In 2025, Seven Factor had an active year, releasing singles that culminated in the Room 101 EP and reissuing The Suicide Diaries. Looking ahead, the industrial black metal project is set to unveil an ambitious album titled Babalon, featuring 52 tracks shared weekly throughout 2026. Founder Seven Dunbar describes the work as “less an album, more an unfolding,” focusing on themes of devotion and identity through a fragmented narrative. Physical editions will be released in four volumes, with the first volume set to launch in November 2025.
Considering this innovative approach to music release, how might the ritualistic nature of weekly singles redefine the relationship between artists and their audience in an era of instant gratification?
