Local heathens 7 Horns 7 Eyes invade El Corazon tonight to support their full-length debut Throes of Absolution, released last month on Century Media Records. The album is packed with the progressive doom that has been the metal band’s trademark since its inception in 2006 and was last heard on their 2007 self-titled EP. After tonight’s hometown kickoff, vocalist JJ “Shiv” Polachek IV, guitarists Aaron Smith and Sean Alf, bassist Brandon Smith, and drummer Ryan Wood embark on their first full-scale tour in support of the record. “We don’t know [whether] to expect 10 people a night or 100,” Smith says, “but it’s going to be awesome and we are all very excited.” With Stealing Axion, IDOLS, Spare Me Poseidon, Numbers.
