Musically and lyrically threadbare. Contained vocals. Mechanical drumming. Overly compressed guitar sound and nothing even close to the playing Torrao/LaLonde demonstrated on 7C.
Abysmal.

Disclaimer -- when I first heard Seven Churches, I thought it sucked. I remember a friend of mine popped the cassette into the player in his room and I pretty much told him to turn it off. I probably told him to put on some Metallica. Then I bought Beyond the Gates on vinyl and listened to it maybe twice. Eyes of the Horror was the only one, for a long time, that grabbed me in any meaningful way.
Musically and lyrically threadbare?
There are some great riffs on that ep, especially "My Belief" and "Storm in My Mind". Crazy, crazy solos, probably mostly from Lalonde, expanding on Holt's focus on the physicality of guitar playing.
Lyrically, there are some engaging stories:
"Confessions" -- a murderer purging his guilt on his deathbed
"My Belief" -- a punk indictment of corporate culture, prefiguring the more famous "Betrayer".
"Eyes of Horror" -- a locked-up crazy guy, believing that he is entering a dream state and experiencing the murders of other lunatics
"Swing of the Axe" -- a strange concoction of the admonition of "Black Sabbath" mixed with the Satanic sacrifice of "Witching Hour"
"Storm is in my Mind" is probably the weakest track, with it's break-with-reality-leading-to-death thing. Sort of a stock story.
Now, don't get me wrong -- I'm not claiming that we're dealing with Byron or Hemingway, here. But these lyrics are a far cry from "Girls, Girls, Girls", which was released the same year. That's pure inanity.

Possessed lyrics ---all of em--- are an unintentional punchline. And LaLonde is great, but his work on the EP aint. Esp in comparison with what he'd already done. Seven Churches is a monument, man. A fuckin monument.

For me it's a rarity in most genres for the lyrics to be meaningful - or often - even interesting. That would definitely be one of the least weighted factors in my judging a band.
One of the great things about metal is how rarely the lyrics are intelligible.
It's just a bonus if I happen to dig on what someone has to say.

Same...I don't really care about lyrics. Either the music is good or it isn't.badcarburetor wrote:For me it's a rarity in most genres for the lyrics to be meaningful - or often - even interesting. That would definitely be one of the least weighted factors in my judging a band.

I think it's a shame you can't understand most metal lyrics. Some (by no means a majority) of them are either really funny and/or insightful and would add a lot to to song if they only were enunciated a little more.
Brilliant.Up from the sewer and into the pit
We three now are four and we're taking no shit
The villagers won't know what hit them tonight
We'll show them the meaning of horror and fright
Dissector's axe will cleave them in twain
I will dismember and harvest their brains
Fermentor will brew up some rot gut to choke
Cremator will burn all their corpses to coke
He is the Sewer Chewer
He is the Sewer Chewer
YES^
I will say, personally, that the way the vocals 'sound' as a part of the greater whole of the music is the most important thing to me. If the lyrics are actually good that's just a bonus. Hell, plenty of grindcore bands have no lyrics whatsoever and the vocals just serve as another instrument, so to speak. As long as that shit sounds rad it's fine by me, they could be talking about their love for hotdogs for all I care.
