« We’re in a happy mood! », vocalist/guitarist/leader Tom S. Englund and bassist Johan Niemann of Evergrey tell us before the following interview. We shudder to think what it must be like when they’re feeling gloomy! Who the hell uses words like “illness”, “stress” and “internal struggle”, or says they’ve lost “all hope or will and all inspiration to do anything, except sitting in a sofa” and that their “mental health [is] really on the verge of breaking”, when they’re feeling good? There’s not much happiness to be found in their description of Everygrey’s body of work in general, and in the latest album, Hymns For The Broken, in particular.
But it would be unfair to these two likeable musicians to remember only the gloomy aspects of this interview. After all, they also talked about their reunion with drummer Jonas Ekdahl and guitarist Henrik Danhage, the hope said reunion aroused, the band’s new-found strength, and the experience of shooting a video from the top of a structure several hundred meters high when you’re afraid of heights – not to mention the review of a Sting concert that will probably spark off some debate.
