Evergrey
23 Oct 2001
To promote their first-ever North American release 'In Search Of Truth', through InsideOut Music America, Sweden's Evergrey will be making a special trip to the US to headline the ProgPower 2.0 Festival! The event will occur on November 9th & 10th at Earthlink Live in Atlanta, GA and will also feature special appearances by Kamelot, Angel Dust, Nightingale, ARK, and fellow InsideOut Music artists Vanden Plas & Symphony X. ProgPower 2.0 is unique in that it presents a live outlet for a group of bands that do not normally have the opportunity to perform in America! Extremely popular in their native Sweden and throughout Europe, Evergrey have now set their sights on our shore by delivering their darkest and most powerful CD to date. Master musicians all, Evergrey combine an enormous and potent sound with pure emotional torment. Dark, gloomy passages dissolve and give way to glorious rapture and vice-versa. Driven by the extremely emotive voice of band leader Tom S. Englund, Evergrey weave a musical and lyrical shroud that perfectly envelops the dark side of the human soul. 'In Search Of Truth', Evergrey's third album (but first domestic release), was produced by King Diamond guitar wizard Andy LaRocque, who also lends uncredited talents with a slide guitar passage on the track "Different Worlds"! To further promote the album, the band has recently shot a full production
video for the first single, "The Master Plan," which visually
accentuates the bleak, yet soulful essence of the album. Evergrey's previous US appearances
included spotlight positions at the first ProgPower Festival (in Chicago) and Baltimore's fourth Powermad Festival.
