      Yes. IMO, their older stuff has a little bit of a rough sound. I don't mean it's not produced well. I mean the music has just a hint more of edge to it.
      Their best two albums IMO, are "The Inner Circle" and "In Search of Truth". Both are concept albums, so you should check them out in their entirety.

    Evergrey is one of my all-time favourite bands. First time I've listened Evergrey in 1999 and I've seen them live about 15 or 16 times since 2007 in my home country Romania and also in Hungary , Slovakia and some other european countries. They are truly awesome ! They never dissapointed me . And if you want to listen to another great band , try MERCENARY, from Denmark and listen these songs : Firesoul , My World is Ending , Isolation (which by the way has an amazing guitar solo). Greetings from Romania !

Take a shot of it, you can för example find it on their live DVD: A Night To Remember.

    Oh man...I just love Evergrey. They are sadly underrated imho. First song I heard - Nosferatu - blew my mind and they've been one of my absolute favourite bands ever since. I think I actually worn out their following concept album "in search of truth" LOL...
    Great songs and Toms voice is just fantastic. Always great solos - and in these days when bands seem to think skipping solos is cool and innovative (hint - NO it's not and it's not a new genre because you cut out the peak) you can always count on Evergrey to deliver goosebumpingly (yes that's a word. I just used it. See?) good guitarsolos.

    Had to see this early because I'm not sure if I could make it to the premiere. Found Evergrey through CZcams recommendation algorithm (the song "In Orbit" which features Floor Jansen). I was hooked instantly. Tom Englund is a phenomenal vocalist, easily my Top 2 (shout out Chase Carneson) for this genre along with Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis. Can't wait to see more of this band here. If you're eager to check out something out outside the channel, I recommend "The Paradox Of The Flame". Absolutely stunning video that does not have any gear in it. Another suggestion would be "Disconnect" that also features Floor, because there is no music video for it.

    I live in Gothenburg and I went to Metaltown in Gothenburg back in 2009 and saw them. They had the first time (opener) at the first day of the festival. They were hillarious (great sense of humor) and did really connect and interact with the crowd. You should definately check out more of them! Both old and new. My thoughts on upcoming reactions:
    A Touch of Blessing
    I'm Sorry
    The Paradox of the flame (featuring Tom's wife Carina who also is a musician)
    King of Errors
    In Orbit (feat Floor Jansen)
    Recreation Day (the whole Recreation Day album is amazing to be honest)

    I havent really listened to Evergrey for the past several years. 10-15 years ago, they agreed to play at a small show in our little village, together with other cool bands like Draconian and Carnal forge. Not many bands would come up here for next to no pay so I will always like them just because of that.
    I don´t know much about their new music, though it sounds good. But I would recommend that you check out some older stuff aswell, some real gems there.

    Excellent reaction and gear knowledge as usual, Tank! Pretty awesome to hear some Evergrey for the first time in ages. I first listened to them after seeing them at the Gates Of Metal festival here in Sweden, maybe around 2008 or so. After getting into a lot more of death/black metal etc, i sort of forgot about them for a bit, but good to know they're still going strong.

    What a blast from the past! I haven't really listened to Evergrey for probably close to 10 years but they used to be a favourite. Got to recommend both the Recreation Day and Inner Circle albums. Amazing concept albums with interesting themes.

    After the reaction to the "Save Us" video, Im delighted to see this on here aswell. This was a brilliant song full of hope, determination, and power. Driven yet again by heavy hooks and a soaring chorus. Then, a back to back double attack of two terrific solos full of technical prowess and passion. Evergrey are a brilliant band. Their latter albums are monolithic melodic, mournful and majestic masters with brooding shades of dark atmosphere. But, venturing back to their early albums, and you get a different set of things. Gothic metal, with shades of Metallica riffage in there. Something for everybody.

    I've said this before once, but Evergrey is a very special band for me, they got me through some serious stuff. Thank you for finally checking them out Tank! Please check out more soon, they are criminally underrated.
    I've seen them live for every album tour they've done since "Hymns for the Broken" (3 times so far), at least in North America. Almost caught their "Glorious Collision" tour in Toronto too, but I found out about it THE DAY AFTER it happened. I was pissed. I've been a huge fan ever since I first heard the albums from their first 'golden age': "In Search of Truth", "Recreation Day" and "The Inner Circle".
    Of all of the guys who have been in the band, the only ones I've met are the ones who are in it now, but they are the main core of guys who were responsible for my favourite of their stuff. They are all super awesome and really approachable. They definitely appreciate their fans. They are great live too, and they did a free concert on twitch this past June that was amazing. For my money, they have never released a bad album, and I listen to them all often. Tom is an incredible singer, not to mention guitarist. Henrik is very gifted too, he and Tom swap for solos all the time, and they play with so much feeling. Rikard adds those beautiful keys and to the atmosphere of the music, and is very under appreciated, but super talented. He's also the nicest guy. Johan shines on base, especially on their last album, and Jonas is great on drums, not to mention writing a fair bit of their music too.
    My recommendations for more of their stuff would be basically anything from their last album "The Atlantic". It's almost impossible to pick a favourite track from it, but "All I Have" has a great video you can check out on here. "A Silent Arc" is great too, but the video is basically non-existent, "Weightless" is a great one too.
    Going back further, maybe do "Distance" from "The Storm Within", also a great video. Or "Disconnect" from the same album if you want something really progressive. That one also has backing vocals from the amazing Floor Jansen, who is a personal friend of the band, though no video. Most people react to "In Orbit" from that album because Floor is in it, but I think that's not the strongest song on that album (though it certainly isn't bad per se). The title track "The Storm Within" is stunningly beautiful to listen to as well.
    "King of Errors" is great from "Hymns for the Broken", especially the almost military drum line, but I'd personally recommend "The Black Undertow", "The Fire" or "The Grand Collapse" over it.
    If you want to go all the way back to the first golden age of their stuff, you can't go wrong with "A Touch of Blessing", "Recreation Day" or "The Master Plan".
    I love this band and could easily go on to give more suggestions, this only scratches the surface, but I think this is already a bit much for a youtube comment. lol
    Tom checks these comment areas out all the time too, if he checks this one out, thanks from Canada for all your amazing work! Going to check out that Silent Skies album next.

    Where have you been indeed 😄 Evergrey is one of the few bands from this genre I really like. Tom S. Englund is a great singer and they have a bit heavier approach than typically in this kind of....stuff

    First time hearing this too. Checking in from Bonney Lake, Washington (about 30 miles south of Seattle). It is cold, gray, wet, and a Monday. Hear me out, Evergrey Mondays. Just a thought.

    One thing that's really impressing me about the European metal scene is the number of vocalists that are putting in lead guitar work.

  • @FagnerCS
    @FagnerCS Před 3 lety +3

    You should listen to the older albums, too. I recommend the DVD "I night to remember". It´s full of some of the best songs on their older discography

  • @johnwhitehill6901
    @johnwhitehill6901 Před 3 lety +3

    Fun Fact: For a few years Thomas and Caparison were'nt getting along after they found out he was selling most of his guitars online for a profit having been owned and used by him. This is why some videos have him playing a jackson and such. Also, he recently showed on his youtube channel that he was just getting into using a wah after all these years, so I chuckled when you pointed out the wah placement.
    If you want to find the other side of Evergrey, then definitely do a reaction to "I'm Sorry", it is a classic and gets all the ladies.
    Oh, and holy shit, when I saw Henrick tear up that charvel strat live a few years ago, I was floored by the emotion he funneled through that strat.

    Evergrey gets into your soul. Their music and lyrics become part of you. I have made major life decisions based on some of their lyrics. You missed an experience last year. They live streamed the best concert I've ever heard in my life. Loving Floor as you do, you'll get a lot of recommendations to listen to In Orbit. I suggest Disconnect. They use Floor's voice as an instrument and it's beyond words. It's also in the same vein as this song. Thanks for the great reaction, as always. I'm sure Evergrey4Life will be here soon :)

    • @sauliruottu5871
      @sauliruottu5871 Před 3 lety +2

      Evergrey also has played a part in the path to my lifes greatest decision. Song Faith Restored from Inner Circle in particular. Actually wrote to Tom about it some time after, though I think his intention with the message of the album was probably the opposite, lol.

    @Rab1dllama Před 3 lety +3

    Welcome to the Evergrey club! I discovered them through my manager at work about 10 years ago and they immediately became a favorite band. Glad you liked it. Originally they said this album was coming out at the end of March, so cool to see they bumped it up a month.

  • @EduardoMartinez-hm3jq
    @EduardoMartinez-hm3jq Před 3 lety +5

    Man! Love your reactions, its always great to find more people discovering and listening all these great bands. And thank god it's never too late to be welcome into "The Inner Circle" of Evergrey.
    Maybe you can hear almost any song from any era and love em. But anyway if I had to recommend something it should be:
    1. Distance (fking heavy sound)
    2. Masterplan (Masterpiece...duh)
    3. Touch of blessing. (the best "do you know this band?" song" )
    Have fun!
    Keep it going man! Keep it metal! \m/,
