#437: Evergrey's Tom Englund

This week, Evergrey guitarist/vocalist Tom Englund is our guest! We
discuss the huge number of songs he wrote and recorded during the
pandemic, working on video game soundtracks (including the new Evil
Dead game), how a musical director dictates their vision when
creating music for any game, and making music on a day job schedule
every week. We also discuss how he got fans to participate vocally
on the band’s upcoming album A Heartless Portrait (The Orphan
Testament), how Evergrey are planning to celebrate the 25th
anniversary of the band, and updates on new albums from his other
projects including Redemption and Silent Skies. Petar, Brandon, and
Sylvia also discuss Judas Priest getting inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame, Danzig stating that his current tour may be his
last, at what age heavy music artists should call it a day, and Rob
Zombie’s The Munsters being nearly 3 hours long. Song: Evergrey
