Såg du sista scenen där? Och vad tänkte du om vad Jonas gjorde och sa?

Citerar början av Descriptionen.

Nu har Evergreys mastermind Thomas Steffen Englund varit på tapeten i en intervju (18:43) med Chaoszine (YT).

Lite snack om hur nya albumet tog form och så vidare, inget spektakulärt i och för sig.

Sen är en annan sak att många har sett nya musikvideon till låten "Say" och gjort en tolkning att Jonas Ekdahl (drums) lämnar bandet. Kanske också jag, eller vad betyder slutscenen i musikvideon?

Nu har väl redan gissat det men nu är det svart på vitt

Longtime EVERGREY Drummer JONAS EKDAHL Announces His Departure
Jonas Ekdahl, longtime drummer for Swedish metallers EVERGREY, has announced his departure from the band.

"Earlier today, Jonas released the following message via EVERGREY's social media: "Over the last couple of years, my passion within music has gradually shifted from touring and playing live shows to the creative aspect of being in the studio: writing songs, recording, producing, and mixing. It has reached a point where I no longer find joy and excitement in touring, making it difficult to continue. It has felt like I was traveling away from something rather than toward something whenever we would go out to play. Instead, I want to dedicate my time, focus, and energy to writing, producing, and mixing. Therefore, I will no longer be performing gigs or tours as a drummer.

"It's important for me to clarify that the lack of passion for playing live is solely the reason for my decision. It wouldn't be fair to the band or to myself to continue doing something that doesn't excite me or bring me happiness. Equally important for me to mention is that I still hold just as much love for the guys in the band as before. They will always be like older brothers to me, having taken me under their wings since I was 17 years old. I have nothing but love and respect for them!

"It feels like I'm going out with a bang in the most positive sense. I'm so proud of what the five of us have accomplished together with 'Theories Of Emptiness'. The album truly feels special in so many ways and I hope that it will translate and resonate with you guys just as much as it does to me, and, I will still be involved in EVERGREY in terms of songwriting and production.

"With all this being said, we have an incredible drummer ready to take over for me in 2024, and I can't wait to hear and see him play! He's truly exceptional, and I'm sure you'll love him because behind the drums, he's a beast!

"Thank you, thank you for everything!"

Jag tycker alltid det är lite sorgligt när någon person väljer att lämna ett band, speciellt om den varit med så länge att man lärt sig förknippa personen med bandet.
Kul att han fortsätter vara involverad i bandet på ett sätt iaf.

Jag lyssnade mycket på Evergrey förut, men har inte uppdaterat mig på deras diskografi på länge.

Vilket album var det du upphörde med? Kan ge dig facit om du vill.

"Glorious Collision" från 2011 var senaste albumet jag lyssnade på, men gillade dem som mest runt 1999 med albumet "Solitude, Dominance, Tragedy".

Det gick inte så dåligt för Evergrey i senaste nr av Sweden Rock Magazine (SRM #5/2024). Deras nya album "Theories Of Emptiness" toppade listan i Juryn och fick en topp-recension dessutom (8 eller 9 i betyg).
