Try and check out Mercenary and a french band called Adagio

 

[PRauhala]

Adagio, Symphony X, Shadow Gallery are the best ones in progressive metal

OK, that went realy wrong. I might not post late at night anymore, my spellnig just sucked for an Aussie.
What i meant was, what bands do the members of Evergrey (Tom, Henrik, Jonas, Michael, Rikard) list as major influences, and what bands are they listening to at the moment.
Question: Mark II

I know Tom's favorite is Pink Floyd. Tom is kind of like a metal version of David Gilmour.

 

[MetalBanger]

Jonas: KISS, Haji, Whitesnake, Steve Vai, Norah Jones, Pantera.
Rikard: Judas Priest, Magnum, Y&T, Manowar, MSG.
Tom: Pink Floyd, Tori Amos, emotional stuff like that.
Michael: Nevermore, Death, Pain Of Salvation, Devil Doll, Paradise Lost, Symphony X, Cannibal Corpse, Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Testament, Dream Theater, Type O Negative, Rush, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Morbid Anglel, etc
Henrik: Don't know his favorite bands but the last time I saw him, he was wearing a KISS t-shirt.

I heared Tom on swedish radio a week ago talking about how great he thought Queensryche was. He had brought "operation mindcrime" to the radiostudio and played his favourite songs.

They also like King Diamond. In the studio footage for Recreation Day they are listening to Gary Moore's Out in the fields.

 

[MetalBanger]

I just think they like all kinds of metalbands except nu-metalbands

That was funny to see Manowar on Rikards list!

I also know that they pretty much like whatever that is good or interesting. However, I dont think that the above list covers their current sources of inspirations. I think that was more like a "I was brought up with..." thing or similar. Not "my current influences and what I play the most"...

Staygrey!!
