Seven Hours After Violet

Seven Hours after Violet is a new band formed in 2024, featuring Shavo Odadjian (bass, System of a Down), Taylor Barber (vocals, Left to Suffer), Michael Montoya (guitar, Winds of Plague), Alejandro Aranda (guitar, backing vocals) and Josh Johnson (drums, Winds of Plague). Their lyrics often turn to themes of personal struggle, growth and darkness whereas musically, they blend metalcore, alternative metal and nu-metal to forge a unique sound and explore creative avenues they can’t develop in their primary bands. Their self-titled debut album ‘Seven Hours after Violet’ dropped in October 2024 and received positive reviews. Critics praised the well-balanced mix of heavy riffs and melodic elements, singling out tracks like ‘Paradise’ and ‘Alive’. They’ve been gathering steam and they’re hot right now so get a taste! #GMM25
