Subseven (sometimes styled as sub7even or subseven) is a Christian rock band formed in 1999 in Weatherford, Oklahoma.[1] They played for four years as an independent in the Midwest, where they released one album and one EP and gained a large local fan base. In 2003, they signed a record deal with Flicker Records and soon after released Subseven: the EP. One year later they released their final album, Free to Conquer.

The band's members included Wesley Fite, Clint McManaman, Reed Corbin, Caleb Wilkerson and Jake Sullivan before their breakup in December 2005.[2] Since their breakup in 2005, the band members have engaged in other musical activities, including other bands and solo projects. In November 2007, their bass guitarist, Reed Corbin, died from a heart attack at the age of 33.[3]

In 2015, the band announced that they would be reuniting and playing a show on July 24, 2015 in Oklahoma City; they have not played a show since.[4]

In 2024, member Clint McManaman was a guest on The BlackSheep Podcast, speaking about the formation, breakup, and future of the band. [5]
