Tom S. Englund (Evergrey) Fan First: A Heartless Portrait, Fighting Anti-Melody, What Moves Him Most

Подробнее о видео

Tom S. Englund of Evergrey shares his story of fandom, from falling for Dire Straits and Pink Floyd as a kid through to his most meaningful fan experiences and what he loves to watch from stage. He also explores creating the Evergrey sonic palette at the same time as "The Gothenburg Sound" emerged, the intense emotional response to Evergrey's music, his views on the Ukraine war, the power to think freely (and being for or against), lyricists that explore the bigger picture, their brand new album "A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)" and much more.
