seventh avenue was a christian metal band from wolfsburg , germany , formed in 1989 .
consisting of guitarist/vocalist herbie langhans , guitarist florian gottsleben , bassist markus beck , and drummer mike pflüger , seventh avenue plays a hybrid style of speed and power metal with the focus on melodies .
the band launched a demo entitled `` first strike '' in 1993 but the loss of their guitarist delayed their first album , `` rainbowland '' , until 1995 .
they then signed with treasure hunt records .
their first release on this label , `` tales of tales '' , topped at 18 on the japanese heavy metal charts .
the 1998 release , `` southgate '' , was licensed to megahard records for release in brazil , where the band subsequently toured .
they have released 7 albums and an ep .
they released two albums , `` between the worlds '' and `` eternals '' , on massacre records , and released their seventh album titled `` terium '' on that label in 2008 .
