Seven Blood release stunning debut album ‘Life Is Just a Phase’

Today, German-based alternative outfit Seven Blood have self-released their debut album “Life Is Just a Phase”. The album is a bold and emotionally-charged journey of introspection, seeing the band reflect on and share their life experiences as a form of both catharsis and aid for anyone listening. Listen to the album here and purchase it here. 

Speaking on the new release, vocalist Azaria Nasiri shares:
“It still feels unreal to be releasing this debut album this week. It truly comprises the DNA of Seven Blood. We have only been active as a band for 1.5 years, but that time has already been filled with so many great things. Two European tours, our first big festivals, and more.

“All of that has heavily influenced this album and who we are as a band today. I believe we have really started to tell our story.”

To celebrate the release of the record, Seven Blood are shining a bright light on ‘Hourglass‘. It sits at the very core of the record and serves as one of its most emotionally volatile tracks, exploring despair, distress and and the search for hope in a dark place. 

Speaking about ‘Hourglass’, Nasiri divulges:
“‘Hourglass’ is the sound of total emotional depletion. It’s an urgent, desperate confrontation with burnout. It captures that moment when you’re exhausted from the internal fight – the constant effort to keep your weakness hidden while everything around you is falling apart. The core truth is simply: ‘I’m not fine.’

“The song is a violent fantasy of escape: I want to ‘break the hourglass’ to stop the clock that is forcing me toward an end I don’t want. It’s the plea for one last, single chance to hit pause, sort out the entire mess, and heal before I have to walk away and say goodbye.”

The track joins all of the band’s previous singles on the album – ‘Not Your Misery‘, ‘Strangers‘, ‘Cold Eyes‘, ‘No Breakout‘, ‘To The Unknown‘, ‘Monsters‘, ‘As We Bleed‘, the cathartic ‘House ≠ Home‘ and their debut release ‘Killing From The Inside‘. Following their current German tour with As Everything Unfolds, the band will hit the road again in early 2026 for a co-headline tour with Lastelle, ending at London’s Fighting Cocks.
