Seven Blood Release New Single & Video “House ≠ Home”

German-based alternative outfit Seven Blood have released their brand new single and music video for “House ≠ Home,” which follows on from their debut single “Killing From the Inside,” produced by Anfy Hartmann, mixed by Dan Weller (Enter Shikari, Holding Absence, Bury Tomorrow) and mastered by Dick Beetham. Both are available for streaming now.

“House ≠ Home” exhibits Seven Blood’s blend of technicality and heart-bearing emotion in a cathartic and uplifting anthem. The track draws on the band’s shared yet contrasting backgrounds – pulling from guitarist Oli Arnold and drummer Anfy Hartmann’s disillusionment growing up in Suhl, a former German Democratic Republic powerhouse city left facing stark urban decline following Germany’s unification, as well as the isolation felt by vocalist Azaria Nasiri as a young woman whose multicultural background – born in Berlin to a Moroccan mother and Iranian father – fuelled a crisis of belonging.

Azaria says:

“I had lots of questions about who I was and the culture of my family. I felt very lost, a person without an identity. I think we all had similar experiences where we didn’t feel that we had a loving childhood home any more.”

Reliving those memories of fights with family, struggles to connect with step-parents and more, Azaria’s hushed, tender verses reflect the sensitivity and fragility of youth, before exploding into an uplifting chorus that mimics the empowerment felt in adulthood through an ability to find a place to call your own.

Azaria adds:

“It’s about breaking those chains, and escaping all of those past feelings,”

Seven Blood has also been announced to support fellow German metalcore outfit Future Palace and Our Promise in the EU, and two UK dates this winter. Tickets here!
