Seven Kingdoms commitment to melodic power metal continues on their third release, The Fire Is Mine. Led by the clear and passionate vocals of Sabrina Valentine’s vocals, Seven Kingdom effortlessly combines speed and heaviness with melody to invigorate the American power metal genre.
There’s little more to be said about Valentine’s vocal prowess that wasn’t said in my review of 2010’sSeven Kingdoms. She remains the classic female metal vocalist, singing clean and strong, but also avoiding the extremes of outrageously operatic or gruesome growling. (It appears, overall, that the band has abandoned the growling found briefly in their last release.)
