The guys that formed Evergrey started out in the 80's by
playing in one of many death metal bands in the south of Sweden. While bands
like In Flames and At The Gates continued down the death metal parth in
different ways, Evergrey wanted to transform the energy of death metal into a
new form of metal where clean vocals and prog influences play important roles.
Now their third album is finished and the result is very impressive. The
vocals from Tom Englund is better than ever, probably a lot thanks to his wife
Carina Kjellberg who has helped him start singing. He actually sounds a little
like David Coverdale of Whitesnake although Evergrey is a lot more metal
sounding. Once again Andy La Roque and his Los Angered Recording studio was
used for the production which could not possibly have been any better than
this. The only thing I don't find perfect about this new release from
Evergrey is that almost every single song is built the same way with a thick
keyboard background, the powerful vocals from Tom, and a drum machine pattern.
The songs themselves are often amazingly beautiful but in the end it gets a
little too much.
