Triumphantly Powerful Yet Immensely Beautiful Storm

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 9 september 2016

Geverifieerde aankoop

Those looking for more of the aggression and hunger which characterized 2014’s Hymns for the Broken might be a bit taken aback by the relatively more melodic and sober tone to these songs. There is a huge accessibility here, not unlike what was attempted with 2006’s Monday Morning Apocalypse, only these songs are brilliantly mixed. Hugely melodic, and not quite as devastatingly dark as Hymns for the Broken, the songs here seem to accomplish what the band attempted so many years ago. They sound so incredibly comfortable this time around though, moving into more “commercial” (in the melodic sense) territory. In fact, I don’t think I ever recall Evergrey sounding so “positive” despite exploring the depths of loss in this conceptual work. The guitars, pianos, drums and vocals are really clean – no distortion here – giving these songs a very transparent and sincere feel.

Even though this album doesn’t feel as “heavy” as prior works, there are some really fantastic guitar solos, the guitar work in “Passing Through” particularly noteworthy.I absolutely love “Distance,” with the melancholy piano chords that bookend the song. Zander’s piano takes over again on the haunting “The Impossible.” It seems that this time around the more balladic tracks (“The Impossible,” “In Orbit” and the beautiful violin accompanied duet with Tom and Carina, “Paradox of the Flame”) have been mixed in equally with the heavier tracks. It’s a very mature approach to songwriting, but one that might frustrate the more metal-minded fans. Floor Jansen from Nightwish is featured on two different tracks, the aforementioned “In Orbit” and “Disconnect” – the latter song an up tempo beast with plenty of dynamic contrast, emotion and some heavy bass guitar work that preludes an instrumental breakout section featuring yet another smoking guitar solo.

The Storm Within is a wonderful outpouring of emotion and musical brilliance. It doesn’t eclipse Hymns by any means (that one a near perfect album) but it does expose a more vulnerable side of the band, one that has been aching to be explored for years. In doing so, The Storm Within perfectly complements that which has gone before yet simultaneously introduces all of us to a much more positive, mature and vital aspect of Evergrey. I expect this will be on the top of many “best of” lists this year.

Sehr atmosphärischer Dark Metal

Beoordeeld in Duitsland op 26 september 2020

Geverifieerde aankoop

Evergrey können mit "The Storm Within" fast nahtlos an das grandiose Vorgänger Album "Hyms For The Broken" anknüpfen. Auf über 58 Minuten bieten die 11 Songs eine perfekte Mischung aus Härte und Melodik.
Fette, ruppige Gitarren Riffs und atmosphärische Keyboards halten sich die Waage, dazu kommt noch der emotionale Gesang von Tom S. Englund.

Dazu gibt es auf diesem Album gleich dreimal Duett Gesang. Auf den Songs "In Orbit" und "Disconnect" glänzt Nightwish Frontfrau Floor Jansen, während auf "Paradox Of The Flame" Gattin Carina mitsingt.
Wie auch schon auf "Hyms For The Broken" gibt es auf diesem Album auch ein paar "proggige" Passagen.

"The Storm Within" kann komplett überzeugen, es gibt nicht einen auch nur mittelmäßigen Song.
Meine Highlights sind die drei oben erwähnten Songs, da sie fantastische, mitreißende Melodien aufweisen und dazu kommt bei dem 7minütigen "Disconnect" noch eine "proggige" und bombastische Note.
Eigentlich besteht die ganze zweite hälfte des Albums aus Highlights, denn auch die Songs "The Lonely Monarch"
und vor allem das Titelstück (grandioser Instrumentalpart) strotzen nur so vor Melodik und Atmosphäre.

Fazit: Ein hochmelodisches, atmosphärisches Album, dem bei aller Melodik aber auch nicht die Härte fehlt.

Splendide.

Beoordeeld in Frankrijk op 1 oktober 2016

Je dois dire que je ne suis pas forcement objectif quand je parle d'Evergrey. Certainement un de mes groupes favoris, alliant magnifiques mélodies et passages de pur métal aux guitares sous accordées.

Mais surtout ce qui fait d'Evergrey un groupe à part dans le monde des chevelus aux tee shirt noirs c'est son chanteur. Alala, Tom Englund, quelle voix ! Rien que d'écrire son nom cela me fait hérisser les poils des bras ! Il suffit d'écouter The Impossible pour comprendre que l'on à affaire ici à un vocaliste unique. Le reste de l'album reste du pur Evergrey, encore plus mélodique et onirique que le reste de sa discographie, notamment grâce aux superbes duos avec son épouse ainsi que Floor Jansen, de vrais pépites. Le reste du groupe est toujours au top, mention spécial aux claviers qui apporte une vraie plus value aux compositions.

Bref, l'album métal de l'année.

またまた傑作‼︎

Beoordeeld in Japan op 21 november 2016

Geverifieerde aankoop

このバンド、自分達の得意とするもの(個性)、自分達に求められているものを良く理解している上で、確実に一歩一歩ステップアップし、アルバムごとに少しずつ変化や進化を続けている稀有な存在である。
故に前作も素晴らしかったが、今作はそれをまた凌ぐ出来である！
ギターリフはヘヴィで、時に泣きのメロディを奏で、ドラムは楽曲をじっくり聴かせると言わんばかりのミドルテンポが主体。
今作での1番の変化はずばりキーボードでしょう‼︎
これまでのピアノ主体ではあるが、アルバム全編を覆うスペーシーで近未来的な雰囲気はこのキーボードあってこその個性。
若干ではあるが流行りのダブやコーラスなども取り入れているが、チャラくならない程度なので、これはまた上手い使い方だと思う。
ここまでくると唯一無二の存在としか言いようが無いため、〇〇風という形容の仕方は出来ない！
とにかくミドルテンポで押してスピードで勝負しないというのも良いと思う。
そういう意味ではアイスド・アースやネヴァー・モアあたりと共通点が見出せる。
ただこの独自性と個性はハマる！！！

What a great effort !

Beoordeeld in de Verenigde Staten op 11 december 2016

Geverifieerde aankoop

I reserve 5 stars for only the top albums and have given out only one other this year. The Storm Within is I believe the second best album of 2016. Avatar took the top spot but nevertheless this is a great album. Evergrey is so talented and Tom Englund is one of my favorite singers. You do not find "fillers" on an Evergrey effort. Every song is done with purpose and passion. The only other Evergrey album I believe that may be slightly better than The Storm Within is Monday Morning Apocalypse from 2006. I also loved the 2014 Hymns For The Broken but The Storm Within is even better. What a great followup effort ! Not easy to do.
Passing Through has already become one of my top 3 Evergrey songs of all time. In Orbit has Floor Jansen singing and the note she hits at the end will make your hair stand up unless you are dead ! She also sings on The Paradox of the Flame. My Allied Ocean has grown on me more and more and so has Distance. In my opinion, the title track The Storm Within, is maybe the weakest song and it is still good. No skipping anything with these 11 tracks ! Love it all. The bonus song is a remake of Black Sabbath's Paranoid done Evergrey style and very enjoyable to listen to. These guys seem to be able to do no wrong at this point.
