Nashville-based rock n’ roll group, 7Descent recently released their electrifying new single “Southwest Chief” on all streaming & download platforms. Resembling artists such as Judas Priest, Poison, and Black Sabbath, 7Descent’s newest single “Southwest Chief” is nothing short of a true power ballad. The lyrics speak about moments that define us and the nostalgia they bring. For vocalist and guitarist Milo, “Southwest Chief ” was an Amtrak Train that helped him journey to see many American landscapes from New Mexico to California. The lyrics “Nobody’s coming to the rescue, Nobody’s gonna be there to hold your hand” help show the sense of lonesome travel on this train, and are amplified by his powerful vocals.
The song begins with an ethereal opening led by the strumming of an acoustic guitar. The instrumentals quickly transition into a driving tempo filled with heavy drums and electrifying guitars. The instrumentals and vocals resemble an 80’s power ballad and will have you headbanging throughout. Whether you’re looking to scream at the top of your lungs about being an outcast, or thinking about past feelings, “Southwest Chief” is a rock n’ roll anthem you won’t want to miss.
The band’s origins go back to November of 2019 in Nashville when two embers guitarist Ed Taylor and Ishmael Herring (a.k.a. Milo) as lead vocalist, got the idea to bring the band together. Jump forward to 2020 when 2 more members, Andrew Cremmins (drums) and Brian Coffey(bass joined the band, completing 7Descent. All of the band members were brought together by the great power of Craigslist. The band’s overall inspirations range anywhere from classic/indie rock, all the way to Hip-Hop. Bands such as the Ramones, Judas Priest, and Greenday are all said to have played roles in the influence of 7Descent.
