Seven Kingdoms (band)

Seven Kingdoms are an American Power Metal band that combine influences from American bands like Iced Earth and European bands like Blind Guardian. Their lyrics are typically fantasy-inspired, and their first album was inspired by George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (which is also the inspiration for their band name).

They got some exposure to American fans of European metal when they opened for Blind Guardian on their 2010 North American tour.

 * Power Metal: A mix of the American and European styles.
 * Soprano and Gravel: The second album, which has a female lead vocalist, has a bit of this.
