I actually had a flashback the first time I heard this part

Been listening almost nonstop on my phone whenever I can.  The progression and resolution and echoes running through this album just work so very well.  While the individual songs can stand alone, there is this synergistic effect when you listen to the whole album.  Love it!

Continuing to enjoy this while I wait for the CD to make its way across the Atlantic!

God! I absolutely love this!! I don' t usually like this sorta music, I never really got it but I can feel the mood in this. I can really feel it!

I'm totally crazy about this music. It's amazing how I've never liked this genre but now I can't get enough of 7ROM. It's fantastic, so dark and powerful

10 Timelessness

Upon seeing a striking image in Newport Library one of the band members started to form an idea that would resonate deeply with the other three. The nature of rage, in its many forms, in all seven ages of man. There would be different characters, locations, countless shades of anger, and the very near quenching of it. Starting at birth and concluding at death the album was to not only work as one piece of music but also as an unpretentious, catchy head banger.

The structure for Seven Rages of Man was inspired by Shakespeare's seven ages speech from 'As You Like it.'  It's divided into a Prologue, Epilogue and seven Acts. Besides the Shakespearian influence there are also elements of Greek Tragedy, Mythology and Modern Philosophy, all supporting one constant through line, an exploration of human rage.

Eighteen months later, after a lot of sweat, bloody fingers and teary vocalists 'Seven Rages of Man' is complete. Mixed by 'Dub War'/'Skindred' guitarist Jeff Rose, the band feel it is everything, and more than, they'd hoped for. 

In 2012 Blue Gillespie proudly welcome music lovers of all genres to vent their demons, follow the stories, or simply mosh their tits off to 'Seven Rages of Man'

We would like to acknowledge that VII.R.O.M is an achievement that would not have been possible without the emotional, financial and uncompromising support of their fan base or the tolerance and patience of their friends and family. Thank you, all of you.

Orders from the Dead (feat. Diamanda Galas)

Blue Gillespie are an independent Metal quartet from Newport, South Wales.

Whilst the four band members are diversely influenced by genres ranging from technical jazz to sludgy Metal, over the past four years their musical language has morphed and consolidated itself into its own brand of Prog/Metal

After the heavy blues and acoustic flavours in their 2008 debut ep 'Cave Country'  came the critically acclaimed, more progressive full length album 'Synesthesia' in 2010.  Now BG take one step further with their epic concept album 'Seven Rages of Man'

With 'Synesthesia' the band felt they had nailed the 'sound' that implied what Blue Gillespie was all about - the monster inside, that part of us that is capable of things our social masks don't usually allow. Now they wanted to use that sound to tell a bigger story, to make the characters in the music more three dimensional, to create a world for them to inhabit and a journey for them to take.
