“Wrong”, the first single from “Glorious Collision”, the latest album from Swedish metallers EVERGREY, was certified gold in the band’s home country for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. This marks EVERGREY‘s first award in Sweden as well the first award for Steamhammer/SPV in a Scandinavian country.

The “Wrong” video was directed by Patric Ullaeus of Revolver Film Company, who has previously worked with DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES, SONIC SYNDICATE and KAMELOT, among many others.

Commented EVERGREY frontman Tom Englund: “Once again Patric Ullaeus and the Revolver film crew made five 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!”

“Wrong” comes off EVERGREY‘s new album, “Glorious Collision”, which was released in February via Steamhammer/SPV.

“Glorious Collision” track listing:

01. Leave It Behind Us
02. You
03. Wrong
04. Frozen
05. Restoring The Loss
06. To Fit The Mold
07. Out Of Reach
08. The Phantom Letters
09. The Disease …
10. It Comes From Within
11. Free
12. I’m Drowning Alone
13. … And The Distance
14. … And The Distance (Carina bonus track)

“Glorious Collision” sold around 900 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 49 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

EVERGREY‘s current lineup includes Englund and keyboardist Rikard Zander alongside new members Marcus Jidell (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums) and Johan Niemann (bass).

Swedish metallers SABATON will be the main support for IRON MAIDEN on July 1 at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg Sweden. Also scheduled to appear is GRAVEYARD.

Commented SABATON: “We are really happy to announce that we will be the main support of IRON MAIDEN when they visit Sweden on their current tour. The show will be in the biggest open air arena in Sweden, thus making it the biggest show in SABATON history… so far.”

SABATON drummer Daniel Mullback was forced to sit out the remaining dates on the band’s recent European tour “due to problems with his knees.” He was temporarily replaced by Robert Bäck. Also performing with SABATON during the trek was DRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq. He filled in for regular SABATON guitarist Rikard Sundén, who “has decided to multiply himself and will have his first kid at this time,” according to a statement released by the band.
