To my classically-trained composer ears, it sounds like 7empest exists purely as an exploration of rhythmic structures. We have the 21/16 time signature (or 21/8, it doesn't really matter), which has beat groupings such that it can be thought of as 4/4 with pentuplet subdivisions (yes, oversimplification...). The band is exploring all the possibilities of this time signature, and in rondo form, to boot.

...and with great success. That riff five minutes out from the end? Fuck yes.
