Afterall, Markus Sigfridsson (Darkwater\/Harmony\/All Things Fallen) has emerged as one of the more prolific artists and producers for this Swedish label\u2019s releases over the past decade and a half. Moreover, this album and Ulterium share a 15-year anniversary this year. For those not already acquainted with this particular incarnation of Sigfridsson, I\u2019ve included below portions of my original review from 2006.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"has-inline-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color\"><strong>7days \u2013 composed of guitarist\/songwriter Sigfridsson, bassist Andreas Olsson (Narnia), talented drummer\/producer Daniel Flores (Mind&#8217;s Eye) and vocalist Thomas Vikstrom \u2013 is Sigfridsson&#8217;s new band\/project. With Dream Theaterish guitar crunch dialed in to perfection (some great grooves here), complex vocal\/choral interplay and lush classical keyboards courtesy of guest Kaspar Dahlkvist it appears that Markus is going for a heavier and more symphonic\/progressive metal sound. Vikstrom is a strong, melodic singer who powerfully projects the message of struggle\/personal redemption found within the lyrics. As a tribute to their Swedish metal heritage the band includes a cover of Veni Domine&#8217;s \u201cWisdom Calls.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward 15 years and what we now enjoy is a new version of this great album which has actually been remixed (and not just remastered)! I remember during a 2007 interview with Markus for <em>Heaven\u2019s Metal<\/em> (Issue #70 Bloodgood\/Deliverance) discussing the mixing and production of the original release and he expressed that he had to mix the album twice but was content at the time with the final product. Well, it sounds as if that may have been his position in 2007, but he apparently felt the album didn\u2019t realize its full potential \u2013 these songs have literally been granted &#8220;new life&#8221; on this reissue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full spectrum of frequencies now includes a monster low end \u2013 can only imagine how good this would sound on vinyl. Everything just sounds more defined and weightier compared to the original. I did my usual A\/B comparison testing and this remix is significantly different from the original. The \u201cside by side\u201d sound test just exposes how \u201csmall\u201d and compressed the original was compared to the expansive aural spectrum of this reissue. I mean, it is literally like night and day \u2013 the listener fatigue gone now at high volume, the sibilance of the cymbals reduced, the bass drum has a killer punch\/kick now and the vocals just pop out in the mix. But that is not all\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are elements that have been added which are distinctly not present on the original. The opening track <strong>\u201cRedeemer\u201d<\/strong> features an ethereal sequence which has now been augmented with heavy \u201ctympanic\u201d sounds which lend a much more menacing storm-like quality to the intro, simultaneously providing more of crescendo into the heavy first verse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"7days - Redeemer [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T7LlkcbXxZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, <strong>\u201cConfession\u201d<\/strong> is now monster heavy track due to the bass drum having a much more prominent placement in the mix, but yet the song retains that brilliant\/elegant keyboard sequence\/riff in the outro. Progressive metal doesn\u2019t get much better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Darkest Winter\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 always the sleeper track on this album \u2013 is so much better now. The doomy qualities are augmented by big bass in the drum kick. I always thought this song \u2013 which reminds me so much of Veni Domine \u2013 was a bit anemic sounding on the original \u2026 not anymore! This song shreds!! And the softer closing section is so sweet now because of how the guitar sounds more defined, brighter in the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cFall Again\u201d<\/strong> features the vocal duet of Caroline Sigfridsson and Vikstrom in one of the most balladic songs on the record. This song has been given new life \u2013 world class quality \u2013 with this new mix. Lyrically, this song is one of the most transparent yet triumphant songs on the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><em><strong>\u201cOh, yes I will fall again\/But I will never fear the darkness\/Oh, cause you are my tourniquet\/and in Your name I\u2019ll pierce the darkness\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>On <strong>\u201cWhere Are You\u201d<\/strong> \u2026 YOU the listener can really hear the bass guitar riff and rhythm support. That was missing from the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamic title track simply rules! <strong>\u201cThe Weight of the World\u201d<\/strong> has all the elements in the right place \u2013 the choral elements, the keys, the symphonic strings sounds, the crunchy guitar and the drums are all dialed in to perfection, and this new mix every element more vibrant, more powerful. Perhaps the lyrics here sum up the essence of the entire album\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><em><strong>\u201cHelp me to move forward\/Reaching the other side\/What\u2019s this feeling\/The weight of the world\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In <strong>\u201cSave Me\u201d<\/strong> I\u2019m hearing drum accents and fills that were either absent or buried in the mix on the original. Once again, the bass end of rhythm section fills out the sonic soundscape giving this song more conviction and power. The solo sections shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The improvement in the drum sounds in this mix are noteworthy throughout, but a good example of how a ride cymbal \u201cping\u201d can really enhance (when not buried in the mix) a rhythm can be appreciated on <strong>\u201cWith You Forever.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a doubt, one of the biggest highlights of this release was the cover of Veni Domine\u2019s <strong>\u201cWisdom Calls.\u201d <\/strong>I would easily rank this as one of the top 10 metal songs to emerge from the Christian power metal scene. Markus interpreted it with excellence on this album \u2013 the Yngwie-influenced intro and middle section guitar leads are spectacular, and this new mix finally provides this version the low-end punch bass and drum kick sound that was such an important part of what made <em>Fall Babylon Fall<\/em> such an immersive metal album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bonus track <strong>\u201cEquinox\u201d<\/strong> \u2013 originally a Japan only bonus track \u2013 has been included to round out this already massive collection of progressive metal. This all-instrumental track features a slow bass\/drum rhythm underneath deft guitar and keyboard interplay \u2013 plenty of shred and a nice way to round out the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-1013x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6580\" width=\"840\" height=\"849\" srcset=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-1013x1024.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-148x150.jpg 148w, https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-768x776.jpg 768w, https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021-1024x1035.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7days-Weight-of-the-World-2021.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The cover and tray inlay artwork, including the band logo, has been reworked as well with a more \u201chand-drawn\u201d style. The 16-page booklet is comparable in quality to the Rivel Records (2006) version, but I have to say I miss those cool pictures with each song \u2013 here mostly the lyrics in black and white, but still with some subtle images in the black backgrounds. I also miss the symbolism in the 7days original circle logo which served as a reminder of the circular cycle of the 7day week, but the new logo is cool as well. The disc art has also been reworked (pictured) but the white theme has been retained which nicely complements the black theme of the sister 7days release <em><a href=\"https:\/\/heavensmetalmagazine.com\/index.php\/2021\/06\/17\/7days-into-forever-2021-remix\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Into Forever<\/a><\/em>. The \u201cblack\u201d (red polycarbonate) CD is a nice artistic touch and will please audiophiles and collectors alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Praise to Markus Sigfridsson and Emil Westerdahl for resurrecting this essential collection of songs and breathing such vital new life and power into this progressive metal masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulterium-records.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ulterium Records<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
