April 11, 2024 James Weaver

EVERGREY have announced a new album!

Titled Theories Of Emptiness, the upcoming album from the Swedish progressive metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Napalm Records.

The upcoming album was produced by vocalist/guitarist Tom S. Englund and drummer Jonas Ekdahl, and was mixed by Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood [ex-PERIPHERY], who worked closely with the band from the start – bringing out the vividness of the album’s overall sonic profile. Rounding out the album’s production, mastering was helmed by Thomas ‘Plec’ Johansson [SOILWORK, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA, ONSLAUGHT, THE GEMS, ELEINE etc].

Speaking about the upcoming new album, Englund says, “our new album is soon to be yours! We can’t wait for that to happen, there are so many new and refreshing elements on it as well as respect paid to every part of our past. We have just refined what we always have done and tried to make it as contemporary as we possibly could to please ourselves and our sonic expectations. With the presence of Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood, we felt fired up, hungry and eager to do our utmost to ensure that we would write the best songs we possibly could – I really feel we have achieved that. Sound quality wise we feel that it is on par with the best the world has to offer today. It is a brave statement that I will stand behind for the rest of my life. Taking EVERGREY into a new cycle feels just as when I did it the first time. We are more motivated than ever, and with a lot of touring to be announced very soon, we cannot wait to come and play this new music for you.

Finally, we need to mention that we couldn’t be prouder to announce our guest vocalist for this album. Jonas Renkse has graced KATATONIA’s music with his unique atmosphere for decades. Now we in the band and the fans of EVERGREY get to experience the same and we couldn’t be more excited! You might even get to hear Jonas growl for maybe the first time in many years…”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, EVERGREY have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Falling From The Sun. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band shares, “Falling From The Sun is an explosive song that represents everything we are about, not only for this album, but also brings the energy that you would expect from a great new EVERGREY song. It has the riff, it has the pounding drums, the bombast, and an unforgettable hook that we are very proud to have written. Now we just want you to be devoured by the splendour of the full album as soon as possible, but let’s start with Falling From The Sun; we believe it will last you a lifetime and easily hold you over until it is time for the next single and video. We spent what feels like a Hollywood budget on the pyrotechnics used in this video as we felt that represented everything we felt the most – having those fireworks rain down on us made us feel like real rockstars for a while and the song itself feels like a rockstar on its own! We can’t wait to see what you think and feel when you see this!”
