Swedish heavy metal legends Evergrey have shared a third single, “Blindfolded”, and accompanying official video via Napalm Records. The track, as well as previously-released “Save Us” and “Midwinter Calls” are taken from the group’s forthcoming album A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), which is set to land on May 22nd, 2022.
Evergrey comments: “This is the third and last video of our trilogy. It features our acting debut that you shouldn’t take too seriously! It’s also really the first episode of this three-piece story. We hope you enjoy and share it and your thoughts about it!”
A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament), the follow-up to the unit’s highly successful 2021 full-length, Escape of the Phoenix (which landed at numerous chart positions worldwide), reveals a 10 track mélange of which every note, every riff and every word seeps pure poetry – creating a ceaseless intensity that mesmerizes from the very first second.
The new album was recorded at Top Floor Studios Gothenburg, engineered by Jakob Herrman and produced by Tom S. Englund and Jonas Ekdahl, with mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios (Volbeat, Destruction, Epica and many more), whereas the hauntingly beautiful album artwork was conjured by Giannis Nakos at Remedy Art Design.
The album can be pre-ordered here.
