THE SISYPHUS COMPLETE RECORDINGS (2 vinyls)

Description

This release ("The Sisyphus Complete Recordings") brings together the album "Sisyphus" and the EP "what's next?" which followed (late 2020) to compensate for the lockdown – 7 WEEKS began writing tracks back in the Myspace era, when it was common to label any heavy rock band with even a touch of melody as stoner. The Limoges-based band built its reputation on the road. This journey led them across Europe and the United Kingdom, playing to diverse audiences, from Rock for People to Hellfest. In 2011, already well-versed and identified as a highly organic rock band, they surprised everyone with their second album by incorporating synthetic sounds and chilling atmospheres for their cine-concert on the film "Dead of Night." This change of direction shaped everything that followed: a sonic exploration that could only be renewed by opening a new door with each album, never hesitating to take risks. Embracing their choices, they leveraged every difficulty by becoming their own self-financed producers. Like the Bison in the artwork, they even nearly disappeared, but this never tainted their creativity; on the contrary, it became their inspiration. In 2020, "Sisyphus" was released, the result of years of perseverance: a sophisticated rock, a stone they rolled all the way to the top, like in Camus's Sisyphus, only to ironically watch it fall back down a few weeks later before climbing back up with the EP "What's Next?" – The Sisyphus Sessions, an extension of the "Sisyphus" album recorded in July 2020, perfectly illustrating the band's selflessness and their need to write and record.
