Artist History SEVENTH ONE are undoubtelly the hottest newcomer coming from Sweden since Hammerfall's debut. The quintet was founded in 1997 by the guitarists Christopher Hermansson and Johannes Losbäck, who found the perfect addition with Norwegian viking vocalist Rhino. The Swedes Jörgen Olsson (bass) and R. Kellgren (drums) completed the line up. With their first two recorded songs SEVENTH ONE immediatelly won the Music Contest of the Swedish west coast and were awarded for best instrumentalists, best singer and...best band. Afterwards the band released a 4-track demo in 1999 which could cause a lot of attention in the metal scene. Rock Hard chose the band for their "Unerhört"-CD sampler and also Heavy oder was? recognized the enormous potential of SEVENTH ONE and picked them for their "Hottest unsigned bands"-CD sampler. With those tracks chosen SEVENTH ONE could massively improve their acceptance in the metal scene even in the demo stadium and several deal offers logically followed. Producer Lars Ratz (Metalium) decided to produce the band and SEVENTH ONE signed a deal with Massacre Records.In January 2002 the recordings for the debut album"Sacrifice" started at the Tornado Studio in Hamburg, Germany with Lars Ratz producing. For the cover artwork one of Europe's most famous artist Markus Mayer (Nightwish, Metalium, Edenbridge, Grave Digger a.o.) could be won. The mastering took place in the famous Soundgarden studio in Hamburg. SEVENTH ONE combine the ultra-tight Swedish playing instrumentalists with the outstanding Norwegian feel for melodies and rough quires, offered the listener the best of both Scandinavian parts in one! "Sacrifice" impresses with metal in its purest form and an extraordinary professionalism on a debut. Uptempo smashers like "Eternal Life in Lies", "Sacrifice" or "Eternally" impress as well as the mid-tempo "Hollowed Ground" or the majestic "Sventh Eye". Singer Rhino's strong voice is far away from high-pitched screaming by other bands and the big advantage of SEVENTH ONE are their Viking choirs which give them a great own profile. SEVENTH ONE are metal, without any doubt. Don't miss this one!
