Xerath, young band from the UK, imagine Meshuggah combined with filmscore (but a fair bit gr00vier). They released their first album in 2009 and the second within a fortnight ago. They play sevens in standard.

Listen to Meshuggah, they play with 7 sometimes 8 strings... super good.
Listen to Animals as Leaders. They are crazy amazing!!!!!!!!
Listen to Upon a Burning Body. They are from texas, so you know it is good.

I think the last album of Katatonia, called Night Is The New Day, has been recorded on 7-string. If you guys hasn't listen to it yet, you really should, that's really, really good.

Pretty sure Katatonia is all 6 string. Have seen live clips of the band playing stuff off Night is the New Day, and it's all 6 strings.
Some songs are in drop Bb (Forsaker being an obvious example, that opening heavy riff).
7 string or not, absolutely incredible album, my favorite of 2009.
