The Seventh Sign

Having released two instrumental albums, Danish guitarist Torben Enevoldsen needed a change of pace and wanted to write an all-vocal album. The result was The Seventh Sign. The basic idea was to simply put together a band of musicians Torben admired and wanted to work with. The drummer of the German band Vanden Plas, Andreas Lill, was the first musician to join. Torben had heard the band live, opening for Dream Theater back in 1998 and having recently purchased their album "Far Off Grace", Andreas ranked high on Enevoldsen's list of favorites. The second musician to join was the Swedish vocalist Andy Engberg. The style of the music would be a blend of very melodic hard rock and the more aggressive and complex prog metal. Apart from all the guitars, Torben Enevoldsen did the bass and basic keyboard playing for the album. To add some flavor, Enevoldsen decided to ask Derek Sherinian (Planet X) and Gunter Werno (Vanden Plas) to participate, doing a few keyboard solos. They both accepted and their performances were nothing short of breathtaking!
