Gothenburg's finest export of darkness, Evergrey, celebrates 30 years of metal mastery with a very special treat to be released via Napalm Records: its anniversary album, From Dark Discoveries To Heartless Portraits, will see the light of day on 15 December.
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 its 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 its 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 an instrumental version of "A Silent Arc".
