EVERGREY have released a new music video!
The Swedish progressive metal masters have unveiled The World Is On Fire, taken from their upcoming new album Architects Of A New Weave, which is set for release on June 5th, 2026 via Napalm Records.
The release also marks the official introduction of guitarist Stephen Platt [SCAR SYMMETRY], who officially joins EVERGREY as a full-time member after touring with the band throughout 2025.
Speaking about the new single The World Is On Fire, vocalist Tom S. Englund comments, “The World Is On Fire was one of those rare songs that reached inside me and articulated feelings I hadn’t even fully recognized yet. Once again, our timing, just as with the song Save Us is both haunting and profound. To me, this isn’t just a lament – it’s an uprising. It’s a defiant stand against the forces that thrive on chaos, fear, and silence. They want us scared, quiet, and compliant. But all we want is to raise free-spirited, free-thinking, and independent children who can help build a better world – for us, for them, and for everyone. The devastating lack of compassion and humanity is at the root of everything we see around us. This song isn’t passive acceptance or mere description of our broken reality. It’s us boldly painting a picture of the world we refuse to accept.”
Commenting on the line-up change, the band adds, “we played a lot of shows with Stephen Platt already, he’s an incredibly lovely human being on top of being a brilliant guitar player, we couldn’t be happier to have him join us for real!”
Stephen Platt says, “I’m so happy to become the new guitarist of EVERGREY. I’ve been a fan of the band for a long time now and am extremely honored to have been asked by this group of incredible musicians and people. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds!”
