Interviews: Seventh Eve

On this new occasion, we had the opportunity to interview the Metalcore band Seventh Eve from the USA. Check out the interview and follow this band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name? Was it planned, or did it just happen organically?

It actually came together pretty naturally— we didn’t overthink it or grab it from some book or legend. We started writing and performing under the name Outsider TX in the spring of 2025, and it came together seamlessly. The music we make reflects who we are: a blend of genres, backgrounds, and perspectives that come together to create something chaotic yet pleasing. It’s raw, unpredictable, and emotional—just like the name suggests. Being “outsiders” isn’t just a title—it’s the feeling that fuels everything we do.

2. Why did you choose to play this genre?

Nu-Deathcore (at least what we call it) lets us channel the most intense emotions—rage, pain, frustration—but also gives space for technicality, atmosphere, and unpredictability. It’s heavy, raw, and brutally honest, which matches the way we experience and express life. A famous band and inspiration to us once said we all come from broken homes, broken hearts, and broken bones, and that resonates with us.

We were drawn to the genre because it pushes limits—sonically and emotionally. But we don’t stay inside the box. What we play might start as deathcore, but it bends into whatever we need it to be: chaotic, ambient, hardcore, sometimes even melodic, or even symphonic. It’s not about fitting a genre—it’s about making something that feels true.

3. Did you know each other before forming the band?

We did, we have been writing for other bands for about 7 months prior to pursuing Outsider TX.

4. What is each band member's favorite band?

That’s a tough question, because one minute we’re singing our asses off to Lady Gaga, and the next we’re screaming to the filthiest deathcore or slam. Honestly, we don’t lock ourselves into heavy music—it’s just the sound that made the most sense for what we wanted to express.

We'll just leave it at this: our playlist is more bipolar than the Texas weather. One second it’s glitter-pop, the next it’s blast beats and breakdowns.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

A lot of what inspires us to write comes from the rawest parts of our lives. It’s a way of taking all that pressure and turning it into something loud and real.

We’re also inspired by extremes—whether it's the intensity of bands like Lorna Shore or the emotional weight behind something totally different, like pop or even R&B. It’s less about copying and more about channeling that same energy.

And honestly? Sometimes it's just hearing a filthy breakdown and thinking, “Yeah... we can go harder” or better yet “ bring it back…… but slower!”

6. Where was your last gig?

We have yet to perform live under Outsider TX

7. Where would you like to perform in the future?

There are a ton of places we’d love to perform in the future—some dream venues are:

So What?! Festival (TX) – right in our backyard with a lineup that always blends genres like we do.

The Underworld (London) – a legendary spot for heavy music with crowds that get it.

Japan – because the scene there is wild, respectful, and insanely passionate.

Wacken Open Air (Germany) – the holy ground for heavy music. Just imagining our sound ripping through a massive outdoor crowd gives chills.

Any of the Danny Wimmer Festivals - the culture and the atmosphere are such a vibe we want to be a part of.

But honestly? Whether it's a DIY basement show or a festival stage, if the crowd’s real and the energy’s raw, we’re there for it.

8. Which artist or band would you like to collaborate with?

We have already collaborated with our boys in Prompts and Alex Koehler, so that was a badass experience. However, looking towards the future, we would like to work with Ronnie Radke, Alex Terrible, Courtney LaPlante, and  Spencer Charnas.

9. Is there anyone you wouldn’t want to collaborate with?

I mean, there are some people out there who are probably bad for business, as they say.

10. Have any of you ever experienced stage fright? Do you have any tips for beginners on overcoming it?

ChatGPT said:

Oh yeah—stage fright is very real, and most of us have felt it at some point, especially early on. That rush of adrenaline, your hands shaking, wondering if you’ll forget the lyrics or drop your instrument—totally normal.

Here’s what’s helped us and might help beginners too:

🔥 Tips for Overcoming Stage Fright:

Channel the nerves – Use that nervous energy to fuel your performance. Don’t fight it; ride the wave.

Repetition is your friend – Practice your set until it’s muscle memory. The more confident you are in your material, the less you’ll worry on stage.

Breathe deep before walking on – Seriously, deep breaths. It calms your body and brings your mind back into the moment.

Start with smaller shows – Playing in front of 20 people at a dive bar is still an experience. Work your way up gradually.

Create a pre-show ritual – Whether it’s hyping each other up, saying something dumb to break the tension, or even just a quiet moment—it helps set the tone.

Mess-ups happen – Accept it now. Everyone screws up. Own it, laugh it off, and keep playing. Most people won’t even notice.

At the end of the day, remember: the crowd isn’t there to see you be perfect—they’re there to feel something. Give them that, and the nerves start to fade.

11. Which bands have influenced you the most?

It’s really hard to nail that one down, but I would say the acacia strain, shadow of intent, Oceano, Lorna shore, Dayseeker

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

Being asked for pics in a sauna, haha, keep it weird. We’re here for it.

13. What do you think of your fans?

We f**king love our fans.

Seriously—they’re the reason we push harder, go heavier, and keep doing this even when it’s tough. Our fans aren’t just bystanders; they’re part of the show. Whether it’s someone screaming lyrics back at us, moshing like their life depends on it, or just sending a DM saying our music helped them through something, that hits deep.

And the variety? Insane. Some are heavy music lifers, others stumbled on us after vibing with a TikTok clip or a weird genre mashup we did. No matter how they found us, they get us—and that connection is unreal.

14. What do you think of our site?

MDPR is a must-visit for metal fans craving a dedicated, authentic platform that celebrates the full spectrum of metal.

15. Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Yeah, definitely. One thing we’d want people to know is that Outsider TX isn’t just about the music—it’s about the journey and the community around it. We’re not here to fit into any box or genre cage. We’re constantly evolving, blending sounds, and pushing ourselves to be as honest and raw as possible.

Also, we really value connection—whether that’s with fans, other bands, or the scenes we touch. We see our shows as more than just gigs; they’re moments where everyone can let go, be themselves, and feel part of something bigger.

At the end of the day, we’re two degenerates with a dream, and if you vibe with that energy, then you’re already part of the crew
