EVERGREY celebrates 30 years of metal mastery!

Swedish metal veterans EVERGREY reset their #1 Spotify track “Call Out The Dark” (over 1 million streams on Spotify) in an emotional piano vocal version, recorded at Evergrey HQ! The new single is cut from the band’s upcoming anniversary album, From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits, a celebration of 30 years of Gothenburg’s finest export of darkness, set for release this Friday, December 15, 2023!

The original version of “Call Out The Dark” was released on EVERGREY’s highly acclaimed 2022 opus, A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), which entered charts worldwide at #3 in Sweden (Metal), #7 in Finland, #12 in Germany and ranked #5 on the Top New Artist Albums charts in the United States. The new, beautifully stripped-down version of the song comes with a fitting official video.

Jonas Ekdahl states:
”I love how Tom and Rikard manage to take these songs and transform them into something unique and different than its original form and sound. If you manage to remove all the production elements within a song and strip everything down to its essence, and still feel that it holds up and sounds good – you know it’s a good song! That’s exactly what they have done with these Piano/Vocal versions in my opinion. This version of ’Call Out The Dark’ delivers slightly darker vibe and the lyrics stand out and reach you even more than on the original version.”

From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits will be available in various formats – for example, an extremely limited 2LP Gold Vinyl edition.Itunites EVERGREY’s past and present and paves the way for their next chapter – and an even brighter future to come. Here’s to another 30!
