EVERGREY releases video for 'Leaving The Emptiness'
06-05-2026
Swedish progressive metal band 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 to IRON MAIDEN for two shows on their “Run For Your Lives” world tour. The official music video for the LP’s third single, “Leaving The Emptiness”, is released now.
Watch “Leaving The Emptiness” below.
EVERGREY frontman Tom S. Englund comments: “Our new single is a high-energy firecracker that makes you want to jump — we know, because we just played it in Brazil twice and people were more in the air than on the ground. But don’t let the adrenaline fool you. Underneath the surge is something rawer — a song about the moment you stop running from what hurts and finally turn to face it.
“‘Leaving The Emptiness’ hits hard because it earns it. The tension between the euphoric, major-key drive and the weight of the lyrics is completely intentional — we want you to feel joy and ache at the same time, because that’s what it actually feels like to face your demons and come out the other side. We also made a video that matches that energy in every way, and we genuinely cannot wait for you to see it. If you’ve ever stood in a crowd and felt the music pull something out of you that you didn’t know was still there — for us, this is that song.”
Watch the previously released “The World Is On Fire” and “Architects Of The New Weave” below.
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.”
