Seventh One
Информация о группе
Seventh One was formed in 1997 by Christoffer Hermansson (guitar) and Johannes Losbäck(guitar). They contacted fellow friends Jörgen Olsson(Bass), Jonny Edvardsson (Drums) and Rino Fredh (Vocals) to complete the line-up. Most of the members had played together in different band constellations before, and before long the band was hard at work rehearsing and writing own material. It was during this time that we decided to enter the biggest battle of the bands on the swedish west coast-"Rock Of Bohuslän". The band wrote and rehearsed 2 songs "Voyage Of The Damned" and "The Seventh Eye", and also Dios metal Classic "Don’t Talk To Strangers". In early 98 the group performed at the finals and took both the crowd and the jury by storm! Seventh One won 3 awards, best instrumentalist (Jonny), best vocalist (Rino) and best band.The triumph gave the band great media attention and First prize was 4 days locked up inside a local studio with all expenses paid.
The demo-cd was out on the streets at the end of summer 99 . One of the MetalMagazines which received the demo was Rock Hard. On the 11th of Nov. 99, they offered Seventh One a place on the compilation cd "Unerhört!" with the song "The Seventh Eye" from the demo.
This was an excellent chance for the band to promote ourselves. Around this time we changed drummer and called in Mats Karlsson. Again a musician that most of the bands members been playing with before. The band wrote some new songs as well as rearrange the old ones. In nov 2000 we recorded "The Celestial Prophecy" demo. This demo was totally made by ourselves (from recording to cover art) We actually recorded 12 songs but only 6 were sent out for promotion. Some of the songs were put online at www.mp3.com and the response was great! The reviews we got were all very good and "Heavy Oder Was? " the german MetalMag wanted to use one of our songs on their compilation cd of unsigned bands and that song was "Camelot" One of the labels that showed interest was Lars Ratz (Metalium) Armageddon and he promised us that he would stand behind the band 110 % to ensure a good production and good promotion as well as pushing us real hard in the studio. The deal he offered was very good indeed and he wanted to have us recording at his place in Hamburg, Germany! We parted ways with our drummer Mats and replaced him with Tobias R.Kellgren (And yet again , an old friend of the band and a very skilled musician)who stepped into the band just weeks before we vere scheduled to record our debut cd! We packed our bags and went to Tornado studios on the 9th of February. By the 25th of Feb we were finished with the recordings of all drums, all bass, most choirs and even some lead vocals were done. Lars then went on a well deserved vacation. On the 25th of March the recordings of the remaining lead vocals was laid down and when easter was over all that was left to do was some choirs and keyboards. a mixing session was preliminary scheduled for June but was done in August. On the 31th of September, the cd was mastered and was released on the 31th of October through Massacre in Europe! Later on it was realeased through Art Music in Russia and Hellion in South America.
"Sacrifice" got very cool feedback from Metal Media worldwide and some high points were the reviews in Kerrang, RocK hard, sweden rock just to mention a few. We didn't play any live shows in 2002 unfortunately, but we kicked ass at 2000 Decibel (Sweden) on a bill that was headlined by the reunited Candlemass!
In August the same year we performed at the Party stage at 13:00 at the legendary Wacken Open air festival in Germany, before an entusiastic crowd. Despite the ungodly hour we managed to give quite a few thousand a wake up call! At the end of 2003 we also played a low key gig at Club Nocturnal in Gothenburg and we had a real blast. In January 2004 we began the recordings of our sophomore cd. Again Tornado Studios in Hamburg was put to the task, supervised by Lars Ratz. The recordings of drums, bass, guitars and most of the solos were finished within a few weeks. Some months later the backing vox and additional guitars were added and in July the lead vocal recordings and harmony vocals were laid down. Mixing and mastering all happened very shortly after the recording process was finished and "What Should Not Be" is set for release, as a cool digipak release with killer artwork featuring nine songs in Europe via Armageddon Music on the 27th of Sep 2004. This time we also will have the cd released in Japan through Spiritual Beast sometime in October. This realease will have a special bonus track. To be continued.......
