Today, SEVEN SPIRES celebrates the five year anniversary of their acclaimed album ‘Emerald Seas’ with a re-recorded version of “The Road”, which is accompanied by a music video.
“The Road”, originally only released as a bonus track on the Japan edition of ‘Emerald Seas’, has now been revitalized with new recording, mixing, and mastering as well as featuring Dylan Gowan‘s drumming on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song for the first time.
About the re-recorded version of “The Road”, the band comments:
“‘The Road’ was a very fun and special song that was originally the exclusive bonus track for the Japanese release of our second album, ‘Emerald Seas’. It’s hard to believe it, but now, for the album’s 5-year anniversary, we wanted to give a facelift and update to this track and release it for the rest of the world to enjoy.
“Aside from a couple of orchestral and keyboard parts, this version of ‘The Road’ is entirely re-recorded, remixed, and remastered, including Dylan Gowan’s fantastic drumming for the first time on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song. It’s a fitting one, because Dylan basically jumped in the deep end with our recent show schedule, and as you can see from the accompanying video we put together for the release, it’s been nothing but a blast having him on tour with us!
“It’s a fast-paced, technically-challenging, super uplifting anthem celebrating the shared joy of live metal shows, and we hope you love our new version of ‘The Road’ as much as we loved making it for you.”

SEVEN SPIRES is an American symphonic metal band. Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world. Known for their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, and cinematic soundscapes.
To support the release of their fourth studio LP, ‘A Fortress Called Home’, via Frontiers Music Srl on June 21st, 2024, SEVEN SPIRES toured on three continents: first in Europe as direct support to Skálmöld with Atavistia as first support, then in North America directly supporting Kamelot with Ad Infinitum also featured on the bill. To end 2024, SEVEN SPIRES embarked on their first-ever headlining tour of Japan with Lords of the Trident.
In 2025, SEVEN SPIRES is slated to perform at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rautheim in Germany, Leyendas del Rock in Spain, and Legions of Metal in the United States.
The band’s previous touring history includes North America with Eluveitie and Omnium Gatherum in 2023, Europe with Twilight Force and Silver Bullet in 2023, as well as North America with Dragonforce, Firewind, and Visions of Atlantis in 2022. They have also performed at prestigious metal festivals, such as 70000 Tons of Metal, Metaldays, ProgPower USA, and Mad With Power Fest, where they played a sold-out, nearly two-hour headline show in 2023.
