2024 was a milestone year for Florida power metallers SEVEN KINGDOMS. Not only did they sign with a new label, Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), but they also headlined an extensive North American tour and released their new EP, "The Square." In addition, the band have garnered widespread critical acclaim, with the title track of "The Square" being named a top track by Metal Hammer UK and an exclusive EP premiere at Decibel Magazine.

To celebrate, they've released a video for their fan-favourite cover of MR. MISTER's 'Kyrie.' The cover stays true to the original 80s while adding SEVEN KINGDOMS' unique twist. The video features the band enjoying their travels on tour and having fun at every band's favourite location, Buc-ees!

The band comment: "'Kyrie' is a cover song chosen by one of our faithful kickstarter backers. We started doing them a few years ago as an option on our kickstarters for fun and to show the musical flexibility of the band. I (Sabrina) have always enjoyed going out to sing karaoke or covering my favourite songs (I used to post myself singing them before copyright infringement issues took the fun out of it). This was a fun song to sing and I feel the lyric content is very on point for bands that go on tour. Kyrie translates to 'Lord have mercy' which when driving all around the world at all hours of the day and night, amongst responsible and non responsible people, we put our lives on the line every second we are on the road. I often refer to highways as 'The river of idiots' which can be anyone at any given moment."

Praise for "The Square":

"From the fantastical lands of, erm, Florida, SEVEN KINGDOMS are also taking the classic power metal torch and running with it, new single 'The Square' all galloping riffs, headbanging breaks and wails to the heavens. The title track of their upcoming EP - out November 8 - 'The Square' hints at SEVEN KINGDOMS' capacity for massive, room-uniting singalongs." - Metal Hammer UK

"Sabrina Cruz has such a superb voice for this type of thing, and if you doubt that, then witness the scream at the start of 'The Serpent And The Lotus' - not since Jon Bon Jovi at the end of 'Runaway' has anything hit that high." - Maximum Volume Music

"I'd recommend this EP for power metal fans looking for something that still checks the genre's boxes but does so in its own way. Fans of DREAM THEATER, QUEENSRŸCHE, and SAVATAGE should find a welcome addition to their regular rotation with this release." - Mike On Metal

""The Square" serves notice that the band's power metal foundation contains all the key pop, traditional, and left-field accents to give the group ample opportunity for sustaining their careers. If you haven't discovered them yet, this would be an ideal time to be a part of the movement." - Dead Rhetoric

In February the band will hit the road again, this time with the legendary UNLEASH THE ARCHERS on a European tour in February and March 2025.
