“The Seven Spirits” is the title track from Altar of Oblivion’s third full-length album, which is a seven-track semi-conceptual affair with each track representing a “distinct spiritual being”. “The Seven Sprits” is a Biblical expression and appears four times in the “Book of Revelation” (New Testament), in which Jesus dictates seven letters to the Apostle John, who is instructed to send them to the Seven Churches. Throughout time, these biblical passages, (along with the rest of the Bible, obviously) have been interpreted in many ways, and a lot of confusion and disagreement exist as to what they actually mean. The lyrical content of this album offers my own personal, alternate and “counterfactual” take on the definition of these particular passages and subjects, among other things the lake of fire, absence of life, end-time prophecies, spirit creatures, false prophets, deathbed conversions, impurity etc. - Martin Meyer Sparvath TRACKLIST: 1: Created in the Fires of Holiness 2: No one left 3: Gathering at the Wake 4: The Seven Spirits 5: Language of the Dead 6: Solemn Messiah 7: Grand Gesture of Defiance Participants on this recording: Martin Meyer Sparvath – Guitars Mik Mentor – Lead & backing Vocals C.
