The musicians of Evergrey have had a tumultuous and hard-fought career, and even though the band has had many talented members, the current lineup is being rightfully regarded as their best. Following the triumphant combined returns of Henrik Danhage and Jonas Ekdahl in 2014, the album Hymns for the Broken set the new standard for the band. 2016 sees their new offering come to life through AFM Records, bearing the title The Storm Within. So?

So, circle the calendar. The dark poets of progressive power metal have struck gold again.

hadriel Posts: 257 From: Canada	17.09.2016 - 20:34 Rating: 5 hadriel Posts: 257 From: Canada Got pretty excited after seeing the high ratings here. It's not a bad album, but can't help but feel like this band is just safely chugging out the sameish sounding generic prog metal we're used to hearing. There's so much talent here, that I wish they'd experiment outside their comfort zone a bit more. Loading...
Joe Zombie Posts: 540 From: USA	26.09.2016 - 06:20 Joe Zombie Posts: 540 From: USA The more I listen to this the more I like it. "Someday" is probably my least favorite track, but the rest of the album is great. After a couple subpar albums (pre-Hymns) I think Evergrey is back on their game! Loading...
