Black 7

About

Powerful – Melodic – Instrumental – Symphonic - Dark Black 7 is a solo project by Lars Totzke, a guitarist and songwriter from Hanover. After his first album “Look Inside” was successfully released in 2021, the sequel "2nd Chapter" is scheduled to drop in 2023. Stylistically it is a bit darker besides the melodic songs. Many different moods and styles are fused together again. Heavy parts alternating with quiet moments creating a wonderful journey to the listener, you will never miss the vocals! Influenced by bands and artists such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Sevendust, Dream Theater, Slipknot and Korn, but also by Satriani, Gary Moore, Al di Meola and Paco de Lucia, Lars Totzke's music is a unique mixture of its own. This time, too, all instruments have been recorded by Lars himself. A large development in growth can be clearly seen in this second album, from style to composition and structure. PRESS "There is just so much going on, from a death-dealing speed metal riff here to a pompously overblown melody there, from solos that would sear a steak quicker than a Texan barbecue to beautifully constructed passages of lilting pathos, all of which counterpoint each other superbly." - https://uber-rock.co.uk/black-7-look-inside-self-released/ "Black 7 features the most graceful interchanges between leading instruments ... lures people into the symphony with the somber violin, quickly turning into a sorrowful acoustic guitar which is then beautifully overtaken by a soulful electric guitar." - mxdwn.com "The whole lot, listening to ‘Look Inside’ was like telling a story of what could be going in the music in your own image and imagination" - https://metal1on1.squarespace.com/instrumental/black-7 Black 7 IS: All instruments: Lars Totzke
