Everon announce new album ‘Shells’
EVERON have announced a new album!
Titled Shells, the upcoming album from the German progressive rock band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2008’s North, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Label Group.
“EVERON didn’t retire or anything, and we never even talked about it,” vocalist Oliver Philipps says. “I always wrote all the music and the lyrics. So that would mean if I didn’t do anything, we wouldn’t do anything. After North, it just didn’t happen. The making of North dragged out terribly, by the time we did it, I’d almost lost interest. I just needed a change.”
Although a new EVERON album is something to be celebrated, the road to Shells has sadly been tainted by tragedy; during the recording, drummer Moschus died suddenly. “It was completely out of the blue,” Philipps says. “He wasn’t sick or anything. He was just found dead. It was a cardiac arrest or one of these things. The reason I chose to finish the album at all was that he’d already recorded drums for eight of the songs. If it had happened half a year earlier, I wouldn’t have chosen to make an album. I’d been pondering over should I, shouldn’t I for quite some time.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; No Embrace. Speaking about the new song, Philipps says, “I think No Embrace makes a good opening track because it is straight forward and accessible, it has a more positive energy than some of the other songs that are darker in tone or mood.”
