	EVERGREY - PREPARE THEIR INNER CIRCLE
	Sweden's Evergrey Releases Ambitious The Inner Circle & Embarks on Extensive Spring North American Tour with Iced Earth and Children of Bodom. The career of Swedish melodic metal outfit Evergrey is a far-reaching journey; a kaleidoscopic expedition that ventures deeper into the human psyche with each progressing release, while simultaneously broadening the band's sphere of musical vision. April 27th, 2004 will see Evergrey enlighten the world with The Inner Circle, an adventurous conceptual album exploring the nuances of religious cults and the depth of Evergrey expanding musicianship. The album will be released through Inside Out Music America. The follow-up to 2003's lauded Recreation Day (which yielded 2 videos still in rotation on MTV2's Headbangers Ball I'm Sorry & Blinded), The Inner Circle sees Evergrey intensifying their musical ability with the utilization of a string quartet, courtesy of the Gothenburg Symphonic Orchestra, as well as handling all of the production duties themselves. The band (vocalist/guitarist Tom S. Englund, guitarist Henrik Danhage, bassist Michael Haykansson, keyboardist Rikard Zander, and drummer Jonas Ekdahl) unleashes an album that retains the band's signature brand of infectious songwriting while experimenting with new ideas, thoughts, and sonic imagery. Englund explains, "We never had any plans to go in any direction, and it is one of the things that makes Evergrey unique. We have always tried to be a complex band, but we have always maintained a pop-structure' to the songs. We are happy that we are evolving as songwriters, and we are fortunate not to repeat ourselves. With Recreation Day, we wrote recorded and released it within 5 months. With this one, we took a lot more time with it."
