Will Haven drop 5 Of Fire from upcoming album VII

Will Haven have announced their seventh album VII, and shared a brand-new single.

The Sacramento hardcore legends will be releasing VII in full on July 7 via Minus Head, with guitarist Jeff Irwin teasing of the record: “We began working on songs right before COVID hit, so we spent those years just messing around with ideas, riffs, and arrangements. The creation of this record was a bit of a process, but it gave us an escape from everything else going on in the world.

“To this day, I am still trying to wrap my head around this record,” Jeff continues. “It’s heavy, chaotic, mellow, beautiful and dark. It’s more of an art piece than your normal standard songs, and that’s exactly what we wanted. I love hearing it in its entirety and am looking forward to performing all of the songs. It’s even more of a journey when you hear it live.”

Watch the video for new single 5 Of Fire – which Jeff calls “the blueprint” for VII – below:
