WILL HAVEN’s seventh LP, VII was released in the Summer of 2023 to widespread praise from media and fans alike. Recorded and engineered by Joe Johnston at Pus Cavern (Deftones, Dance Gavin Dance, Hoods), produced and mixed by Joe Johnston and WILL HAVEN, and mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music, VII surges with some of the band’s heaviest and darkest material to date, taking longtime fans back to their earliest records, while expanding on the atmospheric and immersive qualities of the band’s sound. The band toured the West and East Coasts of the US including sets at Crucialfest, Furnace Fest, and more, and toured across the UK and parts of Europe in support of the record.
Following the release of VII, this year the band took fans back to the days of their prior band, Sock, and released the band’s cult solitary album, 3243. Sock’s members would go on to form Far, Crosses, and of course WILL HAVEN.
“WILL HAVEN never dropped below a constant level of excellence… Their best album yet? What the hell… Yeah, it is.” – Decibel Magazine
“…shows why their peers hold the cult heroes in such high esteem: Dense and dynamic… Devilish stuff.” – Revolver Magazine
“Pick a band. Any band… they still won’t be capable of conjuring the profane noise that WILL HAVEN have perfected for over a quarter of a century. The latest irrefutable evidence of this arrives with their stunning new outing VII. Welcome to the antithesis of easy listening, folks.” – Kerrang Magazine
“…there is no room for fucking around on VII. These songs are uniformly short, snappy and savage, and WILL HAVEN sound as engaged, enraged and fired up as they did back in ’97… This is the sound of true originals on top form.” – Blabbermouth
“Ultimately, WILL HAVEN have never needed any help to sound absolutely massive, and yet as they continue to push at the limits of their sound, somehow they’ve grown even bigger on VII.” – Distorted Sound
