Plague Year Lullabies - Seven)Suns

TNM presents the heavy metal string quartet Seven)Suns at Nancy Manocherian's the cell theatre. This encore performance features new works by composer/violinist Earl Maneein, Arvo Pärt, and others, blurring the line between highly disciplined classical training and off-the-wall hard core metal. How is this possible? Join the astonished crowds and find out.

“Can a string quartet be metal? The short answer is “absolutely,” with the elaboration being that SEVEN)SUNS is probably more metal than most metal bands out there.”
— Greg Kennelty, Metal Injection

“Seven)Suns’ work is much more than “string quartet interprets metal songs.” That’s the easy hook, and the quickest entry point, but their incorporation of electronics, and the complexity of Maneein’s compositions and arrangements, make this group something very special and forward-looking. They should be embraced by the neo-classical community every bit as fervently as by adventurous metalheads.”
—Phil Freeman, Burning Ambulance

“Converting tracks from bands like Pantera, Converge, and Dillinger Escape Plan into string music seems no easy feat, but Seven)Suns did this masterfully, altering the music into something that was at times ominous, foreboding, and still elegant and graceful.”
