SEVEN KINGDOMS have released the official video for “Sono Sola”, the title track and lead single from their sixth album. The Florida power metal band will release the album through Reigning Phoenix Music on 29 January 2027, following a successful Kickstarter campaign and a renewed deal with the label. The record is available for pre-order and pre-save, while the single is out now.
The current line-up is Sabrina Cruz on vocals, Camden Cruz and Kevin Byrd on guitars, and Keith Byrd on drums. The video was filmed by Camden Cruz near Groom Lake, with Camden also serving as director of photography. Jim Morris produced the music, mixed the album at Morrisound Recording, and worked with the band on the song’s composition. BJ Ramone mastered it at the same studio.
Ten songs move from “Twin Flames” to “Sono Sola”
The album opens with “Twin Flames” and continues through “Dissonance”, “The Serpent And The Lotus”, “Endless Night”, “Undone”, “Through These Waves”, “I Don’t Care”, “The Oracle” and “Five Tones” before closing with “Sono Sola”.
‘Sono Sola’ is the lead single from our upcoming album and our first introduction to a new sonic era for Seven Kingdoms. We’ve explored a deeper, darker landscape, both in our tuning and in my vocal delivery. On this song, I worked closely with my lower register, combining delicate nuances, raw grit and powerful belting.
- Sabrina Cruz, vocalist
Cruz says the lyrics focus on the knowledge gained through life, and on the humility that comes from recognising how little we understand despite learning more. She also connects the song with isolation, resilience, nostalgia and regret, including the feeling of missing something that cannot be recovered.
Filming the video alone in the barren landscape near Groom Lake made that feeling even more tangible. ‘Sono Sola’ is ultimately about isolation, resilience, nostalgia and regret, missing something deeply, knowing hindsight is 20/20, and realizing you can’t get back what’s gone.
- Sabrina Cruz, vocalist
Sabrina Cruz brings a lower vocal register to the single
Sabrina Cruz is the band’s vocalist and leads the new track with lower-register singing, rough grit and belting. Her performance reflects the darker direction the band says it explored for the album. The video places her alone in the desert landscape near Groom Lake, reinforcing the song’s themes of solitude and reflection.
SEVEN KINGDOMS formed in DeLand, Florida, in 2007 and had previously released the albums “Seven Kingdoms”, “The Fire Is Mine”, “Decennium” and “Zenith”, as well as the EP “The Square” in 2024. Guitarist Camden Cruz says the new record gave the band more time and resources to develop its ideas, describing it as the group’s most intensive work and the result of a united line-up.
Reigning Phoenix Music said the song showed the band’s progress across its writing, performances and production, and welcomed the continuation of its work with Seven Kingdoms.
