7 SĂżnns is the upcoming compilation album by Immortal SĂżnn, comprised of new and previously-released material all recorded during the Force of Habit sessions. The record has a digital release date of June 24th on most major streaming platforms.
The first, and only previously-unreleased track on the album, âAegri Somniaâ, features friend of the band, Marisol Vasquez on flute once again. The track lends itself more to power metal and folk metal than other tracks in the bandâs catalog. This song is a sequel to âAnamnesisâ, and continues the storyline established therein.Â
âLet Them Eat Metalâ was released as a bonus track on the vinyl edition of Force of Habit. It is a much faster and thrashier version of The Rodsâ track.
âEternal Nightâ was the first of two bonus tracks originally released on the CD version of Force of Habit. This song has power metal elements as well as some more modern ones, but still retains the bandâs old school feel.
âThe Night is Youngâ was previously released as an Apple Music exclusive when Force of Habit was first released. It features lead singer, Duel Shape, and bass player, Frantz Pierre, sharing vocal duties. Allen Maddox of Heartsick Heroine plays a guest solo on this track.
âState Oppressionâ is the first of two bonus tracks previously released on the cassette tape version of Force of Habit. It is a thrash metal song with a political theme, for which the band is known. Allen Maddox of Heartsick Heroine plays a guest solo on this track.
âTired and Redâ is the second of two bonus tracks previously released on the cassette tape version of Force of Habit. It features guitarist and founding member, Tony Z, on lead vocals as well as lead and rhythm guitar. This is a straightforward cover of Sodomâs track from their 1989 album, Agent Orange.
âLa Baladaâ is the second of two bonus tracks previously released on the CD version of Force of Habit. This is the first song in the bandâs catalog to be sung entirely by drummer Axel Berrios, as well as the first song to be sung entirely in Spanish. Sharone Borik (Sharone) and Mia Paris provide backing vocals for this song. It is a cover of the Mexican band, Cuca, with many layers and parts added to Immortal SĂżnnâs version to give it a much grander sound and feel.
All songs were recorded during the sessions for Force of Habit in 2020 and 2021. Due to the firing of the bandâs previous lead guitarist and bass player after their 2019 summer tour, almost all of the instrumentation on the record was handled by drummer Axel Berrios and guitarist/founder, Tony Z. Duel Shape joined the band shortly after recording sessions began in March 2020, but lead guitarist brad Wagner and bassist, Frantz Pierre, did not join the band until close to the recordâs completion.Â
While Brad was able to contribute lead guitar parts to three of the tracks on 7 SĂżnns, Frantz only recorded backing vocals and one lead vocal to share with duel on âThe Night is Youngâ, as all of the bass parts had been recorded by Tony or Axel by the time he joined.
The band was happy to once again utilize its female friends to contribute to the record. Marisol Vasquez once again contributed her flute skills to 7 SĂżnns. She could be heard first on âWhiskey II: The Wrath of Cornâ from Force of Habit. Sharone Borik of Sharone sang on an Immortal SĂżnn record for the first time and contributed her vocals to the track, âLa Baladaâ. Mia Paris also contributed vocals to âLa Baladaâ. Mia first sang backups for Immortal SĂżnn on the track, âNovus Ordo Seclorumâ from the album, Machine Men, released in 2017.
All tracks on 7 SĂżnns were recorded at Rusty Sun Audio in Parker, CO. They were engineered and mixed by Nick Nodurft, and mastered by Jason Livermore (Rise Against, Descendants, As I Lay Dying) at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO.
All tracks, apart from âThe Night is Youngâ, will be released digitally for the first time when 7 SĂżnns goes live on June 24th.
