Seven Witches released a Demo-CD in 1998 which gave them a record deal with Massacre Records. The first two CDs Second War In Heaven and City Of Lost Souls featured vocalist Bobby L. Bobby Lucas was the one who named the band and wrote the lyrics with Jack Frost, Bobby Lucas left the band in 2000 and was replaced with Wade Black who left Crimson Glory for Seven Witches.
With Wade Black on vocals, the band recorded their 3rd Studio Album Xiled To Infinity And One. Wade Black left the band in 2002 and was replaced with James Rivera (Helstar). Bass Guitar player Billy Mez also left the band in 2002 and was replaced with the well known Joey Vera who has played in Fates Warning, Anthrax, and Armored Saint.
James Rivera gained huge success and recorded two albums with the band, Passage To The Other Side and Year Of The Witch. James left the band in 2005 to continue with his main project, Helstar.
In June, 2005, singer Alan Tecchio (most known for his work with the band Hades) joined Seven Witches and recorded their sixth studio album, Amped. Alan joined the band after singing on "Hell or High Water", a song for Jack Frost solo project. Frost, satisfied with Tecchio's vocals, asked him to join the band. Shortly after that, Kevin Bolembach also joined as Seven Witches' new bass player. Kevin and Alan had played together in Non-Fiction from 1991 to 1996.
Seven Witches released "Deadly Sins" in 2007. Former bass player Joey Vera mixed the album.

Atlantis
Seven Witches Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you must behold
Time and time again the tale is told
A super race of human kind light years beyond us all
then disaster made the greatest city fall
See them racing towards the end
For them the sun son't shine again
Once this place was paradise before the great flood came
Man and beast in harmony the same
Waters edge now rises high, the time to flee is here
All their lives it's what they've learned to fear
Oceans of time will call into the night sky dying
Now hear the spirits cry, the great Atlantis rising
Oceans of time will fall into the black depths crying
Now feel the spirits fly - the great Atlantis rising!
Many seek the city lost to see if it was true
Not just some bedtime tale once told to you
A massive grave beneath the sea is all that now remains
An Atlantean escape was made that day
See Atlantis rising
See Atlantis rising
See Atlantis rising - rising!
The lyrics of Seven Witches's song "Atlantis" explore the legendary tale of the lost city of Atlantis. The song speaks of a once-great civilization of superhuman beings, who existed beyond the scope of our understanding before their city fell into the depths of the ocean. It describes them as a people living in a natural paradise where humans and beasts coexisted in harmony until they were faced with the rising tide of the ocean, threatening their existence. The citizens of Atlantis knew all their lives that they might face such a time, and when it arrived, they were left with no choice but to flee.
The song's chorus is a moment of heightened tension, depicting the citizens racing towards the end, knowing that the sun would never shine again for them. The ballad is about the search for something that is almost mythical, representing the curiosity we have about our past and our search for a deeper understanding of it. It speaks of the movement of time and how it brings about change, making what we once thought to be permanent, lost.
