With “Architects Of A New Weave”, EVERGREY return with a cinematic and uplifting chapter that proves darkness can still reach for the light. METAL KAOZ connected with keyboardist Rikard Zander to discuss the album’s creation, from keyboard-born ideas to fully-developed Heavy Metal songs. In this conversation, he reflects on why albums still matter in the Spotify era, the renewed importance of vinyl artwork, Mikael Stanne’s clean vocal contribution, and the accidental discovery of the band’s new guitarist.
Gothenburg, Sweden’s masterminds of melancholia EVERGREY will release their fifteenth album, “Architects Of A New Weave”, on June 5 via Napalm Records. Watch the entire chat with Rikard Zander below.
