Metal Exiles' Rob "Bubbs" Harris has issued an interview with EVERGREY frontman, Tom Englund. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Let’s start off with an important topic. I’ve heard a rumor, and I’m not sure if it’s true, that this is Evergrey’s last album. Is there truth to this?

A: "Well, things do happen, as you know, when you are doing this (music). We’ve had so many members over the years in Evergrey that we could have a soccer team or something. Last year, around this same time, I had the feeling that I didn’t really know if I wanted to do this anymore. We had just lost integral members of the band, and I had no idea what was going to happen. Maybe I let that slip out and it was taken out of context or something, but it isn’t anything that has been decided. Right now, things are going extremely well, for what seems like the first time in ages. The response to the new record is amazing. Finally, North America and Europe seem to agree on Evergrey for a change. We’ll just have to see what happens, I suppose. We’re at least going to stick around and let this album resonate a bit and give our fans as much of us as we can."

Evergrey's 's new album, Glorious Collision, was met with extremely positive fan reaction and critical acclaim. The album entered the North American Independent Charts at #125, the North American Heat Seeker Chart at #50, #36 in Finland and # 8 in their native land of Sweden.

Additional European tour dates as well as a North American tour announcement are expected soon.

Evergrey's new video, for 'Wrong' can be seen below. The video was helmed by acclaimed director Patric Ullaeus and the Revolver.se crew. The song is taken from the band's Glorious Collision album.

Frontman Tom Englund commented on the video: “This is the video for our song Wrong. Once again Patric Ullaeus and the Revolver.se film-crew made 5 stupid guys from Sweden look like a million dollars, well maybe not like a million but for sure better than the 20-dollar hookers we normally look like. The song will give all dark, tough and depressed people a soundtrack and most certainly a legit reason to cry your hearts out. If crying is not your thing, see if you´re man enough to match that guitar-solo. Or you can just enjoy the vid and the damn song!”
