Evergrey, Gothenburg's finest export of darkness, has unveiled its second single and video, "Say", a heartfelt track that seamlessly blends raw heaviness with enchanting keyboards and unexpected instrumental parts and offers an unparalleled melodic progressive metal experience along with the outstanding vocal offering of band mastermind Tom S. Englund.
"Say" is taken from Evergrey's forthcoming 14th album, Theories Of Emptiness, set for release on 7 June via Napalm Records. With this upcoming musical genius, Evergrey impressively proves itself once more as a force to be reckoned with and shows a seemingly endless flow of top-notch creativity that sees no bounds.
Evergrey on "Say": "'Say' is one of those songs that immediately when we wrote the chorus we knew that it would be an awesome single. It will simply kill live and is a very worthy follow-up to the success of 'Falling From The Sun'. Regarding the end of the video there will of course be questions, a lot of questions, we have the answers".
Tom Englund adds: "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... Much love, Tom"
Theories Of Emptiness was produced by Tom S. Englund and Jonas Ekdahl and 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, Thomas "Plec" Johansson (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra, Onslaught, The Gems, Eleine, and many more) did the mastering. Link
