Evergrey, one of the classic bands of the 90s metal scene in Gothenburg, released their new single OXYGEN!. The song showcases the band’s core strengths – crushing riffs and a dark, brooding atmosphere. The lyrics of the OXYGEN! single talk about depression, inner struggle and the price of survival. The song is released with an animated music video.
“OXYGEN! is full of crushing riffs, interesting key changes and soulful melodies. Lyrically, it reflects the oppressive weight of inner darkness, but at the same time the eternal fight for freedom and the breath of hope. This song is written in blood – and we can’t wait for our listeners to experience it. You’ve never heard Evergrey like this before,” the band commented.
Evergrey has revamped both the line-up and the production team – the new single features the band’s new drummer Simen Sandnes, and in addition to Tom Englund, the production team also includes keyboardist-producer Vikram Shankar (Within Temptation, Silent Skies). The mixing was done by Adan “Nolly” Getgood (Periphery, Sleep Token, Architects). The fresh and modern result is both dark and hopeful.
Evergrey is now preparing for a 32-date European tour on the road to Katatonia. The Italian-American Klogr will also be on the tour caravan.
