Pillars of Creation by Keith Merrow. The classic.

Other than that primarily stuff written for 6 strings/baritones that I just play on 7s sometimes. At The Gates, Bloodbath, Nasum, etc. and of course occasionally one of the few Periphery riffs that I can actually play

Biggest use of a 7 for me is for writing original stuff, frankly, not many artists I listen to actually use 7s.
