‘Strangers’ is an atmospheric and brooding tale, exploring the complicated emotions that surround tumultuous relationships. Through reverb-drenched melodies, explosive choruses and some of the band’s most spine-tingling vocal work to date, the single highlights both the power and the importance of self-care.
Speaking on the new single, vocalist Azaria Nasiri shares:
“For me, ‘Strangers’ is about that moment you catch yourself and realise, ‘Wow, I’ve totally lost who I am because I was so focused on saving someone else.’ It’s about that draining cycle of giving and giving in a toxic relationship until your own needs just don’t exist anymore.
“The song’s really about taking yourself back. It’s about making that hard choice to walk away and go back to being strangers. Not just with them, but with the version of you who carried all their stuff. It’s an act of self-love, and a way of finding your way back home to yourself.”
The track follows the release of their previous singles ‘Cold Eyes‘, ‘No Breakout‘, ‘To The Unknown‘, ‘Monsters‘, ‘As We Bleed‘, the cathartic ‘House ≠ Home‘ and their debut release ‘Killing From The Inside‘, all of which are available for streaming now.
Building on the growing success that each new single has brought them, including tours alongside bands such as Future Palace, Ankor and Conquer Divide to name a few, SEVEN BLOOD‘s debut album Life Is Just A Phase is set to elevate the band from exciting newcomers into a force to be reckoned with. The album is brimming with raw emotion and captivating honesty, weaving introspective and personal storytelling with an anthemic soundtrack to create a powerful, relatable record.
On the upcoming full-length release, Nasiri shares:
“We’ve poured all our musicality and passion into this debut album. This work marks an exciting new chapter in our band’s history, and we’re proud of the result. It captures us as SEVEN BLOOD perfectly.”

SEVEN BLOOD are a band born from a collective moment of personal crisis, who now want to provide the soundtrack to recovery for fans going through their own traumatic times. The quartet’s deeply personal songs lay bare the stories of the contrasting life journeys of its members. Born just a couple of years before the fall of the Berlin Wall and growing up in the former German Democratic Republic powerhouse of Suhl, guitarist Oli Arnold and drummer Anfy Hartmann knew only their home city’s slow and brutal urban decline. “Growing up in such an environment, in a ghost town, played a bigger role than I ever anticipated,” Oli says. “It’s only really now, being able to look back, that I realise how big an impact it had on me.”
Germany’s capital was home to Azaria Nasiri, though SEVEN BLOOD‘s future vocalist struggled to see it that way. The daughter of a Moroccan mother and Iranian father, who had fled Iran during the revolution in the 1970s, Azaria spent her youth fighting to understand her place. “Growing up there was a lot of frustration and insecurity as I always felt like I could not fully identify with my world around me,” Azaria says. “I came from two very different cultural backgrounds, and lived in another one entirely, which left me feeling like I was always looking for somewhere to belong and never truly finding it.”
It would take many years for the trio to come together in SEVEN BLOOD in the sprint of 2023 – bassist Josi Hille joining later still – with the musicians finding one other while each stood at a personal, emotional and creative crossroads. “Seven Blood was born of each of us suffering personal crises and holding a desire to use music to help us process and overcome those events,” Oli says. With the band’s vision for a heavy hitting yet highly melodic sound still many months from being refined, the only focus in their early rehearsal sessions was to be as open and honest with each other as possible, and to channel their personal and collective pain into songs.
That, ultimately, is SEVEN BLOOD‘s mission: to provide that same safety and support for fans to find their own empowerment through vulnerability.
