Biography

Gothic / Power metal is what these six musicians stand for with their heart and soul. In the songs written by Seventh Sin you can hear influences of Nightwish, After Forever and Lacuna Coil. According to some, Nevermore and Dream Theater should also be in this row.

After recording their self-produced debut "Darkest of all Dreams" at the end of 2006, this band has proven their place in the Dutch metalscene. On stage, Seventh Sin also has proven its worth. They performed with Kamelot (VS), Leaves' Eyes (DE), Delain (NL), Asrai (NL), Autumn (NL) and, not to be forgotten, Epica (NL) and Stream of Passion (Various).


Though "Darkest of all Dreams" was mostly called "gothic metal", the new songs seem more appropriate to be called "gothic/power metal". With this slight change of course Seventh Sin has created its own sound.
At this moment Seventh Sin is writing new material for the upcoming full-length album and performing live on stage in their homeland ánd abroad.

Seventh Sin exists of:

Monique Joosten - Vocals
Vincent Reuling - Synthesizer
Roy Geelen - Guitar en Grunts
Bart Joosten - Bass
Wiro Geerlings - Drums
Ruben Smeets - Lead Guitar
