│║ Description : ║ │

│║ www.sigfridsson.net/7days ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ A journey of faith and the pursuit of redemption ║ │
│║ are intesnely personal, and each individual must ║ │
│║ face them in their own way in their own time. ║ │
│║ The Swedish melodic metal band 7Days has ║ │
│║ captured those beautiful and often painful steps ║ │
│║ towards inner peace with a collection of songs ║ │
│║ that showcase the band's beliefs and their ║ │
│║ ability to write and play with talent and ║ │
│║ conviction equal to the subject. The end result ║ │
│║ is Weight of the World, a symphonic, progressive ║ │
│║ classic that draws you into their world of ║ │
│║ optimism and hope while maitaining it's metallic ║ │
│║ edge. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Guitarist Markus Sigfridsson has gathered a ║ │
│║ talented and well-known group of musicians for ║ │
│║ this project, and their pedigree shows in the ║ │
│║ final product. Markus shows excellent chops ║ │
│║ while handling both guitar and keyboard duties ║ │
│║ and displays a unique ability to balance a metal ║ │
│║ sound with his symphonic arrangements. His ║ │
│║ riffing and soloing are, as a point of ║ │
│║ reference, slightly similar to fellow Swedes ║ │
│║ Torben Enevoldsen and Magnus Karlsson, but he ║ │
│║ has his own flow and his own technique. To ║ │
│║ accompany his impressive compositions, he ║ │
│║ selected Thomas Vikstrom to bring the lyrics to ║ │
│║ life with his emotional and crystal clear ║ │
│║ delivery. His dynamic vocal and emotional range ║ │
│║ are on full display here. On bass, Andreas ║ │
│║ Olsson lends his expertise and impressive bottom ║ │
│║ end to the production. His long standing work ║ │
│║ with Veni Domine makes him an ideal choice for ║ │
│║ this music and subject matter. Rounding out the ║ │
│║ band is Danny Flores on drums and assistance ║ │
│║ with the recording and engineering. He is well- ║ │
│║ versed and highly respected in the prog ║ │
│║ community and is involved with numerous projects ║ │
│║ and bands. Using his stick skills and his ║ │
│║ professional ear can and does enhance anyone's ║ │
│║ music.s ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This music can best be described as melodic ║ │
│║ progressive with symphonic touches. The opener, ║ │
│║ Redeemer, is fairly indicative of the whole ║ │
│║ album as the upbeat riffage and Vikstrom's ║ │
│║ soaring vocals tell a tale of someone looking to ║ │
│║ make a new start in life and searching for a ║ │
│║ savior to guide the journey. There are some ║ │
│║ slight doom elements in the next two songs, ║ │
│║ Confession and The Darkest Winter as the tempo ║ │
│║ is slowed down with some ominously deep riffing. ║ │
│║ The highlight of the album is Fall Again, an ║ │
│║ absolutely massive symphonic tune that features ║ │
│║ alternating male/female vocals and showcases the ║ │
│║ band's versatility. They close out the album ║ │
│║ with a Veni Domine cover, Wisdom Calls. This ║ │
│║ arrangement is brighter and deeper while ║ │
│║ maintaining faithfulness to the original. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Weight of the World is a first class album for ║ │
│║ any fan of melodic metal. They have managed to ║ │
│║ incorproate many styles of music into a cohesive ║ │
│║ and total package to deliver their message of ║ │
│║ faith and hope. While many bands will try to ║ │
│║ pound their Christian beliefs into the listener, ║ │
│║ 7 Days displays tremeandous restraint as they ║ │
│║ lift spirits without being preachy. This album ║ │
│║ is an incredibly positive and uplifting ║ │
│║ listening experience and is not to be missed. ║ │
│║ Their combination of musicianship, songwriting ║ │
│║ and pure class make this one of the best albums ║ │
│║ of 2006. ║ │
