Evergrey

Evergrey lands in Dublin on 29 November 2026 at Opium with a set that leans into shadow, melody and precision. Built around singer-guitarist Tom S. Englund since the late 90s, the Gothenburg band shapes progressive metal where incisive riffs, atmospheric keys and expressive vocals keep the tension in focus. Their writing circles themes of loss, redemption, belief and inner turmoil, unfolding in songs that move from weighty grooves to bare, spacious passages without losing the thread. On stage, they favor clarity and contrast: tight rhythms, guitars that bite then recede, choruses that stay just long enough to leave a mark. The show promises a tour through different eras of their catalogue, balanced between newer cuts and tracks that define their identity. No grandstanding, just a group that knows how to build narrative and texture, letting dynamics do the work. A chance to catch Scandinavian prog metal up close, in a room where the details carry.
