrill Behind Barks, releasing an album under that name in early 2020.
Each member also runs a separate project: The Creeping Man for Chris and The Angler King for Tom. The band signed to Scanner, part of the Dark Dimensions label group, and issued the digital EP “Wicked Hands” in 2022. The debut album “All Through The Waste” followed in 2023. Jason and Tom discussed the band name and their EBM approach in the ‘Click Interview’ with The Seven Whores Of The Apocalypse, published by Side-Line on 23 September 2023.
