Seventh Wonder to return with 'Tiara' album

Heeding the ravenous Seventh Wonder fans' requests to hear new music from the band, Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to finally announce the release of 'Victorious', the first single off of Seventh Wonder's brand new studio album 'Tiara', which is scheduled for release on October 12th

Hailing from Sweden, progressive metal greats Seventh Wonder are thrilled to be releasing their long in the making fifth studio album 'Tiara', their first batch of new material since 'The Great Escape', originally released in 2010. Having previously released via Frontiers the live album and long-form video, 'Welcome to Atlanta' (recorded at the ProgPower Festival in 2014), the band is now ready to "unleash the beast"!

Says bassist Andreas Blomqvist, "It has been many years in the making, but it is finally done and we couldn't be happier with it. 'Tiara' is everything you have come to expect from Seventh Wonder, but I also hope there are some new flavors in there to keep it interesting. We really didn't think too much about what sound we were going for, nor did we have to force it, it all came natural, albeit slow this time around... We are super proud of this album and we are so much looking forward to sharing it with you!"

Continues Andreas, "'Victorious' was the first song on the album that was completed. It wasn't written first, but it was the first one we sat down and wrote the lyrics for, so it is special to us. I am thrilled to finally be able to share a song off of 'Tiara' with you!"

Originally formed in Stockholm in 2000, the band debuted in 2005 with 'Become'. The second album, 'Waiting in the Wings' - and first to feature Tommy Karevik on vocals - followed in 2006. Two more successful records, the concept album, 'Mercy Falls' (2008) and 'The Great Escape' (2010) followed before the band went on a hiatus of sorts following singer Tommy Karevik being chosen to take Roy Kahn's place in Kamelot.

Sweden's progressive metallers Seventh Wonder have announced their fifth full-length album, 'Tiara'.

Here is the message from the band:

"Dear friends,

It is with great pleasure that I can share with you this exciting news:

Seventh Wonder is back with their fifth studio album, titled 'Tiara'.

The new album is now in the final stages of mixing, and it is being mixed at Lionheart Studio in Oslo, Norway by Oyvind Voldmo Larsen (who also mixed 'Inner Enemy' and 'The Promise').

It is the first studio album to feature Stefan Norgren on drums, and in two weeks the album will be passed on to Jens Bogren of Fascination studios for mastering. Jens has previously worked on albums by Symphony X, Katatonia, Opeth and James LaBrie.

The 13 tracks of this concept album will visit some new sonic spaces for Seventh Wonder, while staying true to their form.

After the mastering, the finished album will be delivered to Frontiers Records for a world wide release.

“We've watched you since the dawn of time,
with every moment gone by.
A million suns fade and die,
this is the end?”

Beware, for they're coming….!
#Tiara
