The Swedish band Seven Trees formed way back in 1993, and left a mark on the scene with their atmospheric and dark take on industrial music. Now, for the first time since their remix album “End/Dead” in 2022, we finally get some new material.
Following warm critical acclaim and enthusiastic fan reactions, Jan Dewulf, the mastermind behind Belgian dark electro project Mildreda, is back with his most ambitious work to date: the 18-track double album “Realities” on Dependent Records.
