Sweden's pioneering masters of darkness, Evergrey, have served a new single and video, "Cold Dreams", featuring Jonas Renkse. The band's latest full-length, Theories Of Emptiness, will come out this Friday (7 June) through Napalm Records.
This sonic majesty cut from the new album showcases an out-of-this-world vocal performance by band leader and vocalist Tom Englund, alongside a guest appearance by Jonas Renkse (Katatonia) and Englund's daughter, Salina - contributing lush backing vocals that enhance the song's dynamics and highlighting another intense facet of the album.
Tom Englund on "Cold Dreams": "'Cold Dreams' is probably the darkest piece of music on Theories Of Emptiness. Its sombre power is quite overwhelming. It's a composition that honestly leaves me feeling a bit uneasy. To have Jonas Renkse of Katatonia singing words describing fates that we both encountered makes it even more special and intriguing. Jonas' unique voice of sadness spreads like a disease and to hear him growl, again, is just fucking great! To balance the darkness, we decided to bring in some angelic qualities, and at the time of composing, I couldn't imagine anything more suiting than my daughter Salina Englund's voice. We cannot wait to hear what you feel after these 6 minutes and 46 seconds of soul searching. Enjoy!"
