SEVEN KINGDOMS Parts Ways With Bassist, Announces Replacement

September 23, 2010

Florida-based, female-fronted power metallers SEVEN KINGDOMS have amicably parted ways with bassist Miles Neff and have replaced him with Aaron Sluss.

"I've been good friends with the members of SEVEN KINGDOMS for some time now, as well as a fan of the music," Aaron says, "so when Camden [Cruz, guitar] asked me to come on board as their new bassist, I didn't hesitate.

"There is a lot of musical talent in this band and I'm very much looking forward working with them on the upcoming BLIND GUARDIAN tour and in the time beyond."

SEVEN KINGDOMS's sophomore album was released on July 13 via Nightmare Records.

According to a press release, Nightmare Records owner and prog-power vocalist Lance King "was impressed with the band's vocal siren, Sabrina Valentine. Her unique, warm and melancholic melodic sense combined with this speedy power metal band should please fans that are into the sound of BLIND GUARDIAN, EVANESCENCE, NIGHTWISH, ICED EARTH, WITHIN TEMPTATION, EPICA."

Formed in Deland, Florida in 2007 by Camden Cruz and Bryan Edwards, SEVEN KINGDOMS entered Morrisound Recording in Tampa in August 2007 to record its debut self-financed independent release, "Brothers of the Night", which was lyrically inspired by the literary works of George R. Martin.

After playing shows throughout the Southeastern region of the United States with such bands as SONATA ARCTICA, THE AGONIST, STEPHEN PEARCY and CIRCLE II CIRCLE, SEVEN KINGDOMS returned to Morrisound in 2009 to begin work on its self-titled sophomore effort.

SEVEN KINGDOMS is:

Sabrina Valentine – Vocals
Camden Cruz – Guitar
Kevin Byrd – Guitar
Aaron Sluss – Bass
Keith Byrd - Drums
