"Whenever guitarist Bill Menchen is the subject of discussion, The Seventh Power usually comes up, and rightfully so. Widely regarded as the artist's signature group, The Seventh Power brought more consistent production and songwriting than his eighties and nineties projects Redeemer and Rev Seven in addition to the Keith Miles fronted Final Axe and Titanic. His turn of the century solo work under the Menchen moniker, in which Ken Redding fronted, and the final Titanic release Full Steam Ahead with new vocalist David St. Andrew received high acclaim, although both have failed to match The Seventh Power in terms of output and assortment.
Helping to separate The Seventh Power is how it draws upon the traditional metal of Bill Menchen's past while mixing in occasional doom-like moments, commercial and symphonic touches and all out heaviness for added creativity. The self-titled The Seventh Power debut from 2006, for instance, stood out with its accessibility and underlining keyboards, while the 2008 sophomore effort Dominion And Power reinforced a weightier guitar presence in approaching doom influenced territory. Eternal Power from early 2012 took a more stripped down and back to basics metal and hard rock approach.
Power And Glory, a late 2012 release and the third The Seventh Power project from the year (the artist also put out a revamped version of the self-titled debut under the title The Power), highlights a sound more akin to Dominion And Power with its focus on heavy set guitars and doom-ish overtones."
