Notable collaborations, such as Mikael Stanne joining Englund in vocal duties for “A Burning Flame,” add depth and dynamism to the album.
Produced by Englund and Vikram Shankar, with a mix by Adam “Nolly” Getgood, Architects Of A New Weave offers a blend of storytelling and musical prowess that sets EVERGREY apart in the metal genre. The album includes bonus tracks like “Heights” and “One Heart,” as well as a demo version of “Longing” and instrumental tracks of “Leaving The Emptiness.” Fans can also expect a live version of “Falling From The Sun” from the band’s previous record, Theories of Emptiness.
