Seventh
Wonder was formed in 2000 by bass player
Andreas Blomqvist, guitarist Johan Liefvendahl
and drummer Johnny Sandin after their
previous band fell apart. The music turned
towards the progressive side of 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
living member in the past was Andi Kravljaca
(ex: Heave, Elsesphere), and it was with
Andi at the microphone that the band recorded
their debut album Become (released in 2005),
after landing a record deal with Finland’s
Lion Music. Become was well received by
the press and top scores were given everywhere.
However,
the band parted ways with Andi shortly after
the recording process had ended and once
more the search for a singer started…The
brilliant Tommy Karevik (ex: Vindictiv)
was spotted and he joined the band in 2005,
actually prior to the release of Become.
The
new album entitled “Waiting In The
Wings” was recorded in 2006 and was
mixed and mastered by legendary Tommy Hansen
(Helloween, T.N.T) and engineered by Daniel
Flores (Mind’s Eye) and Seventh Wonder.
