Info:
SEVENTH STATION is taking their unconventionality up a notch, releasing their third release “On Shoulders of Giants,” revealing reimagined works of the 20th century modern composers. A colorful gratitude of the band’s classical heritage, this 5-track EP is pushed to the limit by surrealistic themes through virtuous expression, released by Dutch record label Layered Reality Productions.
“On Shoulders of Giants” is a daring polystylistic work by this Slovenian, Turkish, and Israeli progressive entity, exemplifying another step ahead in their aesthetic aspiration. Rejecting a contagious climate of separationism, this EP is led by the motivation to pioneer in crafting a free-thinking art-metal, defying a reality of sustainable war, immutable radicalism, attention-based economy, and conformist collectivism. Reimagining works of classical composers who were known as nonconformists and freethinkers, SEVENTH STATION quotes all with an artistically colorful twist into contemporary metal as a medium, along with the spirit of the underground scene as an artistic resistance, and the music itself as an opposite to the disposable culture of the instant.
Exploring stories sung in gibberish, Portuguese, and German, “On Shoulders of Giants” is a meditated record, unconquered by trends or fashions, built for audiences with an admiration of unconventional music, for followers of bands such as Spastic Ink and Secret Chiefs 3, but also for those who love their Prog pushed to the limits: humorous, full of tantrums and a recognition of a cartoonish reality, a tightly packed experience and a strong eccentric message of self-identity.

Biography:
Formed and led by Slovenian based guitarist Dimitri Alperovich, and consisting of band members Turkish keyboardist Eren Başbuğ (mostly known from his work with Dream Theater and Jordan Rudess), Israeli vocalist Davidavi Dolev (Subterranean Masquerade), Ukrainian-Israeli bass player Alexy Polyanski (Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance), and Slovenian drummer Grega Plumbeger (Cordura).
SEVENTH STATION is always a home for aspiring and experimental artistry with a great passion for challenges and theatrics. Despite the global spread of the members, Alperovich successfully gathered the musicians he believes to be the exact suit for the band’s music, spanning through the USA, Slovenia and the Middle East, and later on performed in Europe.
With three albums on their belt, the intuitive "Between Life & Dreams" (2016), its dark calculated and frenzied successor "Heal the Unhealed" (2022), the radically artistic 2025 release "On Shoulders of Giants," and with a fourth record in the making, SEVENTH STATION is striding towards an authentic strict, endeavoring on fulfilling themselves as genuine authors, truthful to their craft and distinguished by their composition technique with each member recognized internationally for their former work in the world of progressive and classical music.
