I literally have my own private access to a surf break so I would never get anything done working from home, in fact I had the dy off the other day to do some renovation and spent half of the day surfing
01. Save Us 02. Midwinter Calls 03. Ominous 04. Call Out The Dark 05. The Orphean Testament 06. Reawakening 07. The Great Unwashed 08. Heartless 09. Blindfolded 10. Wildfires
The last time that Evergrey had this short a gap between records, they followed up Recreation Day with The Inner Circle, so omens are good for A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament).
Well, probably the most melodic thing Evergrey has ever released. Not many progressive elements in here, but still - love it. More than "Escape of the Phoenix". And "Wildfires" is f..... beautiful
This band can write albums, but this is not their best, vocals are softer as in olders and maybe softest albums. It wotks if you listen it from a-z few times, as whole album in old days, then it works fine.

I better die, because I never will learn speek english, so I choose dieing
The over-production on Tom's vocals almost ruins this for me. He has a great voice, why so many effects? It feels robotic at times and completely kills the emotion. I'm really not a fan of the overall approach in production, guitars also suffer at times and everything's way too compressed. That being said, the compositions are top-notch as usual. I just wish it sounded more organic.

Taste the DARK...
... and you'll live FOREVER!
It's a solid album, with stunning melodies, and very impressive song structures. There's some great synth work, aswel as some excellent guitarwork and solo's too, the vocals are a bit little soft, but they still have alot of emotion.

Based on your post, I'm thinking you're new to Evergey. The vocals are one of the reasons to try and listen to the band, I'm picky when it comes to vocals, if the vocals were meh, I would not even listen to this band, bad vocals can often ruin otherwise great instrumentation.

Your right I'm fairly new to this band, I've heard some of their stuff in the past, but I never got round to listening to any of their albums in full until now. I didn't think that much to the vocals at first, but now I quite like them, I'm more impressed by the music though. I will need to have a good listen to more of their stuff.

I recommend their 2001 album In Search of Truth.

On par with the last few albums I'd say, they've really hit their stride lately! I'd say the album is a bit more mellow and more melodic than Phoenix but otherwise its very much in the same vein as that album.
Highlights: Midwinter Calls, Call Out The Dark, Heartless, Blindfolded
'The Storm Within' was the last one which felt fantastic but since then i am getting tired with their same melodies which are becoming more softer album after album. This album is just ok for me.

In the beginning I was made of clay. Then I bit the apple and they changed me to metal 🤘
