I saw them in 2004 with Children of Bodom and Iced Earth. Evergrey was opening in support of The Inner Circle which dropped the day I saw them but the set was heavy on Recreation Day stuff. They played Ambassador and Michael's bass amp was turned up to 15 I swear to god. CoB were touring for Hate Crew Deathroll and it was Janne's birthday and Alexi kept dumping Jager down his throat during their set. Iced Earth were headlining in support of The Glorious Burden and did the entire Gettysburg trilogy, complete with canons, half the band dressed as union soldiers half as confederates with their guitars/drums/bass painted up as either the Union or confederate flags. Night ended with the song Iced Earth....Ripper hit that long note mid song....and held it.....and held it....and held it....and kept holding it. So long that the band one by one stopped playing and started dying with laughter. They had quite the lineup too - Richard Christy (Death/Obituary/Charred Walls of the Damned, Ripper (Winters Bane, Priest, Charred Walls of the Damned, KKs Priest), James Macdonough (Nevermore, Megadeth), Ralph Santolla (Millenium, Decide, Death, Obituary, Sebastian Bach, Jon Oliva's Pain), and the riffage god Jon Schaffer. Epic tour, classic albums, classic lineups. A Night to Remember indeed (

Hi Ola and Tom Little anecdote from Tom and the rest of the group. They came to Brest, France in 2005-2007. The guys are super cool, great concert and when the bar closed, we continued the evening and they ended up sleeping on the bar counter. They had drunk too much.

Hi Tom, I just turned 55 and was so lucky to have just heard of evergrey. Sorry I was late to the party but better late than never. I know you give dream theater lots of credit, but I don't think they could sound even close to you guys. I enjoy both bands equally. Actually I think your style has more appeal to my ears these days. Not sure if I heard true with you and your wife splitting up, if so sorry to hear. But I will say if the silent arc has anything to do you with it. Holy cow my friend you guys did an amazing job on that album. Enough said from a new fan in Ontario Canada. Thanks guys for what you create.

Awesome. Tom, your voice is like nothing else. Loved you on Ayreon's 01011001 too. Good point on the expanded area in the brain for inspiration when keeping on writing. The same is true for learning new languages and learning an instrument. I hope you follow up on that and BBC Horizon picks it up. 💥 Regarding guitars, man, I have the same thing with cameras and lenses. People ask me which lenses I use all the time, but to me they're like brushes to a painter. Love that you're keeping it real. Take care and can't wait for the new album.

Thanks for this interview. Absolutely love Evergrey, and have been a fan since 2001. And I still have not been able to catch them live. They are the last band on my list of shows to see before I die. And for Evergrey fans, check out the collaboration between Tom and Vikram Shankar, called Silent Skies. One of the things that's always stood out to me, with Evergrey, is the use of piano. With Tom's warm, soulful voice it really makes them stand out. And Vikram is an incredibly talented musician that absolutely suits Tom's voice. It's a really great collaboration.

Incredible band, yet seriously underrated. With a dozen albums to work with, theyve got so much for everyone. Their earlier albums are more Gothic, atmospheric metal. Like mid 90s Paradise Lost, some Metallica , but layered with deep dark melodies and high emotion. Their recent albums are more downtuned, and utterly full of powerful songs. I cant recommend them enough.
