Additional notes
Evergrey's lyrics have always been of the darker sort. The same can be said of the band's imagery. While The Dark Discovery dealt with a variety of ideas, later albums have been concept albums, dealing with issues like self-reformation (Recreation Day), paranoia, alien abduction (In Search of Truth), child abuse, cults and religion (The Inner Circle).
Tom S. Englund performed session vocals on Nightrage's debut album in 2003.
He has also performed guest vocals for Ayreon.
