One of my favorite bands, Seven Kingdoms, will be sidestepping the usual distribution and funding methods by going with crowdfunding platform Kickstarter. Their first campaign will be for the EP and will be followed by another campaign for the album itself.
If you were wondering Seven Kingdoms does indeed refer to Westeros (Game of Thrones). Many of their songs are directly inspired by characters, events, and themes from “A Song of Ice and Fire” like the Red Wedding, Daenarys Stormborn, and others. This EP, titled “In the Walls” will be based upon the Cthulu mythos and Game of Thrones.
One thing I’m really stoked for is the rerecording of the songs “The Bloody Meadow” and “Stormborn” from the band’s first album, “Brothers of the Night.” Those two songs are my favorites from the album and I’m curious how they will handle things since Sabrina’s clean vocals are definitely not made for Bryan’s (the first vocalist) growling.
The campaign ends August 31.
