Swedish progressive metal masterminds EVERGREY have released another single from their new album, Architects Of A New Weave, out 5th June, 2026 via Napalm Records.
The encouraging new single ‘Leaving The Emptiness’ offers a chorus that breaks through like sunlight piercing storm clouds. More than 30 years into their career, EVERGREY reshape their future masterfully, turning their inner fire into something unstoppable.
This is melodic, progressive, dark metal at its most massive and intimate.
Tom S. Englund about the new single ‘Leaving The Emptiness’:
“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.”

Once again, Gothenburg’s finest export proves its unmatched ability to craft timeless melodies, powerful riffs, and gripping lyrics, while continuing to surprise their devoted fans with an innovative approach, even after more than 30 years of existence.
The album arrives just days before EVERGREY take the stage as special guest to the undisputed kings of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, for two shows on their Run For Your Lives World Tour.
Dive into Architects Of A New Weave’s standout tracks like ‘The World is on Fire’, ‘Leaving The Emptiness’, ‘Heaven’, and ‘The Prophecy’, and the breathtaking title anthem ‘Architects Of The New Weave’. Their choruses break through like sunlight piercing storm clouds: enormous, cinematic melodies that pull you upward, riffs with genuine weight and bite, and vocals dripping with raw, unflinching truth. In one breath, you’re shouldering buried longing; in the next, you’re weightless, fearless, endless. Scars transform into badges of survival, fractures fuel reinvention. In the second half of the album, fellow Gothenburg icon Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Grand Cadaver, Cemetery Skyline) joins Tom S. Englund in vocal duties for ‘A Burning Flame’, the voices of the two scene legends intertwined compellingly.
Architects Of A New Weave was produced by Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar, with a stellar mix by Adam “Nolly” Getgood.
Among other exclusive formats, Architects Of A New Weave comes with a bonus album, containing bonus tracks ‘Heights’ and ‘One Heart’, as well as an album mix of the previously released standalone single ‘OXYGEN!’ (2025). Additionally, it features a demo version of ‘Longing’, instrumental tracks of ‘Leaving The Emptiness’, both new songs, as well as a live version of ‘Falling From The Sun’, the hit single from the previous record, Theories of Emptiness (2024) and continuation of ‘Ominous’ from A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) (2022).
