According to a press release, for their 7th album, the band has composed an album that's not just symphonic, it's practically a symphony. This time, the instrumental tracks are pure instrumentals with long, progressive passages. At the same time, 7th Symphony contains songs that rock harder than anything they've done since 2001 when they released the epic, transfixing album Cult, their first album to contain mostly originals. In the same way that Cult caused fans to view Apocalyptica from a different perspective, 7th Symphony is the next forward step in the group's creative evolution. Most of the songs on the disc were produced by Joe Barresi (QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TOOL) and two of the four vocal numbers were produced by Howard Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, PAPA ROACH).
