Has anyone heard of the band Evergrey from Sweden?

I recently sold my Peavey Classic 50/50 power amp to a guy tone chasing this band's amps earlier albums from 1998. I guess they used a Mesa Triaxis into the Peavey 50/50 El84 power amps. So I checked them out and thought the tunes were pretty cool and kinda reminded me of Nevermore but a bit more prog metal like Dream Theater......

Been one of my favorite bands for years, got a chance to see them in a small club in Baltimore back in 2019 I believe and they were amazing live, shame there weren't more people there to support, probably less then 100 people there would be my guess. Got to meet them all after the show, very cool experience.

Yep, been one of my favorite bands since my childhood in the 90s

one of the best vocalists in metal

never got into em but isn't henrik danhage in evergrey?

he's got probably my favorite charvel signature model

 

[Shreddy Mercury]

Been a fan of Evergrey for a while now. I had a 50/50 and still have a 60/60, but I never had a TriAxis. Also, I can't play like them lol

Saw them live forever ago; was quite enjoyable

I had not heard of them but the singer is way better than Dream Theaters singer and the tunes are good. Funny how certain bands go unnoticed when they are outside of you usual circle of music......

It's odd because for me that's like someone saying "Wow have you heard of Whitesnake!? They're this band, they're really good!"

But that's because Evergrey is my circle of music, and Whitesnake is not

Either way, glad to have you on board, evergrey has some stone cold JAMS

Recreation Day, Different Worlds (best ballad/soft song in metal) the Great Deciever, Blackened Dawn, Misled, More than ever

they are one of the best power/prog bands still going from the heyday in the 90s

Henrik has new signature DiMarzios coming out. I'm not sure when, though.

Another thumbs up here for Evergrey. Glad you love them and are spreading the word!!
I always get them mixed up with Elvenking, not because the music is the same, just the name having Ev in there I guess...but check out Elvenking too, more folk metal but catchy.

 

[Wayniac3]

Yep- great guys & super talented.

 

[the rossness]

Yes

 

[napalmdeath]

I've been into them for about 10 years. I know they were, (atleast Tom was), big 5150/6505 users for quite awhile until they both went Bogner. I think at one time Henrik used Randall MTS gear years ago as well.

 

[grimmchaos]

Killer killer band. One of my favorites.

 

[TheGreatGreen]

Awesome band.

Killer guitar tones, too.

Too happy go lucky sounding for my liking.

If you like Tom's vocals, you should check out Redemption. Simone is a sick guitar player too, (From DGM).



Simone in DGM:

Redemption is cool. I saw them and Evergrey at Progpower USA festival some years ago.
