ProgCenter Seventh Wonder Update - New Single released

Well how Could I knew that a couple of days after I posted my last post on the blog, about Seventh Wonder. The band itself would release the single for their new album.
On June 27th of this year 2014, they announced the new video on their Facebook account, follow them if you feel like it

The New video it's called Inner Enemy
I really enjoyed the song, it continues a bit from where they kept on The Great Escape, however now the progressive and power metal styles pratically had a fusion that resulted in this song, hope for more progressive songs in the album at the moment without a name

I am really glad. knowing that between The Great Escape and this new material Tommy Karevik started their presence on Kamelot is good to know that he kept true to himself and Seventh Wonder, it's not easy to find Kamelot influences on Tommy when he is with Seventh Wonder and that's hard to achieve.
So I leave you with Inner Enemy and the lyrics, posted by the band today on facebook. During the next week I hope to be able to write about another band of one of the singers I already talked about, will not be easy to guess of who am I talking and about a band that is more into black/progressive metal, which released new material on last month, stay tuned


For a man that never prayed upon salvation
It’s quiet when the world is breaking down
But when the neon light is calling
Gotta search for one more fix
A rat race for a man-made crown

Please... Help me! Help me, somebody…
My heart is open wide!
Save me and just maybe I'll survive...

You gotta get up and go...
Hey!
Tonight is the night
And I'm gonna face my Inner Enemy!
Get up because
Hey!
This is your life
And it's time to kill your Inner Enemy…

Cause we are pushing through as flashing lights go by us
Our good intentions pave the way for greed
So we are running through an endless maze
A wicked society
With smoke and mirrors, ecstasy…

Please... Help me! Help me, somebody…
My heart is on the line!
Save me and just maybe I'll survive...

Chorus

Not gonna make it on your own
Trying to fly
But you keep falling like angels to the ground
You brought the world to its knees
And forced us to rise
To kill the limelight that blinded your eyes

Chorus

I'm gonna give myself
One fighting chance
To face my inner enemy
Get up because
One too many have died
And it's time to kill your inner enemy…

ProgCenter - Seventh Wonder (Mercy falls 2008) and The Great Escape (2010)

Today I bring to you, Seventh Wonder, most of You might know this band because of new Kamelot's vocalist Tommy Karevik. However even before he went to Kamelot, Seventh Wonder was already a band to follow

Their Sound varies between a more progressive one, great composition, changes of pace, mixed with an harmonic or melodic style, mixing well all the elements, and another style more near to power progressive metal. Mercy Falls from 2008 has songs more into power progressive than The great Escape where you have, long songs with lots of variety in the song, almost seeming like a jam session.



Mercy Falls from 2008, was the album where I first met the band, the construction is well planned, not to harsh changes, with power metal influences all over, a somewhat mystical style in the air in their songs. The band member were as follows:

  • Tommy Karevik - Vocals
  • Andreas "Kyrt" Söderin - Keyboard
  • Johan Liefvendahl - Guitar
  • Andreas Blomqvist - Bass guitar
  • Johnny Sandin - Drums
  • Jenny Karevik - Female vocals

On A great Escape, the progressive elements are more present, more guitar solo, keyboard more influent, for those who are not so fans of the keyboards you may feel a bit disapointed. However I feel the band sound as one is more fluent, more symbiotically mixed, we see more harmony in the sound.
The Band members were as follow:
  • Tommy Karevik - Vocals
  • Andreas Söderin - Keyboard
  • Johan Liefvendahl - Guitar
  • Andreas Blomqvist - Bass
  • Johnny Sandin - Drums
  • Jenny Karevik - Guest Vocals on Long Way Home and The Great Escape






Today I leave you with Welcome to mercy Falls from 2008's album Mercy Falls and Alley Cat from a Great Escape, official video, this one from A Great Escape. keep paying attention to Karevik work with Kamelot but never forget to check Seventh Wonder as it's really worthing. They are releasing a new album soon we are expecting it for sure.
