Great song! This is the band I am bummed about missing most this year.

I think i have a new seventh wonder song

 

[General Zod]

Very high quality. Impressively well executed. Awesome lead play. Great production. However, the songwriting just isn't my cup of tea.

 

[Metal66]

Awesome video, can't wait to see them and hear the new cd. I hope they bring shirts:hotjump:

 

[Fire breath]

Great tune. Sounds like a top 15 contender!

 

[zedowns]

LOVE that chorus. Killer song, the idea of a 30 minute song kinda worries me though.

Oh yeah!!!!! Hope they play this next week!!

 

[7thSaviour]

This song kicks ass! I sure hope they include this one in their set!cool:

 

[KYF_Cincinnati]

Great song, big chorus. Great video. I prefer this style of video in which the cameras focus on the instruments and the players playing them as opposed to say... the latest KAMELOT video which actually distracts me from the music. A video should help add to the sonic portion, not distract from it.

 

[CarolinaDeLeo]

What amazing vocals!!!

 

[compurocker]

Awesome.

Seventh Wonder (much like Circus Maximus) have achieved the ultimate recipe for writing melodic prog metal songs in my opinion. The technicality and musicianship is superb, the vocals are godly (you can't get much better than Mike and Tommy) and the hooks and melodies are just unreal. This song is great, as I expect their next album to be. I am upset I will miss them playing at ProgPower, but I have a feeling they will be back.

This is one of my favorite bands. Having said that, none of their music has ever been instant gratification for me. It's odd, the elements are everything I look for in my music but the songs don't usually grab me at first spin. But with every spin it sticks its hooks in me deeper and deeper until I can't take the cd out of the player. I have high hopes for this release. I can't believe I may miss them next Friday.

A lot of solid posts in this thread. Really looking forward to this song and these guys. The Saturday show should be something special.

One of my favorite bands as well - can't wait to see them in just 5 days. As someone else mentioned, it was the same for me with Mercy Falls - it took repeated listens to really get into the songs and I love them now. With WITW, I instantly loved them through. Looking forward to the new album!
