Evergrey Theories of Emptiness (Vinyl) 12" Album (Gatefold Cover)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Theories of EmptinessCondition: NewFormat: VinylDescription: After more than 30 years of existence, Gothenburg's finest metal masters EVERGREY are far away from slowing things down. The five-piece, led by founder, singer and guitarist Tom S. Englund, will release its fourteenth studio album, Theories Of Emptiness, on June 7, 2024 via Napalm Records. Without any doubt, the new album marks one of the most dynamic records the band has ever crafted throughout their impressive career. Theories Of Emptiness was produced by Tom S. Englund and Jonas Ekdahl, and was mixed by Adam "Nolly" Getgood (ex-Periphery), who worked closely with the band from the start - bringing out the vividness of the album's overall sonic profile. Rounding out the album's production, mastering was helmed by Thomas "Plec" Johansson (Soilwork, The Night Flight Orchestra, Onslaught, The Gems, Eleine and many more). Since releasing their first album, The Dark Discovery, in 1998, EVERGREY have gifted their devotees 13 studio records depicting dark, emotional imagery supported by progressive and heavy melodic metal elements. Theories of Emptiness follows its chart-topping and critically acclaimed predecessor, 2022's A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), which entered charts worldwide at #3 in Sweden (Metal), ranked #5 on the Top New Artist Albums charts in the United States, entered #7 in Finland and #12 in Germany. "For us, progression is paramount", states Tom S. Englund when discussing the eleven track opus, Theories of Emptiness. "We're dedicated to ensuring that our music remains innovative and avoids stagnation. With each album, we strive to introduce something new - a unique flavor, a different key or chord, fresh voices in our writing, or innovative production techniques." In fact, no stone has been left unturned. Tracks are created to balance each-other mutually: from the aggressive tones of "Misfortune" contrasting the light-hearted opening of "To Become Someone Else", to the ballad "Ghost of My Hero" leading into the furious riffs of "We Are The North". Album opener "Falling From The Sun" (sequel to A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) track "Ominous") and "Say" interweave heaviness with mesmerizing keyboards and unpredictable instrumental parts, as also heard on "The Night Within". On "Cold Dreams", Englund's distinctive voice is accompanied by Jonas Renkse of fellow Swedish metal icons Katatonia, splicing the song with a stellar performance that underlines another intense facet of the album. In addition, Englund's daughter Salina provides lush backing vocals that enhance the song's dynamics even more. Ending on a quiet note, Theories of Emptiness depicts exactly what emptiness is about, first with the immersive "Our Way Through Silence", and then with "A Theory Of Emptiness" which, with timid piano, makes us rationalize our innermost feelings. Navigating realms of darkness and light, Theories of Emptiness takes listeners on a carefully balanced roller coaster ride - showcasing EVERGREY's ever-evolving sound in 2024Genre: MetalArtist: EvergreyNo Of Discs: 1Country/Region of Manufacture: GermanyRecord Label: Napalm Records Handels GmbHEAN: 0810155660345Edition: 12" Album (Gatefold Cover)Release Date: 06/07/2024Style: ProgMPN: NPR1282VINYLRelease Year: 2024Tracks: 1: Falling from the Sun2: Misfortune3: To Become Someone Else4: Say5: Ghost of My Hero6: We Are the North7: The Night Within8: Cold Dreams9: Our Way Through Silence10: A Theory of Emptiness Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
