Another band that keeps the quality very high is Evergrey, and I’m pleased to announce that album number fourteen is no different than the rest, with the perfect blend of melody and crunch. There has to be something in the water in Sweden as everything they do musically, no matter what genre, they nail it every time.
The production on this album is epic and the mix from Periphery’s Nolly is top drawer. I am honestly in awe of this record as it moves me in every way possible. Musically, it’s just amazing and lyrically, it is so moving, and the melody and harmonies just epic. To Become Someone Else has to be one of the best songs I have heard in ages, such a stirring song. Tom S England’s vocal delivery is just perfect and his style is full of emotion and feel. Say follows right after, and again leaves the listener in awe. The vocal and melody are nearly in AOR territory but that heavy low end chunk just take it to places a new. Marvellous stuff!
The whole album is just a wonder of modern Prog metal music and deserves to be in everyone’s collection. This could be my album of the year! Do your brain and emotions a favour and BUY THIS ALBUM!
10/10 from The Grooveman.
