Editorial review
For a group that's performed spiritual and pagan rock together for seven years, Alchemy VII certainly seems a fitting name. And it will hardly come as a surprise that they've released a seven-song, self-titled EP as well. "The Natural Order of Things" is a blues-style production from the standpoint of Mother Earth. Well, to start it is. It kinda spins off into honky tonk when the tempo picks up. And it is characteristic, with lead vocalist Gina Citoli going over the top, reaching for the big sound. She needs to learn when to moderate rather than shout. Credit where due, it turns into a lively romp on the chorus "you're messin' with your Momma," and, overall, brings itself off as fun. Less successful is "Follow the Eagle," a tribute to the symbol of liberty. It has some effective harmonies, but an excessive interlude of "la-la-la" (literally). Needs to cut to the chase. Also, a "word to the lyricist: scholars" does not rhyme with "sailors." Get out the thesaurus and try again. "Shapeshifter" may indeed have the self-described killer vocals mentioned on MP3.com, yet, awkwardly, it's lacking on the lyrics: "we're running out of time/walking a fine line." C'mon -- they've done better than that on "Alchemist" from their other release, The Magick, Vol. 1. Please, work on those lyrics! So, once again, it's a mixture, yet it does show promise. And since this EP contains additional releases, different from The Magick, Vol. 1, fans of the band will likely want it as well. ~ Murrday Fisher, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Alchemy VII presents thoughtful, powerful, female-fronted melodic rock music.
It is conceptual, ethereal and life-enhancing music, which focuses upon the spirit of the human race and the possibilities that we can unlock with an environmental and spiritual consciousness and awareness, encouraging the best from each and every one of us.
It is enthralling, intoxicating stuff! Repeated plays have certainly paid dividends, and I am sure will continue to do so." - Fireworks Magazine
"The Magic they produce is intensely necessary." Says Music Dish of New York
Alchemy VII has been described as "Fantastic" & "Brilliant with mind bending visuals and tremendous vocals." Truly inspirational!
Magick at it's musical best!
"Gina Citoli commands your attention with a power that evokes Grace Slicks Anthems of Love and Peace stated with an even greater sense of urgency." The Edge Magazine Minneapolis.

It's as if someone took wicca and gave it a degree in music. And, please don't consider this an insult, but I think World of Warcraft is missing a few good troubadors. Superb stuff. Buy it!
