Evergrey - 'Call Out The Dark' (Piano Vocal Version)

We chose the night to be left alone
'Cause when life's a lie you want to leave the cold
For something that you know
Because the only thing I can trust is
Is that my inside will show me how to stay the same
You saw me, you feel it
So you know

That we call out the dark
We call out the dark
Call out the dark
We call out the dark

I collide
I swim against the tide
With no one to rely on
You're safe when you're alone
'Cause when your own your own
The only thing you can trust is
Is that your inside
Is a place where you can stay

And that you feel it like I feel it
Then I can show you
I know the way out of fear and
And how to stop the bleeding

You call out the dark
We call out the dark
Call out the dark
We call out the dark

We call out the dark
We call out the dark
We call out the dark
We call out the dark

We were dark angels from the start
And we heard the call from the dark
Call out the dark
We call out the dark

We call out the dark...

"From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits", δηλαδή από το ντεμπούτο (το εκπληκτικό "The Dark Discovery") στο πλέον πρόσφατο full length album ["A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)"]. Έτσι τιτλοφορείται το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Evergrey (με τον χαρακτηριστικό υπότιτλο "A lifetime of metal"). Πρόκειται για συλλογή με "ζωντανές" και σπάνιες ηχογραφήσεις τραγουδιών των Σουηδών metallers και θα κυκλοφορήσει μεθαύριο μέσω της δισκογραφικής εταιρείας Napalm Records...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Within 30 years of existence, Evergrey - Gothenburg’s finest export of darkness - has gathered numerous worldwide chart positions with thirteen studio albums in total and enthralled fans around the globe with their matchless stage appearances at Europe’s biggest festivals and countless headline shows.

Today, the unit centered around mastermind Tom S. Englund - one of the most distinctive vocals in metal - takes devotees back to their successful European tour stop in Lyon, France last year with a live version and visualizer video for their intense song “Recreation Day”.

The release creates the perfect mood and marks the celebration of 30 years of metal mastery with their anniversary album, From Dark Discoveries to Heartless Portraits, out December 15 via Napalm Records. The album wraps up three decades of Evergrey’s journey, carries some very special treats along with it, and cements their position as one of the most genre-defining bands of our time.»

Το τραγούδι "Call Out The Dark" το γνωρίσαμε μέσα από τον πλέον πρόσφατο δίσκο των Evergrey "A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament)" που κυκλοφόρησε πέρυσι. Παρακολουθούμε το μουσικό βίντεο με την (αποκαλούμενη) "Piano Vocal Version" του τραγουδιού και τον drummer Jonas Ekdahl να μας λέει σχετικά:

«I love how Tom and Rikard manage to take these songs and transform them into something unique and different than its original form and sound.

If you manage to remove all the production elements within a song and strip everything down to its essence, and still feel that it holds up and sounds good - you know it’s a good song!

That’s exactly what they have done with these Piano/Vocal versions in my opinion.

This version of ’Call Out The Dark’ delivers slightly darker vibe and the lyrics stand out and reach you even more than on the original version.»
