Fails WP:NALBUM / WP:GNG. AllMusic does have a review of this album, but they have been the only reliable source that I have been able to locate in a WP:BEFORE search for this album. Metal Storm (webzine)'s coverage is just proof that the album existed and is not a review etc. This album does not appear to pass criterion 1 due to the fact that it does not satisfy the "multiple, non-trivial" part of "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble who created it" from WP:NALBUM, which was adapted from WP:GNG. The album does not appear to have charted that I can find, with sverigetopplistan returning no results; based on this, the album appears to not satisfy criterion #2 (charted) either.

Keep: Notable album by a notable band. Heiko Gerber (talk) 17:00, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Heiko Gerber: Rationale expanded. It does not appear that there is enough coverage to warrant a separate article for the album itself. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 17:44, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all albums to Evergrey discography. The track listings can be condensed into collapsed templates there. BD2412 T 19:14, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have no objection to this. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 03:53, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per Heiko Gerber. I found some reliable sources which talk about the album: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] and [6]. With these, the album is good enough to pass WP:NALBUM. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 16:00, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
1. Blabbermouth decent source overall, but the coverage in this instance is fairly short, with the bulk of it consisting of interview quotes. Interviews do not add anything towards demonstrating notability.
2. metalstorm.net The fact that the author field is tied to someone's Steam account gives great pause and indicates WP:SPS territory, thus disqualifying it as a source for Wikipedia purposes. metalstorm.net is not an article, which doesn't alleviate this any, nor does its absence from WP:RSP. not RS per WP:MUSICRS due to the fact that it is from before 2009
3. metal-archives is an unreliable source, as explicitly listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Metal#External links
4. metalreviews is not a source that I am very familiar with, but they are not listed in WP:RSP nor have an article on Wikipedia. This does concern me when it comes to reliability; this concern is not alleviated any when it appears to be a self-published blog post about the album by a fan.
5. metal-temple the site itself is of potentially questionable notability (also not listed at WP:RSP and appearing WP:SPS). The coverage here lacks depth.
6. AllMusic is the first unquestionably notable source with a somewhat decent review written to a professional standard.
Overall, this album appears to run into problems with WP:NOTINHERETED, WP:NRV, and a general lack of non-trivial coverage in multiple reliable publications. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:04, 15 October 2020 (UTC); amended based on newly discovered info 04:27, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I haven't looked deeply into this but the Evergrey discography mentions two national charts with a peak of 4 for Sweden. Gab4gab (talk) 15:15, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
