Goddamn 14th album by these dudes! How is that possible? It feels like I stumbled across In Search of Truth just the other day. Anyhow, Tom Englund and his morose band of metal brethren just keep on cranking out emotive progressive metal at a prodigious rate. No real surprise here if you’re an Evergrey fan. This is an album full of what these dudes do and do very well.
