Seventh Avenue
Seventh Avenue is a Power Metal band from Wolfsburg, Germany formed in 1989. Seventh Avenue plays a hybrid style of Speed and Power Metal with the focus on melodies. This is Some of the fastest power metal on the market, that these ears have heard.
Seventh Avenues earlier offerings like "Between the Worlds" or "Eternals" didn't quite reach the level of a great album and are missing the cohesiveness between singer and music. But then there was "Terium," their 2008 release where it all came together for the band as they finally reached the mark of a "great" band. With some bands it just takes time for it all to come together and come together it did. There's not one filler on the album even with there being 14 songs on the album (not including the entro).

Terium is a "Concept" album, that being said, a concept album is an entire album that tells a story. For example, Signus Regis also did an album that tells the story of Moses as it goes from one song to the next.
Terium is a science fiction story with “Terium” Being "addictions or sin" That keep us bound, whatever they might be. A prophet named Micah(John the baptist), was sent by God ahead of Jesus, to preach repentance and speak of the Savior to come.The only problem is that the people didn't want Creator they only wanted Terium and Pontius. Pontius is a character in the story that is a leader/savior to the people because he provides a false ,feal-good, eternal life for the people through Terium. Pontius searches for Ratis for 25 years and finally finds him so he can kill Him. The puppet master behind Pontius is the character "The Fallen" who represents Lucifer. Jesus is played out in the Character "Ratis-The Creators Son" who came down from heaven to free us from the addictions/sin that everyone is born into the world with. So in short, Jesus/Ratis Frees us from being slaves to sin and give seternal life to all who believe in Him.

"New Era"
Disciples are down. No one could cheer up.
Three days he is dead. Only mistake?
He comes to them. Standing among them.
Giving them hope. Cause they will paving the way for new era
[REFRAIN:]
As the prophets said.
Would be put to death.
But he'll rise again.
He's the saviour of all.
End the reign of death.
Reject Terium.
Returns glorious.
Lay the foundations for the new era.
[BRIDGE:]
Slowly they grasp things they've heard times before.
Open the door spread the good news outside.
There is more to see
than Terium's lie.
Cause the time has come
that the saviour will start his reign.
[REFRAIN:]
As the prophets said.
Would be put to death.
But he'll rise again.
He's the saviour of all.
End the reign of death.
Reject Terium.
Returns glorious.
