EVERGREY celebrates 30 years of metal mastery!
EVERGREY, Gothenburg’s finest export of darkness, celebrates 30 years of metal mastery with a very special treat to be released via Napalm Records: their anniversary album, entitled ‘From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits’, will see the light of day on December 15, 2023.
From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits will be available in various formats – for example, an extremely limited 112 page hardcover book and 1CD digisleeve bundle (incl. rare photos and imagery, behind the scenes stories and exclusive liner notes from the members). It wraps up three decades of EVERGREY’s journey, carries some very special treats along with it, and cements their position as one of the most genre-defining bands of our time. ‘From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits’ unites EVERGREY’s past and present and paves the way for their next chapter – and an even brighter future to come!
EVERGREY states:
“Make sure you get a hold off the limited edition book as we have worked intensely for months to gather all the photos and write all the stories for each of the albums, it’s an insanely cool product to have and to remember all of these years together with us! Here’s to another 30!”
In addition to live versions of recent tracks like “Call Out The Dark” and “Where August Mourns”, the record travels down memory lane with “My Allied Ocean”, “A Touch Of Blessing”, “Recreation Day” and “King Of Errors”. The second half of the offering contains soulful piano vocal versions of four songs from the latest full-length (“Save Us”, “Call Out The Dark”, “Blindfolded” and “Midwinter Calls”), and demo versions of the same tracks, topped by a instrumental version of “A Silent Arc”.

Since their very first record, 1998’s ‘The Dark Discovery’, the Swedish entity around founder, singer and guitarist Tom S. Englund – one of the most distinctive vocals in metal – has enthralled fans and critics alike with their matchless skill in merging progressive heaviness with intense melodic metal topped by gripping lyrics that run shivers down one’s spine. To date, the band has gathered numerous worldwide chart positions with thirteen studio albums in total, and in 2022, the five-piece proved again – even after 30 years of existence – that their creativity sees no bounds with the release of the flawless ‘A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)’.
