EVERGREY will soon show fans their appreciation in mid-April when they cross the Atlantic to join fellow melodic metallers Iced Earth and Children of Bodom for a full North American tour.

 EVERGREY - Progressive Metal - Dream Theater and Fates Warning sound - "EER-MUSIC.com aka Eclectic Earwig Reviews Music ...
Evergrey’s musicianship is clearly beyond reproach as Rikard Zander (Keyboards), Michael Hakansson (Bass), Jonas Ekdahl (Drums), Tom S. Englund (Vocals/Guitars) and Henrik Danhage (Guitars) are a high-energy group that attacks the music with unyielding passion.
Evergrey's own web site admits that prog metal is "a scene populated by far too many clones," so they try to establish their own original identity within their style of classic prog metal.
Evergrey's songs move through mostly linear verse/chorus/solo section formats, without the more interesting feel of less repetitive and less linear song structures.

 evergrey Mp3 Albums Review
Ok, Evergrey has one more brilliant album left, their 1999 sophomore release, Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy, and of course the cycle is a baseball term for getting all available hits in a game, ie a single, double, triple and a homer, so hopefully this review is a hit.
Evergrey these days are playing a lot simpler in terms of style, (and still heavy!) but with this debut album I can see where their musical greatness started and continued to this day.
Evergrey never ceases to amaze me. Although "In Search of Truth" is widely regarded as their best album, their latest effort, "The Inner Circle", is just as revolutionary and breathtaking as any mainstream album to date.

After Evergrey did the impossible and criss-crossed the Atlantic 2 times to play single shows for their fans, the samples they played of the upcoming material told the fans that this would be Evergrey's finest moment.
It is debatable which is your favorite Evergrey disc and why, but it's hard to argue that Evergrey is about evolution, change with out sacrificing sound, and the ability to produce quality music at a higher level with each release.
The key to Evergrey's sound is a darkness mixed with melodic warmth that few bands either are able to achieve or have not attempted to achieve.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY LARRY "LARRYD" DAGLIERI
If you can try to imagine that Evergrey has incorporated the drums into the music AS a vital part of the makeup of the music, instead of just carrying the beat for the musical instruments, then this is what Evergrey has done.
Evergrey lyrics are dark - and Tom's voice adds both beauty and darkness to the already dark music, making Evergrey's overall sound incredibly complete.
In Evergrey, the drums are an important factor in the overall sound of the band, and the drums are not only superbly placed in the mix, but they have a sound that SOUNDS like a drum kit and someone who is banging heavily on the kit.

 EVERGREY Recreation Day reviews and MP3
Evergrey fancies blending several metal influences together to create their music.
Also, Evergrey are very good at including plenty of beautiful vocal harmonies, orchestrations and choirs which all adds to the overall experience.
Evergrey is among the bands that i like the best in the metal genre, perhaps mostly because they seem to play the music they like to listen to themselves.

 Metal-Rules.com: Interview with Evergrey's Tom S. Englund
Sweden's Evergrey is the exception to this archetype.
Evergrey's last CD, RECREATION DAY, was released in 2003 and they are set to release their fifth album, THE INNER CIRCLE, on April 27th.
I spoke with Englund on April 17th, the day that Evergrey were scheduled to appear on MTV's The Headbanger's Ball, the day before a live, acoustic show at a Cleveland radio station and the day before they were set to kick off their much-hyped tour as openers for Iced Earth and Children of Bodom.

 Review: "Evergrey: A Night to Remember" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!
Evergrey's first live album is an exciting and spirited 2 CD set, recorded in 2004 in the bands hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden.
While Evergrey's style is hard to classify (it's metal no doubt, but with lots of gothic, prog, and power-metal sounds) in a live format they come across as a purely melodic metal machine, capable of rendering plenty of hooks, rhythmic thunder, and instrumental flash.
Evergrey has always been one of those bands that were harder to classify in a musical sense than their peers have been.

 rockmetal.pl: recenzja Evergrey "Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy"
Najnowszy album Szwedów z Evergrey, zatytułowany "Solitude + Dominance + Tragedy", posiada to "coś", co nie pozwala przejść obok niego obojętnie.
Muzykę Evergrey opisuję się jako power progresywną, aczkolwiek wydaje mi się, że jest to zbyt duże uproszczenie i umniejszenie jej wartości estetycznych.
W muzyce tworzonej przez Evergrey odnaleźć można wiele różnorodnych inspiracji i elementów gatunkowych.

 DPRP Reviews - 2004 - 31
The band was recently nominated for a Grammy in their home country; they've just completed a major US tour with Iced Earth and Children of Bodum and now, you will get the chance to see them live when they appear at the mighty Bloodstock Festival.
It is Evergrey's first "pure" instrumental song and features a quiet piano intro followed by narrated vocals and heavenly strings.
Recreation Day, the previous album of Evergrey, was well received and highly ranked, so expectations for this album were very high.

 EVERGREY Solitude + Dominance + Tragedy reviews and MP3
Some of the pieces described on the album may appear even darker and multifunctional for metal purposes that the others, but certainly all of them, follow a unique tendency that makes the CD so rich and didactic that could be appreciated even by the most exigent proggers in general.
Having reviewed all five of their current albums I have no doubt that Evergrey is going to be a force in the progressive metal music field for many years and though their sound is currently unique, it won't be long before other bands pick up on their success and try to emulate these Swedish prodigies.
Evergrey's Solitude.Dominance.Tragedy was a breakthrough release early in the band's discography.

 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on In Search Of Truth - Evergrey at Epinions.com
Evergrey has been endowed with many labels: "gothic metal", "dark melodic metal", "gloomy progressive metal", and many other variations of "darkness" and "depression".
Much like the monikor "morose metal" sounds, Evergrey plays music that is at times melancholy, and yet at others very dark and heavy.
Perhaps, but I have no doubt that Evergrey is helping to lead the way for intelligent metal.

 ToxicUniverse.com - Evergrey - 3/11/2003 - Recreation Day Music Review
While I'd have to classify Evergrey as a progressive outfit, their style of music is a lot heavier than bands such as Dream Theater of Symphony X. If it weren't for their intricately crafted melodies and occasional ability to slow things down they almost wouldn't even fit the progressive label.
Evergrey excels in crafting heavy tunes which carry the listener along on a roller coaster of sound, such as on the opening number "The Great Deceiver." The song rockets along on a blazing guitar run which forms the core melody and is sure to impress listeners who enjoy a little shred with their metal.
Being from Sweden, Evergrey's sound is decidedly European and should appeal to fans of groups such as Blind Guardian, Hammerfall and Stratovarius.

 Gothic Community.de - Testbericht: Evergrey - The Inner Circle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Evergrey hatten ja schon immer den Vorteil, rigoros unschwedisch zu klingen und zudem noch völlig eigenständig zu sein, was im Metalbereich ja leider zu einer extremen Seltenheit verkommen ist.
Sie erzählen seit ihrem Debütalbum aus dem Jahr 1998 von menschlichen und männlichen Schwächen und erarbeiten sich Veröffentlichung für Veröffentlichung mehr und mehr Achtung und Respekt in den dunklen Kreisen der Metalszene, von der sie meiner Meinung nach trotz allem immer noch zu wenig geschätzt werden.
Welch Juwel, das da in konstanter Regelmäßigkeit höchst intelligente, harte Kost unter das Volk wirft und in meinen Augen zu den 10 wichtigsten Metalacts der Neuzeit zu zählen ist.

Evergrey had problemen met hun tourbus, dus arriveerden ze een stuk later dan aangekondigd, maar Tom Englund en Rikard Zander vonden toch nog wat tijd om in de kelders van de Biebob af te dalen om er een interview te doorstaan.
Tom: We zijn meer metal dan prog, maar de progmetal fans lijken ook van Evergrey te houden, dus het is eigenlijk aan de fans om te beslissen wat wij zijn.
Rikard: Er was altijd al de Evergrey visie.

 [Metal-Temple.com] Evergrey - The Inner Circle (Review)
Evergrey are moving forward and deeper in complexity and feelings in every album.
"In The Wake Of The Weary" and "Harmless Wishes" are a testament to Evergrey’s progressive sound heavy and fast but mellow and melodic with a awesome mixture of Tom’s voice along with Carina Englund’s voice (yes the choir-like vocal melodies belong to Tom’s wife).
Constantly evolving, avoiding repetitions and recipes of style forming, they managed to make this latest album stand out of their previous ones in a non comparable way (I mean to get the full picture just grab their previous four ones and you will know).

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - EVERGREY - In Search Of Truth
Tom Englund's characteristic and expressive voice alone would already be enough to lift this band up from the myriads of other bands, but the music itself has grown even more original and unique than already on"Solitude*Dominance*Tragedy".
Seamlessly it turns into "The Encounter", which just like "Mark Of The Triangle" is a good bit more powerful and heavier, but never neglecting the atmosphere and intricate arrangements, quite the contrary, softer, more emotional parts always are entwined to keep up the tension within the songs.
And the comparison with "Operation: Mindcrime", the legendary mother of all concept-albums by QUEENSRYCHE, as one colleague of mine had mentioned, sometimes is not as forced as it might seem, due to the concept and the exceptional musical execution...
