The story of 7Keys began with guitarist Márcio Teixeira, whose passion for heavy metal started at just six years old. Although initially considered too young to learn electric guitar, his determination remained constant. After years of self-teaching, Teixeira refined his skills under the mentorship of internationally recognised guitarist Paulo Barros. It was during this period, while performing in a musical production in Portugal, that he met bassist Igor Rodrigues, laying the foundations for what would become 7Keys. Drawing inspiration from the melodic power and energy associated with bands such as Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, and Iron Maiden, 7Keys have developed a sound rooted in strong identity and musical storytelling. The album Gæa stands as a compelling statement of intent: melodic metal driven by intricate musicianship, atmospheric textures, and compositions designed to stay with the listener long after the final note. Each track opens a new chapter in the band’s evolving sonic world, balancing technical excellence with genuine emotional resonance. |
