New album, “An Ocean Laced With Glass”, out on May 30th!
Forged in passion and sharpened by sheer determination, SeventhString announces the release of their full-length album, An Ocean Laced With Glass , a metalcore powerhouse infused with post-grunge energy. Drawing inspiration from genre heavyweights like Trivium, Killswitch Engage, and Breaking Benjamin, the band delivers a sound that’s both technically precise and emotionally raw.
Hailing from Manitoba, Canada, SeventhString was formed by guitarist and frontman Cailen Penner , drummer Samuel Peters , lead guitarist Gavin Funk , and scream vocalist Ryan Peters . What began as a hard rock project has evolved into a ferocious blend of punishing riffs and melodic hooks, marrying the emotional intensity of Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace with the aggression of modern metalcore.
The album explores themes of inner conflict, resilience, and transformation, showcasing the band’s latest sonic evolution. Known for tight, immersive live performances, SeventhString channels chaos into catharsis, carving a path that is unmistakably their own.
To coincide with the album release, the band is premiering a music video for the first track off the album, “Unending Waves” , delivering a visual and sonic assault that captures the intensity and emotion of their new work.
“This album is our most honest and aggressive work to date,” says Cailen Penner. “We wanted to capture that feeling of standing in the storm, facing everything at once, and turning it into something that hits hard and stays with you.”
Recorded at Studio 23, with Jody Hunter as executive producer and produced, mixed, and mastered by Cailen James Penner , An Ocean Laced With Glass is a fully independent release. Composition credits go to Penner, Peters, and Funk .
Heavy. Honest. Unrelenting. This is SeventhString.
