EVERGREY | premiere
Gothenburg’s finest export of darkness, EVERGREY, enter a thrilling new chapter in the band’s history with their thirteenth studio album and Napalm Records debut, A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)
The pounding album opener reflects everything the new full-length stands for, kicking in immediately with stunning guitar work and unveils a chorus sure to top the annals of EVERGREY history. Listen carefully and you will hear the voices of hundreds of fans who were invited by EVERGREY to send recordings of their voices to later provide group vocals for the track – making their everlasting mark on EVERGREY history.
For the astonishing music video, the five-piece teamed up with long-time companion Patric Ullaeus to create a bewitching visual experience that exemplifies EVERGREY.
Tom S. Englund (vocals, guitar) on ‘Save Us’:
“’Save Us’ is about us. It’s about you and I. It’s about how I see our minds becoming hostages in a world where painting optimal portraits of ourselves is more important than being who we really are.
It’s about my observation of watching people around me who are feeling that they’re not good enough for the world, or for themselves. I’m afraid we’re lost, and I think we need to help each other to find our way back to what is important, to rediscover a true sense of self.
As we, as artists, also contribute to content and social media as a livelihood, it’s about the paradox of being caught in a world which is hard to free yourself from. I can only wish that our music brings some balance to that equation.
