EVERGREY 'Unplugged' In Athens; Video Available
September 24, 2009Swedish metallers EVERGREY performed an acoustic set in Athens, Greece on September 22, hosted by the Greek edition of MTV's "Headbangers Ball". The show took place in front of a small number of dedicated fans, three hours before the band's scheduled headlining appearance in the country's capital.

"Torn", the latest album from EVERGREY, entered the official chart in the band's home country at position No. 4. The CD was released in North America on September 23, 2008. The limited edition comes in a high-class digipack with one bonus track ("Caught In A Lie").
"Torn" was previously described by frontman Tom S. Englund as a "modern mix of 'In Search Of Truth' and 'Recreation Day'." "The tracks are all guitar-oriented and very atmospheric," he said. "They have exactly the sound that our fans expect from us." According to Englund, the slightly more experimental direction of EVERGREY's previous release, "Monday Morning Apocalypse", has given way again to old strengths and virtues. "Two years ago we needed an album with a slightly different approach and an expensive producer, just to find out how that sort of thing works," he explained. "It was the right album at the time, but now we have returned to our typical trademarks." This is one of the reasons why the tracks on "Torn" were self-produced by Englund together with drummer Jonas Ekdahl. In addition, the band has a new bassist, Fredrik Larsson having been replaced by former STRATOVARIUS musician Jari Kainulainen.
