The title 'Sounding the Seventh Trumpet' takes its name from the Book of Revelation,[2] specifically referencing chapter 11 and the sounding of the last (seventh) trumpet, heralding the end of the world.[14] Valary DiBenedetto (M. Shadows' future wife) performs vocals on the track "The Art of Subconscious Illusion."[10][15] The album was released on vinyl for the first time in 2008 in the US.
