What are your expectations from the upcoming tour of Europe with KAMELOT?

EVERGREY will play the ProgPower USA XII festival in September. What can people expect at that show?

"Leave It Behind", a brand new song from EVERGREY, can be streamed below (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep). The track comes off the band's new album, "Glorious Collision", which will be released via Steamhammer/SPV on the following dates:

Germany: February 25
Rest Of Europe: February 28
USA/Canada: February 22

"'Leave It Behind' was among the first three songs we wrote for this album," Englund told Noisecreep. "It very much sums up what I felt back then and also represents the melancholy of the album well. With all the lineup changes and the turmoil with what was left of the band when writing this song, we didn't even know if we were going to continue. Listening to it today. I understand in a way why we kept going."
