THE INNER CIRCLE

If you are even reading this, then you MUST have already heard about Evergrey and just how great they are. As you would expect, Evergrey offers both the most emotional ballads and most earthshaking & powerful edge. This time around, after a fantastic bout in Recreation Day, the Swedish gods push their music further and not only improve the grammar in the lyrics, but add cohesion by making it thematic about "religious cults" and the influences/intricacies therein. BUY THIS ALBUM. If you do anything other than the aforementioned suggestion, you might as well consider yourself a nu-metal fan, as you have no grasp for metal at its finest. 10/10.
