Seven13 is a straight forward rock-n-roll outfit, not to be confused with the contemporary Christian rock band 7:13. They make great use of the piano in tracks like the title Devour. The piano is infused in the music so it becomes more than just an instrument but a vehicle of simultaneous joy and melancholy. Seven13 was started by Amanda Adams up in Boston. Amanda Adams is joined by Lauren Ducette, Brian Verruchi, Justin Ballard formally of Tank 26, and Kenneth Michael.
Seven13’s debut album was the 2002 Unleashed. They have been described as Goth and though the mood of this disc can be somber the well structured songs are capable and memorable. Songs like What I Wouldn’t Do are sang in beautiful despair. The guitar work of Justin Ballard are first rate and the dark lyrics are a pleasing contrast to the piano. My favorite track on this particular disc is Abuse Me. “Look me in the eyes as you stab me in the back.” The remaining two tracks are Closer to the Edge and No Apology. In short this is a good disc all be it only five cuts.
If you like the Devour disc or 2002’s effort Unleashed you can also check out D2 which was recorded in 2007and has more tracks.
