Evergrey is a progressive metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden.
The band was founded in 1996 and released its debut album The Dark Discovery in 1998.
Evergrey’s lyrics have always been of the darker sort. While The Dark Discovery dealt with a variety of ideas, later albums have been concept albums, dealing with issues like self-reformation (Recreation Day), paranoia, alien abduction (In Search of Truth), child abuse, and religion (The Inner Circle).
Recreation Day is an album that covers many issues, ranging from death and mourning to general fear and sorrow, all of which contribute to a greater concept of re-creation of oneself. These ideas are explored from many different points of view, such as someone contemplating suicide (“As I Lie Here Bleeding”), mourners after a funeral (“I’m Sorry,” a cover of Dilba Demirbag’s hit) and dying priests looking back on their “unforgivable” sins (molestation) (“Unforgivable”). “Unforgivable” also acted as a catalyst for the next album, (The Inner Circle), which dealt with the same two issues described in the song: religion and child abuse.
All releases so far:
* The Dark Discovery (1998)
* Solitude • Dominance • Tragedy (1999)
* In Search of Truth (2001)
* I’m Sorry (rare single, 2003)
* Recreation Day (2003)
* The Inner Circle (2004)
* A Night To Remember (live CD/DVD, 2005)
* Monday Morning Apocalypse (both single and album, 2006)
* Torn (2008)

"The intro to Soaked is good can't see why you wouldn't like it" Are you joking? It's so ungodly annoying. The song itself isn't terrible...but the intro just makes my ears bleed. Probably the weakest song on the album.

I was surprised to see so many people who don't like Soaked, but I can see how that intro could get annoying. I like it though, it's so memorable and leads into a great track.

EVERGREY are simply one of the greatest, most emotive bands of all time, of any genre. Highlights for me (God, there's so many) include Nosferatu, Broken Wings, Til Dagmar, Closure, Obedience, Mark Of The Triangle, A Touch of Blessing, Words Mean Nothing, I Should, Unspeakable. Soaked, & When The Walls Go Down.

Haha, I hate the intro to Soaked too. Broken Wings is worth hearing that intro though.

evergrey has changed their shape of music, so these comments should be welcome, but this isn't the fact, they want to be catchy etc." good thing you aren't a music journalist, cuz your ass would be canned. You can't say shit about what they want to do. Who the fuck are you? Did they tell you that they wanted to be catchy? Are you in Evergrey? No, they actually said that they were tired as hell, having toured a lot, and that Tom was going through a lot of personal stuff at the time. This all affected their songwriting. The producer also finished the album in a way they weren't totally satisfied with.
