Gothenburg, Sweden (1996 – present)

Evergrey is a melodic 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)
* Glorious Collision (2011)

    I wish they'd make more stuff like In Search Of Truth, but looking at the top tracks I guess I'm in a minority.

    Good band, if a bit too cheesy and melodic for my taste.

    In listening to Torn more I agree Metalspic, I think it was the heavy rhythm guitars and thick bass tone that made me think otherwise. They sound really damn heavy, which I love. Also, how was Glorious Collision? The tracks I heard off of it seemed about Torn quality. I really like Damnation, am considering getting the album with that next for these guys.

    In case you think this band's latest album qualifies as one of the best releases of 2011, then please tag their latest album (on the last.fm album page) as "best metal and hard rock albums of 2011” and help us create best of charts according to metal and hard rock fans on last.fm. Thank you. For more info: http://www.last.fm/group/TAG%3A+%22best+metal+and+hard+rock+albums+of+%5Binsert+year%5D%22

    Sanity_Theorist: It's probably because they're darker than most power/progressive bands out there that you consider them to be industrial. Maybe there's some very small industrial influence, but Evergrey remains a mostly power/progressive metal band.
