SEVENTH WONDER rose from the ashes of the band MANKIND when guitarist Johan Liefvendahl, drummer Johnny Sandin and bassist Andreas Blomqvist decided to leave the band.With no name and no original material of their own,they decided to form a band of their own.After jamming together,writing and rehearsing they realized their music had shifted towards a heavier and more progressive style.

A search for a keyboard player began and in 2000 they found keyboardist Andreas Söderin,who added a new dimension to their sound.Calling themselves SEVENTH WONDER,they made a serious effort to record and bring their music to a larger audience.
