Oh... wow those are some massive changes and I really like Evergrey... I have to say this is a bit sad... anyway, best of luck to everyone.

But Torn was a huge dissapointment to me

Same here. The feeling, passion and great compositions were all gone.

So there have been some, not only disagreements, but quarrels as well? Why else would three guys leave the band? Being a musician in a band surely isn't fun all the time, so it as a confirmed reason seems a bit odd. Also this makes Englund look a bit like Tolkki when he fired Lassila and Ikonen.

Hopefully, if the upcoming album is as empty as Torn, the new members will bring something special to the next album.

Johan Niemann (ex-Therion, Mind’s Eye) on Bass

This guy and his brother were great in Therion.

A band breaking up is sometimes like a divorce. It is very, very bad. But there is nothing you can do about it

Strato breakup was like a divorce. Only she got the house, the car, even the dog named Rape, which is not what it sounds. Black Diamond was about this dog. Kotipelto was singing about rape all these years. He is quite sex offender like your George Bush...

Don't feed the troll

This came out of the blue; let's hope the best for the band and for the members who had left

So Jari leaves for Killing Machine. Does that mean a new Killing Machine Album is in the works?

You've made my day

Marcus Jidell (Royal Hunt) is a great guitar player! I saw Evergrey june 2nd and july 10th here in Holland and they sound great with this line up! Great show!

A nice interview with Tom about the new album, changes in the band, the press attention and .. much more of course!
I like the fact that he marks this new album as the easiest one so far.

Personally I like the line-up a lot, after more than ten years of knowing them.. I can say that the energy is back.. so that is good news. Sometimes changes are a good thing in the end.

That's a lot of dark hair there!!!

Yes, it's a lot better to go separate ways than Dinasty-catfighting all day... for real...
