EVERGREY will release their fifteenth album, “Architects Of A New Weave”, on June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records, just days before the band takes the stage as special guest of IRON MAIDEN for two shows on their “Run For Your Lives” world tour. An animated music video for the LP’s first single “Architects Of The New Weave” is now released.

Watch “Architects Of The New Weave” below.

EVERGREY frontman Tom Englund about the animation video:

We went bold: a stunning, immersive introduction to Mattias Norén’s absolute magnum opus of album artwork. Every tiny, intricate detail comes alive on screen, with the track thundering as the perfect dark soundtrack.

– It’s hypnotic, lets the art breathe, and pulls you deeper into our world –

We could’ve chosen any track from the album as the lead, but this one’s the perfect explosive opener to our new era of beautiful darkness. I’ve never been more fired up. Crank it loud, join the weave, and let’s build something unstoppable together”.

Tom Englund states about “Architects Of The New Weave”: “‘Architects Of The New Weave’ — it’s a blistering first single from our 15th studio album, ‘Architects Of A New Weave’, (or the second ferocious strike, if you’re counting our standalone powerhouse ‘Oxygen!’ as its own beast)!

“I am not afraid to claim this is a no-brainer, sing-along-friendly, straight-up great metal song! It came ignited from Rikard Zander‘s killer keyboard riff, which we hammered into a short, but massive headbanger!

“When crafting that chorus keyboard line, (DIO‘s) ‘Rainbow In The Dark’ was blasting in my head — pure epic inspiration, giving it that timeless, fist-pumping edge. There are dual guitar solos, trading fire in classic old-school style, melodic and memorable. We can’t wait to let this rip live!

“I’m torn on music videos sometimes — I adore them as an art form, but too often the visuals steal focus from the music itself.”
