Artist: EVERON
Album: NORTH (DIGI)

Year: 2008
Media type: CD

Six years is quite a long time, but it seems like Oliver Philipps spends some of that time gathering inspiration. With North the band releases its seventh studio album, the style is Progressive Rock / Metal and the result is a refreshing breeze of highly versatile and dynamic music.

The lyrics have both depth and thought put into them. The album raises questions about choices, consequences and priorities in life, it deals with fragile human connections and somehow the aspect of time is an enduring and interesting element.

The sound is deliciously crisp and crystal clear; it has a cool deep and "up front" impact that hits your senses immediately.

The ingenious use of orchestrations gives the album an ingenious dimension, the instruments have a cool synergy effect going on and most songs are appealingly catchy. Welcome back!
