SEVENTH CALLING is a 4 piece hard rock / heavy metal band currently based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that has been churning out its very own unique brand of heavy music since the group's debut album released in 2007 to current status, and who also has released highly acclaimed albums through 2016.  

“Held together since 2004 by the sheer will and Tenacity of Lead Guitarist, Lead Vocalist- Steve Handel - A man with a vision, has finally gotten a serious band for the long hall. The new record has awesome songs with diversity and dare I say eclecticism. Hailing from Sioux Falls, SD. They have made a new record - Battle Call - without a bad track on it. I highly suggest that people who enjoy these genre's get a copy.”

Kenny Larson - The Gauntlet

Seventh Calling continue(s) to perform their engaging original and unique brand of traditionally flavored heavy metal music style with shades of thrash and old school anthems, at full ear splitting power while showcasing their regal command of the stage.. After one takes a listen to any album from the band's catalog, it becomes obvious that Seventh Calling is a group that is welcomed back to the stage in 2025 as it is possibly even more relevant today.

Basically, Seventh Calling plays traditional heavy power metal, pretty much a genre forgotten in the States, which is also a damn shame. So in this fine tradition the band works from the essential elements of twin guitar harmony with sharp and assertive riffs, a hammering, steady to swift rhythm section, and generally clean melodic vocals. Of course these things are enlivened and embellished with an abundance of ripping and roaring guitar solos. It's a tried and true formula, and Seventh Calling has it nailed down.”
