Bio:

Seventh Wonder is a progressive metal band from Stockholm, Sweden formed in 2000. They are currently working on their 5th studio album, which is planned for a 2017 release.Seventh Wonder was formed in 2000 by bass player Andreas Blomqvist, guitarist Johan Liefvendahl and drummer Johnny Sandin after their previous band fell apart. Their music started to develop in the direction of progressive metal and as the band was joined by keyboard player Andreas Kyrt Söderin late 2000, the new sound was cemented further.Two demos were recorded, the first in 2001 (Seventh Wonder) and the second in 2003 (Temple In The Storm), both of which received good press.Many singers have come and gone in Seventh Wonder over the years, among others Ola Halén of power metal band Insania Sthlm. The longest lasting member in the past was Andi Kravljaca (ex: Heave, Elsesphere, now Silent Call), and it was with Kravljaca at the microphone that the band recorded their debut album Become (released in 2005), after landing a record deal with Finland's Lion Music. Prior to the release of Become in 2005, Tommy Karevik joined the band. Become was well received by the press and top scores were given everywhere. However, the band and Andi decided to part ways shortly after the recording process had ended and once more the search for a singer started.The next album, entitled Waiting in the Wings, was recorded in 2006 and was mixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen. Waiting in the Wings got even better reviews than Become did, scoring multiple top scores of 10 out of 10 "Review by "Progressor.net"". Nov 10, 2006., "Review by "TreeHouse of Death"". Feb 14, 2007., "Review by "Prognaut"". Jan 10, 2007. Archived from the original on 2009-10-22., "Review by "Living For Metal"". Oct 18, 2006., not too common in the business.2007 was a year of writing new material and playing live. During 2007 Seventh Wonder played in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, England and the Netherlands together with acts such as Jorn Lande, Pagan's Mind, Queensryche, Testament, Sun Caged and Redemption. In August 2007 the band parted ways with Intromental Management, but continued to work with Lion Music.Seventh Wonder released their next album, Mercy Falls, on September 12, 2008. It is a concept album about a man who drops into a coma after a car crash and dreams of a place called Mercy Falls, while his family tries in vain to wake him from his sleep. In December 2009, they began writing material for The Great Escape. They entered the studio in April 2010, and posted regular updates on their official forum and YouTube channel.The album The Great Escape was released on December 3, 2010, and was very well received by fans and critics.Before the release of the album, drummer Johnny Sandin quit the band for private reasons.On April 25, 2011, Seventh wonder announced that Stefan Norgren had replaced Sandin as the Band's drummer.In June 2012, Tommy Karevik was announced as Kamelot's new singer, but stated that he has no intention of leaving Seventh Wonder.On September 7, 2013, the band announced they will be recording a live DVD at 2014 ProgPower USA Festival, performing songs from their album Mercy Falls in its entirety for the first and final time.In 2016, the band signed with Italian record company Frontiers Records to release the live CD/DVD called Welcome To Atlanta Live 2014 on September 23, 2016 and also a new studio album that is expected to be released in 2017.

Album:

It’s been eight long years since Sweden’s Progressive Metal veterans SEVENTH WONDER released an album. That’s a long time to be out of the game, but fortunately, fans have rabidly been awaiting this release and it doesn’t seem to have affected the band’s fan base. Indeed, quite the opposite. People have been lining up and waiting for this release for some time now. “Arrival” is a short keyboard opening piece, setting an ominous tone for what it to come. It segues into “The Everones,” which opens with a somber and intense guitar riff, leading to vocal harmonies and some Proggy time meters. A big chorus ensues, with plenty of emotions, where vocalist Tommy really stretches out, followed by a keyboard solo that will really get your juices flowing. “Dream Machines” features a chugging guitar riff that explores here and there, and some tender vocals. The sound is all over the place, cutting in and out with snippets of melody but hardly lasting long enough for you to get used to one particular passage. He caps it with a high wail at the end.“Against the Grain” opens with acoustical guitars that leads to a lead guitar passage that climbs the scale with grace and beauty, and a keyboard solo that follows the melody line very well. What follows is an exercise in Progressive Metal madness…trading off passages of pure beauty with ones that rattle with shifting meters and changing keys. “Victorious” is a proclamation of winning; a stalwart sound that rings with the gloats of a conquering hero. The chorus reflects this with a full and rich sound and something that you can sing along with easily. It makes you feel alive, and capable of taking on anything. Then comes the “Farewell” trilogy, which in total is close to 20 minutes in length. “Tiara’s Song” is the first movement; a charming track that features equal parts of guitar pyrotechnics and vocal domination. The second movement, “Goodbye” a heart-felt anguish. Supple piano keys open the song with vocals that are throb with expressive sorrow. It culminates in a crescendo and then slowly fades away.“Beyond Today” is the third and final movement. Piano notes and background vocals dance together in unison, while Tommy delivers one of the most memorable vocal performances on the album, where they end with talking about “how the best is yet to come,” and they have convinced you of this. “The Truth” features bass guitar notes dancing under a track of heavy endearment that also features a brief passage of female vocals that join in with the fantasy with power and beauty. “By the Light of the Funeral Pyres” is an anthem of pure aggression and fast-moving guitars that never lets up. The pyrotechnics illuminate the sky in tones of deep red and bright purple, something that freezes you in your footsteps and draws you in to its stunning sound. “Damnation Below” opens with fanciful guitar riff that is soon followed by a heavy sound with solemn tones. Moments of levity break up the feeling of censure that you get from the title of the song.The very brief “Procession” leads to the closer and the longest song on the album, “Exhale.” This song has it all…rowdy and firey passages of pure angst and emotion, thoughtful and preserved passages that swirl with beauty and charm, and a feeling of something closing around you, as it ends in a celebration of all that is good in your life with a satisfying smile and inward peace. Eight long years was well worth the wait. They have their craft so honed now, that they can practically finish each other’s sentences. The production is key here, so consummate that everything can be heard in its proper place. Every note, every key change and time change, performed so flawlessly that it is remarkable and thrilling to listen to. Yet, the pure beauty of it remains….what made you fall in love with the band in the first place.
