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)

In Search of Truth, Recreation Day and The Inner Circle are their masterpieces i think...if i absolutely had to narrow them down. But Evergrey haven't produced a single album that hasn't been breathtakingly amazing, they are hands down one of the strongest bands around. They've got the same sort of consistent quality that Dark Tranquillity have, always sticking to their guns but keeping things fresh and exciting; never faltering from their own path or trying to water themselves down. Brilliant band, absolutely amazing

The are very unique. Not one of their "similar artists" sounds even half way the same and that's a good thing. I'm not the top-Evergrey-listener but I never skip them when a Song of them starts =).

Metalpesto@: In my opinion, Torn is not the WORST album of the band, but is far from being the best one :D Try ˜Recreation Day"!
