Interview by Kris PetersGothenburg's finest musical expert Evergrey are returning with their fifteenth studio album Architects Of A New Weave, set for release on June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records. Whether it launches EVERGREY's boldest era yet, stands as a fierce standalone declaration, or serves as the pivotal bridge chapter that redefines their path, Architects Of A New Weave is pure cinematic motivation—ready to charge your playlist and propel your momentum forward. It's as though EVERGREY don't merely survive adversity—they rise and expand because of it. Every challenge, every setback, every wound seems to become the very oxygen that fuels their music. The darker the storm that once threatened to break them, the more powerfully each note draws breath from that same pain, transforming what hurt them yesterday into the soaring, living heart of their songs today. Architects Of A New Weave seals it: we are no longer victims of the night, but creators of new skies, new beliefs, and entirely new heavens. Grab it now. Let it arm you. This isn't just an album – it's the sound of you seizing control and building what's next. HEAVY sat down with vocalist Tom Englund to find out more, starting by asking how he feels about the album's impending release."Great. Honestly, really, really good," he smiled. "The first reactions are coming in with a few albums of the month and a bunch of great reviews. The reception from from the fans have been stellar. So far, we have released two different kinds of songs from this album; one we released prior to the album announcement called Oxygen which is an obnoxious, dark, brooding, complex song at six minutes and 20 seconds. And then we released the song called Architects of The New Weave, which is four minutes, straight to the point, sing along heavy metal.So in between those two worlds is where this album lives, which I love. That's the cool thing about being in Evergrey. We we can do pretty much whatever we want and fit everything into the Evergrey package."In the full interview, Tom framed the material as a response to current global events and a perceived loss of compassion, citing the single The World is on Fire as especially timely. He explained production goals: deliver immediate songs that reveal layered, cinematic production over repeated listens, and keep the album concise to avoid the expense of a double-vinyl package. Tom also discussed guest vocalist Michael Stanne, chosen because the melody suited his voice, and acknowledged influence from Gothenburg peers including the late Tomas Lindberg. Tour logistics for late April–early May in Australia were confirmed, with Tom admitting the difficulty of constructing setlists from a 15-album catalogue while balancing fan favourites and new material, what to expect from the shows and more.Pre-Order Architects Of A New Weave: http://lnk.to/Evergrey-ArchitectsOfANewWeaveAustralian Tour April28.04 - The Rosemount, Perth30.04 - The Baso, Canberra01.05 - Crowbar, Sydney02.05 - The Corner, Melbourne03.05 - Crowbar, Brisbanehttps://yourmatebookings.com/tours/evergrey-australia-2026/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Finnish metal veterans Amorphis continue to evolve without losing their identity, guitarist Tomi Koivusaari explains in a candid interview about creativity, risk, and returning to Australia. Balancing a 15-album catalogue and passionate fan expectations, the band still approaches setlists and songwriting with fresh intent. Koivusaari describes an instinctive, cinematic writing process shaped by nature and mood rather than rigid plans. He admits the band once lost direction experimenting, but sees that era as essential growth that ultimately defined their sound. With multiple members contributing ideas, producers now help shape each album's final form. As they prepare to return to Australian stages, Koivusaari promises a career-spanning set and a tighter, more confident live experience. Despite decades in the industry, he remains driven to improve and explore.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.
