Evergrey release new song ‘Forever Outsider’

EVERGREY have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Forever Outsider, is taken from the Swedish progressive power metal band’s upcoming new album, Escape Of The Phoenix, which is scheduled to be released in February next year, via AFM Records.

The upcoming album was written and recorded during the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic. Escape Of The Phoenix came to life according to plans that had been laid out in 2019. Drummer Jonas Ekdahl began composing the songs in January, creating a foundation for the album before the band gathered together and arranged the songs as a group. Unlike a typical creative process, which is often interrupted by appointments, travelling and one-off shows, lockdown requirements gave the band much needed time to work unhindered.
