Another good choice James. I'd go with Dark Discovery before Monday Morning
Apocalypse, just because it came first.

If you don't have Inner Circle though, that should be your next buy. It is
incredible, and gets better every time I hear it.

And the DVD is nothing short of spectacular. Seriously, all other music DVDs
pale in comparison.

>Bronell/guitars, Daniel Nojd/bass-backing vocals and Patrick
>Carlsson/drums. This lineup would implode shortly after with only

>There are mid-paced songs and slow songs full of melancholy,

>Solitude Dominance Tragedy has been reissued, but the only addition

>Now, the question for me is should I get the newest Evergrey or their

>it's the best he's ever seen.
