How did Evergrey get its start?

All of them have been playing and around for some time.

Tom started Evergrey, and is the only one from the 'original' line up.
Mike, Henk, Rikard and Jonas, most recent when Patrick left (post Recreation Day), have joined the band till they finally got it. Previous members for whatever reasons had / or chosed to do other things. A few of the ex:s are still active I beleive, Soilwork for example have ex Evergrey folks in the line up. The current members also been around it different groups and projects. A few of them have recorded albums. Rikard and Henk as well I think, and probably some more which I cant really recall...

That's what I know basically, lol

Well, you can get a deeper read at the 'sleeping' Evergrey Fan club: http://nathevergrey.free.fr/chronogb.html

Have fun :)
