* HeavyMithril - All their albums, at least up until Glorious Collision.

* CreativeDifferences - Henrik Danhage Jari Kainulainen and Jonas Ekdahl together decided to leave Evergrey when they weren't getting along much. So they left so their friendship isn't jeapordized.
** The same thing occurs, but on a slightly less calmer note, All but one of the new member recruited to record Glorious Collision leave not long after getting the album getting released. The reason? They didn't get along with Englund.

->When the walls go down
->And ruin sets in
->Where's the tears?
->Where's the mourning?
->Where's the confessing?
->Love of Christ,
->Agony of God's heart
->We have sinned...

Evergrey is a [[ProgressiveMetal Progressive]] PowerMetal band from Sweden, established in 1995. Characterized by their dark lyrical themes, compressed (by prog standards) compositions, chugging riffs, and the instantly recognizable voice of frontman Tom S. Englund, Evergrey have gained themselves a loyal following since their emergence, although they are nowhere near as successful as [[PainOfSalvation some]] [[Music/{{Opeth}} of]] [[Music/{{Hammerfall}} their]] [[Music/{{Sabaton}} contemporaries]].

Everygrey is a [[ProgressiveMetal Progressive]] PowerMetal band from Sweden, established in 1995. Their albums are highly symbolic and not exactly the most cheerful. Their most known album, The Inner Circle is symbolic towards religion and cults. The band also has constantly contributed to Dragonland's albums, first done on Starfall. Even though the band stick to dark themes and high-symbolism, their have more diverged to HardRock with the release of Eternal Collison, considering that Henrik Danhage and everyone except Englund and Rikard Zander had left on calm terms to prevent unneeded conflict between their friendship, considering nearly all that left join DeathDestruction, [[ItMakesSenseInContext especially since their lyrical theme is hate]]. Nearly all of their loyal fans don't even consider the album to be Evergrey.
