The name "Seventh Image" is an abstraction of concepts: a combination of perfect numeric balance and personal philosophies developed during hallucinogenic euphorics in front of a mirror.

We play as often as possible, wherever we are booked. More frequently out of town, however. The live experience is entirely why this band exists.

The free dissemination of art has removed the classic model of "label finds band, gives band money to make more money, label takes that money, repeat circle". A bands fiscal survival in this day and age will depend greatly on a personalized fanbase that is loyal and 'collector' oriented; ie a fanbase of people who want tangible items rather than a digital package of 1's and 0's. the internet forces a stronger connection between artist and patron.

Yes, if only for the tour support.

Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, this congregation of like-minded individuals stand proud as a gordian knot of ideas that defy the ideological conventions of current electronic music. Seventh Image officially formed in the fall of 1999, however the deeper roots of the band extend as far back as 1995, when keyboard player Andrew Amy first connected with vocalist Keith Durocher to work on an aggressive new industrial sound. Limited material was written before the project was placed on extended hiatus while both Andrew and Keith took time out to work with other bands. Eventually, Keith recruited Jeff LeDrew to fuse industrial and trance, and after swapping several mixes Andrew came into the fold. Thus was the first true iteration of Seventh Image born.

The chemistry of the original lineup produced a plethora of material, spearheaded by the Youthenize demo, which brought about a short-lived agreement with Canadian experimentalist label Interdimensional Industries. After an aimicable departure from IDI in the fall of 2001, Seventh Image signed to Seattle-based Syncromesh Productions, releasing the Spinal Agnostic EP, the critically-acclaimed Binary full length debut album, and the limited edition remix album Disfigure. Syncromesh has since ceased operations, leaving the band to work independantly towards completion of the next album.

Times have changed the lineup of the band considerably. Jeff has departed, leaving Andrew and Keith to focus on the long-running desire to forge a superior live troupe. Adding Matthew Sheppard on bass and keyboards, Adam Johnson on percussion, and Russell Manten on guitars, as well as an ever more extreme sense of theatrics, Seventh Image are second to none on stage.

At a time when the vapid are praised, Seventh Image relentlessly bludgeon the psyche with anger and spite. They stalk the future, malign the inferior, and strive to annihilate preconceptions.

"The sound of Seventh Image is hard to compare.
...heavy gabber-like beats, crazy synths that sound like they are being played by someone hopped up on speed, and loud harsh vocal yelling. I really can't think of a negative thing to say about Seventh Image or this release."

-Stephan Sodergren, Industrial natioN

"...you can expect nothing less than harsh Industrial beats with a bounce from Seventh Image. Raw, gutteral with the 'in your face' attitude of early Industrial but with the more recent 'beat' elements and sonic Noise influence..."

-In Rhythmus Bleiben

"Makes NUMB sound like Apoptygma Berzerk."

-Dj Nik Rofeelya

This list would take up far too much room. Our most noticable influence is probably the cult-industrial project known as The Fourth Man.

Still to be decided, none of us have been everywhere on earth yet.
