After suffering a massive line-up change, many wondered what would become of Evergrey. Losing three of five members has to take a toll, no matter who you are. And yet, Evergrey are releasing their eighth studio album, ‘Glorious Collision, tomorrow. So, the question lingers: what did the line-up change do to the sound of Evergrey? Check after the jump to see if this progressive symphonic metal act still has the same impact and power.

The album opens up with ‘Leave It Behind’, starting with a beautiful, yet mellow choir before slamming into the intensity we’ve come to expect from Evergrey. On top of being an incredibly satisfying transition, the main aspect that stands out is the impeccable mixing and production. This song sounds damn good and the quality persists through the entirety of the album. This alone would make the album a joy to listen to. Thankfully, Evergrey also give an album full of solid songs that are sure to get any metalhead pumped up.
The production of the album is gorgeous. The vocal harmonies are spacious and breathtaking, the instruments sound rich, thick and are wonderfully articulate and the extra flourishes add dimensions that make this an album that demands repeated listens. 
After such a change in band dynamics, I myself was seriously wondering if Evergrey could put out an album that hit me as hard as ‘Recreation Day’ had. Well, my worries have been put aside and I can safely say that this will rank among the finest Evergrey albums, if not in the top releases this year.
The Final Word: Do you like Evergrey? If your answer is yes, then buy this album, no questions. ‘Glorious Collision’ starts 2011 off with a kick in the ass and a punch to the face. This is symphonic dark metal done to near perfection.
Check out: ‘Leave It Behind’, ‘Frozen’ and ‘Out Of Reach’.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
