I discovered these guys relatvely recently when I first heard King Of Errors off of the Hymns for the Broken album. I love that album and quickly purchased Storm Within and The Atlantic as well as some of their earier albums. What I love about Evergrey is that Tom Englund is able to write emotionally powerful songs with massive dynamics and powerful hooks that really grab the listener. You get bone crunching drop tuned riffing, melodic power ballads, and some excellent musicianship and singing all in one package. Englund and Danhage are both incredibly capable guitarists and deliver epic solos, while Zander, Niemann and Ekdahl show their talent as well by creating a massive soundscape that gives the songs and epic feel. Anyway I have been looking forward to the release of Escape of the Phoenix and it does not disappoint. The production, songwriting, singing and musicianship are all great and you can hear how the band continues to evolve. It simply rocks.
