Interviews About Albums: Seven Metal Sins - Legacy Of Chaos (2026)

In this new interview, we sat down with the French Heavy Metal band Seven Metal Sins to ask questions about their album, "Legacy Of Chaos".

1. What can you say about this new EP/CD?

It’s a massive step forward for SevenMetalSins. It’s heavy, it’s fast, and it’s deeply rooted in our modern reality. It's the perfect soundtrack for a world on fire. Musically, we wanted to capture that raw, organic energy of live shows, just real sweat, power metal riffs, and intense emotions, like a punch in the face, but with a dark, epic atmosphere that defines who we are today. If you like your metal heavy, honest, and loud, this one is for you.

2. What is the meaning of the EP/CD name?

Legacy of Chaos' is about the world we are inheriting and the one we are leaving behind. Look around us: climate crisis, endless political lies, societal breakdown... We are living in a dystopian reality that used to be sci-fi. This 'chaos' is our modern legacy, and the album is our way of dealing with it, turning that anxiety into power.

3. Which one is the composer of the CD/EP?

Musically, it’s a total brotherhood effort. Antton and Fred bring the riffs and structures, and then we tear them apart and rebuild them together. Once the music has that heavy, organic pulse, Claw locks himself away to write the vocal melodies and the lyrics. We feed off each other's energy. It’s a real band effort so everyone in SevenMetalSins has their DNA on this record.

4. If you had to pick one song, which one would you pick?

If we had to pick one, I'd probably go with "Sun Eaters". It's got that mix of guilt and defiance that sums up the whole record for us; we're not pointing fingers from a distance; we're including ourselves in the problem. "We are the lie, we are the crime" is as much about us as it is about anyone else. It is about exploiting something you know you shouldn't, and doing it anyway because the alternative feels impossible. The imagery is this idea of literally burning the core of something, the planet, the future, just to keep the lights on a little longer. It's heavy, it's fast, and lyrically it's the most honest gut-punch on the album.

5. Is there a special message in this EP/CD? If there is what it is?

Definitely, the core message is that we're standing at a breaking point, environmentally, politically, socially, and pretending not to notice won't save us. But it's not a "we're doomed" record. Yes, things fall apart, but something new can rise from the ashes. It's a warning wrapped in a fist.

6. Are there some lyrics that you'd love to share?

In "Beyond the Breaking Point": "They close their eyes to burning skies, and call it 'understood'." It's one of the most cutting lines on the album; it sums up that collective denial in the face of the climate crisis in one sentence, the way we name things to give ourselves the illusion of control, when really we're just looking away.

7. Which inspirations have been important for this album? Like musically or friends, family, someone you'd love to thank especially?

Musically, our roots go back to bands like Accept, Judas Priest, Primal Fear, Masterplan, that German-style heavy/power sound, straightforward and without compromise. Lyrically, though, Claw draws a lot from sci-fi, horror, and dystopian films; that's where a lot of the imagery comes from, but most of the inspiration just comes from watching the news. Reality has more imagination than we do; we push the dial a little further, sure, but most of the time, we're just describing what's already happening and following the thread to where it logically leads. On a more personal note, this album exists because of the trust between the five of us. Fred literally met us in person for the first time on the set of the "Hypocrisy" video, and he just dove in, no hesitation. That kind of leap of faith says a lot about this band.

8. Something to add?

Just a huge thank you to everyone supporting underground metal, and if any of this resonates with how you're feeling about the world right now, that's exactly the point.

Grab a copy of 'Legacy of Chaos', come find us on the road too, we've got shows lined up in France through the rest of the year, and we want to share this energy live.
