Gothenburg's Evergrey Releases Third Top-Notch Track “Blindfolded”

Positioned at the top of the scene for over 25 years with their prog-infused dark melodic metal mastery, worldwide chart-toppers EVERGREY - led by frontman Tom S. Englund - traverse new horizons with their new album, A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), out May 20, 2022 via Napalm Records.

Today, after unveiling pounding album opener and first single “Save Us”, followed by powerful “Midwinter Calls”, EVERGREY conjure another overwhelming epos along their ongoing adventurous journey. The third single, “Blindfolded”, hits with pounding drums and flickering, synth-laden atmosphere. With its insanely grooving guitar solo topped by Englund’s incredible vocals, the track marks the perfect gateway into captivating soundscapes. The upcoming EVERGREY album makes it apparent: Tom S. Englund keeps outdoing himself. In “Blindfolded”, his singular falsetto choices elevate the whole vocal performance to “outstanding”. Leave what you know behind and get transported by EVERGREY’s enchanting new track.

Just like all songs released from A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) to date, “Blindfolded” is visually highlighted via a cinematic music video, closing the chapters of a three-video story and taking the listener to where it all started.

EVERGREY on “Blindfolded”: “This is the third and last video of our trilogy. It features our acting debut that you shouldn't take too seriously! It's also really the first episode of this three-piece story.

We hope you enjoy and share it and your thoughts about it!”

A new era of EVERGREY: A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) is dark melodic metal mastery!

A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), the follow-up to the unit’s highly successful 2021 full-length, Escape of the Phoenix (which landed at numerous chart positions worldwide), reveals a 10 track mélange of which every note, every riff and every word seeps pure poetry – creating a ceaseless intensity that mesmerizes from the very first second.

The new album was recorded at Top Floor Studios Gothenburg, engineered by Jakob Herrman and produced by Tom S. Englund and Jonas Ekdahl, with mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios (Volbeat, Destruction, Epica and many more), whereas the hauntingly beautiful album artwork was conjured by Giannis Nakos at Remedy Art Design. Nakos is known for creating artworks for acts like Oceans Of Slumber, Amaranthe, The Agonist and The Crown as well as merchandise for Morbid Angel, Suffocation or Cryptopsy – just to name a few.

EVERGREY on the new album: “Here it is! A new album! Yet again! This is what we love about music, it never ends! Our mission is to write music so here you are! 10 new songs! 10 new EVERGREY songs that we hope you will have by your side as your life continues to shift and grow. 10 songs that we wish will be part of the soundtrack when you're creating new memories and new possibilities in your life. 10 songs that we feel privileged to have you listen to. 10 songs that have risen through the ashes of two years where our creativity has had more time than ever to flourish.

10 songs we really hope you will enjoy as much as we did writing them. As usual we have given it our best and we can't wait to hear what you have to say! A new year, a new album, a new record label = new possibilities. All this can only be positive, right?

Enjoy!

Tom, Jonas, Rikard, Johan & Henrik”
