This is actually an interesting study in *Swedish dialects and accents*, for any one who isn't Swedish. Even though the interview is in english, you can CLEARLY hear the differences between the westcoast *Gothenburg* accent (Henrik) and the *Stockholm* accent (Ola) (Sorry for the nerdy comment. Languages, dialects and accents are just incredibly fascinating to me...)
Seeing you Ola mentioning that the riff of 'More Than Ever' is one of your all time favorite riffs and then seeing Henrik playing it really gave me goosebumps and brought tears in my eyes... One of your best episodes. This show is one of your best works but this episode in particular made me feel like watching it again and again.
He avoids interviews it's said, however there are a few in text I've read in Swedish - the best chance to get a video one is probably in connection to his next solo-album I'd think.
I saw Evergrey with Children of Bodom & Iced Earth in 2004, and it was my first contact with Evergrey. I was blow away by the solos & tightness of their band. A Fan since \m/
Never heard of this guy but I saw his signature guitar for sale and really like it. I had to Google him and it brought me here. I still want the guitar lol
"Recreation Day" is one of my all time favorite albums. Ola, thank you so much for having Henrik "Chad Kroeger's better looking twin brother" Danhage in for this video!
If wearing through standard tear-drop shaped picks is a problem, try switching to triangle shaped picks. I love Clayton 1mm triangle picks. They're like having 3 picks in one.
EverGrey is Brutal!!!!!!! The guitar tone is just thick and crisp and punches you in the throat. great job Ola!!!!!!Thanks Henrik for having coffee with Ola...
I love henrik, he’s chill but sarcastic just like Tom englund. That’s what I always loved about Evergrey. They got such silly personalities but are amazing musicians.
Amazing player, saw Evergry last night in Helsingborg, they are so good, played forever, they really had it going last night, happy like small kids on stage. They really fired up the crowd. Henrik even lost it a little and shots away a couple of plectrums :-) He was feeling rich.
Evergrey are new to me, this interview made me check them out. I now have a great new band to listen to, awesome! Great interview, seems like a good bloke with a passion for what he's doing.
Henrik and Tom of Evergrey are both phenomenal players who always seem to hit the right notes at the right times. INCREDIBLE phrasing, tone, and vibrato. Jonas, Johan (pinkies out), and Rikard are all tops as well! VERY cool dudes too! GO SEE THEM when you can! BUY THEIR MUSIC!!!!!
This is AWESOME. Evergrey is one of our favorites. BenFo got to meet Henrik when they came around a few months back. He's one of Sweden's best. "More Than Ever" is one of the heaviest songs ever!!
As Ola mentioned, Henrik is definitely underrated. And so is, in my opinion, Evergrey. Great band with so much vibe, emotion and aggression. Thanks for the great interview!
I missed out on the peak of heavy metal in the 80s/90s but Evergrey and Nevermore were releasing incredible albums in my lifetime so they hold a special place in my heart. Loomis gets some of the credit he deserves (Still not enough) but as you say Henrik and Tom are completely underrated as guitarists etc. Really appreciate this interview.
Definitely evergrey and nevermore are the best of the best, i listened to many bands through the years, but some bands stick with you for a very long time, not because of media or youtube or social shit, but because they are very good, with strong music, composition, and great solos, i was pretty amazed by james murphy too , because of his many contributions with the most important bands back there, and when i found that he has a solo project, i told to my self why jeff loomis didn't do something like that, and after his departure from nevermore (and i knew that nevermore couldn't exist without him) he made it.
Didn't know this chat actually happened, glad to find it. Been a Evergrey fan since 2000's, Henrik's solos are such masterpieces, Visions being my favorite. He seems like a genuine dude.
What also impresses me is how well Europeans speak english, as an Englishman we are guilty of expecting people to just know english, this was awesome, super cool dudes, never listened to evergrey before, going to get played to death on my Spotify now, Ola strikes again introducing new metal to me. Tack Så mycket
Fantastic guitar player! First Evergrey song, that I heard was The Ambassador and I was huge fan of Evergrey ever since. Had pleasure to see them play live once, but it was a gig of a lifetime! Rock On!!!
Henrik's a beast of a player, super talented and has his own sound. Tom and Henrik are both very underrated guitarists in metal with great guitar tones. Great video Ola
Love the guitarists you bring to the table,..Henrik D is yet another naturalphenomena with a awaken soul, he speaks from the soul thru his hands,..just love that dude,...Thankz Ola for everythang,.. ;)
Best Coffee with Ola ever!! Henrik is such an underrated guitar player! When is part 2 to be released? :-) I could watch the both of you discuss just about anything forever. Two purely likeable human beings that happen to be also great guitar players at the same time.
Thanks for bringing Henrik! Evergrey is my favorite band and it's been a long time since the last time i saw a decent interview from them. Hope to see them in Brazil soon
If anyone needs help with harmonics like Henrik is doing, that's what my next video will be about. Today's new vid is about buying a first guitar for metal. 🤘
Been a huge fan of Henrik and Evergrey since early on. I’ve even been subscribed to his channel forever. Such a brilliant guitar player! Their live DVD is one of the best live shows out there.
Just found that signature model Charvel of his last week. Sweet-ass guitar and serves as my first introduction to Evergrey. That riff on "More Than Ever" IS killer!
Henrik! You Legend! Thank you brother for sharing your gift. Yes, your playing TALKS and so melodic/emotive. I am a brand new fan of Evergrey(47 years young). Have heard ALOT of music in my time and I would listen to Evergrey over DT any day of the week. :-)
Thanks for this edition Ola. I really do appreciate it. I've been a fan of Evergrey since 2000, know them personally as well. Not only they are extremely good musicians, but they are all exceptionally kind and nice people. Thanks again buddy! Hail from Hungary.
This has to be one of the best videos you ever done! And you’re totally right, Henrik is a super underrated player, The Atlantic is fucking amazing. Btw, it was such a thrill meeting you at NAMM.
Thank you so much for doing this interview Ola. I just wached it for the second time since you posted it and really enjoyed it. I agree with you that Henrik is a seriously underrated guitar player. Like all the other guys in Evergrey, he seems like a very down-to-earth and nice guy as well. I own the "A Night To Remember" DVD from the live show that you mentioned in the interview. Evergrey was my absolute favorite band during that time period and "In Search Of Truth" is still one of my favorite albums of all time. They lost me for a while though with "Monday Morning Apocalypse" sounding like they were trying to compete with the likes of Nickelback or something. While I mostly liked the music on "Glorious Collision" (which didn't even feature Henrik on guitar) I just couldn't listen to it due to the absolutely atrocious production value. Overly compressed, distorted and possibly the most obnoxious sounding snare drum I've ever heard. Needless to say I was delighted to see them all come back together again and truly return to form with "Hymns For The Broken". Now THERE was the Evergrey that I know and love. I'm super glad to hear that you are also a fan. Like you said they're kind of progressive metal only darker. That is what I love about their sound. They are really quite unique in the genre. So it's nice to see them get some much-needed attention. Once again, thanks for a truly great episode of Coffee With Ola.
SORRY GUYS, here's the full video. TH-cam decided to cut off the ending in the other video.
Thanks Ola! Awesome! You're the best!! 🤗🤗
dont you worry my dear
Ola Englund and Tom Englund same famíly?
This is actually an interesting study in *Swedish dialects and accents*, for any one who isn't Swedish.

(Sorry for the nerdy comment. Languages, dialects and accents are just incredibly fascinating to me...)
It is actually interesting! :D
where's the chef from sesame street from
man i love seeing people like you who pick these little details and who love what they are doing. keep it up man, you're awesome
It’s more of who’s used to speak English and have less broken English tbh
Seeing you Ola mentioning that the riff of 'More Than Ever' is one of your all time favorite riffs and then seeing Henrik playing it really gave me goosebumps and brought tears in my eyes... One of your best episodes. This show is one of your best works but this episode in particular made me feel like watching it again and again.
I want to see Fredrik Thordendal
Are you listening Ola! Please, please get Fredrik!
Fredrik doesn't seem to appear publicly often. In fact, I can't find a proper interview with him.
Or Dan Swano, xD
YES
He avoids interviews it's said, however there are a few in text I've read in Swedish - the best chance to get a video one is probably in connection to his next solo-album I'd think.
I love Evergrey, Henrik is a gentleman and a super awesome guitar player. Thanks Ola for bring this coffee for us
With the obvious (and justified!) admiration for Evergrey, I think Ola Englund should invite Tom Englund!
I saw Evergrey with Children of Bodom & Iced Earth in 2004, and it was my first contact with Evergrey. I was blow away by the solos & tightness of their band. A Fan since \m/
Never heard of this guy but I saw his signature guitar for sale and really like it. I had to Google him and it brought me here. I still want the guitar lol
A real old school badass.....wish I knew about him a long time ago. Thank you Ola!
The new Evergrey album ''The Atlantic'' is amazing,check it out if you haven't already.
Also,Tom Englund is a crazy underrated guitarist also.
"Recreation Day" is one of my all time favorite albums. Ola, thank you so much for having Henrik "Chad Kroeger's better looking twin brother" Danhage in for this video!
If wearing through standard tear-drop shaped picks is a problem, try switching to triangle shaped picks. I love Clayton 1mm triangle picks. They're like having 3 picks in one.
I love that Charvel! Fire!!!
EverGrey is Brutal!!!!!!! The guitar tone is just thick and crisp and punches you in the throat. great job Ola!!!!!!Thanks Henrik for having coffee with Ola...
Henrik blows my mind. Love his attitude and his playing talks. Solos are out of this world.
Yes Evergrey. I love that band.
I love henrik, he’s chill but sarcastic just like Tom englund. That’s what I always loved about Evergrey. They got such silly personalities but are amazing musicians.
He really is the most underrated
This guy is now my favorite guitar player. No bullshit badass
Amazing player, saw Evergry last night in Helsingborg, they are so good, played forever, they really had it going last night, happy like small kids on stage. They really fired up the crowd. Henrik even lost it a little and shots away a couple of plectrums :-) He was feeling rich.
One of my favorite bands EVER!! Evergrey KICK ASSES! Tks for this video
Love Evergrey! Great band, great players, and Henrik seems like a really cool guy. Definitely agree that he is extremely underrated.
One of my all time favorite players from one of my all time favorites. A hugely underrated band and guitarist in the states. Thank you, Ola.
Evergrey are new to me, this interview made me check them out. I now have a great new band to listen to, awesome! Great interview, seems like a good bloke with a passion for what he's doing.
Albums 2-5 are gems of metal
His solo on King of Errors is awesome.
Very nice interview! Henrik Danhage rocks!
“And the solos..” Ola, you said it for all of us .. Love Henrik
Henrik and Tom of Evergrey are both phenomenal players who always seem to hit the right notes at the right times. INCREDIBLE phrasing, tone, and vibrato. Jonas, Johan (pinkies out), and Rikard are all tops as well! VERY cool dudes too! GO SEE THEM when you can! BUY THEIR MUSIC!!!!!
This was great! I really like that I get to know guys who I've never even heard of. Thanks, Ola!
@mikko ...yeah I'd never heard of him either, but he's pretty damn awesome
I love Evergrey and Henrik, so awesome to see him on here!
Henrik’s awesome and so is Evergrey.
This is AWESOME. Evergrey is one of our favorites. BenFo got to meet Henrik when they came around a few months back. He's one of Sweden's best. "More Than Ever" is one of the heaviest songs ever!!
As Ola mentioned, Henrik is definitely underrated. And so is, in my opinion, Evergrey. Great band with so much vibe, emotion and aggression.
Thanks for the great interview!
Love this! Henrik is one of my favorite players around.
"You want some money as well?" hahah guys a riot.....Love Evergrey :)
So stoked for you to have Henrik on the show!
Saw him with Evergrey in Barletta (Italy) few years ago. He was just right in front of me. Amazing performance, amazing showmanship. Henrik the great.
He really speaks with his guitar, through our ears to our soul!
I missed out on the peak of heavy metal in the 80s/90s but Evergrey and Nevermore were releasing incredible albums in my lifetime so they hold a special place in my heart. Loomis gets some of the credit he deserves (Still not enough) but as you say Henrik and Tom are completely underrated as guitarists etc. Really appreciate this interview.

Henrik is a beast on six strings... totally underrated 🤘
A touch of blessing
What also impresses me is how well Europeans speak english, as an Englishman we are guilty of expecting people to just know english, this was awesome, super cool dudes, never listened to evergrey before, going to get played to death on my Spotify now, Ola strikes again introducing new metal to me. Tack Så mycket
One of favourite active guitarists, right up there with Marco Sfogli.
Thanks for the video, Ola. ♥️🙏
Henrik is a beast and should be mentioned in guitarist related conversations waaaaay more! 🤘
More than Ever is my favorite Evergrey song as well!
Evergrey is a great band of musicians and really nice guys. 🤘🏼
And I forgot to mention that their new album "The Atlantic" is amazing. Check it out if you haven't already!
Two of my favorite three swedish guitar players... Hands down...
Fantastic guitar player! First Evergrey song, that I heard was The Ambassador and I was huge fan of Evergrey ever since. Had pleasure to see them play live once, but it was a gig of a lifetime! Rock On!!!
"you are a drummer, you are not supposed to know that" :D awesome
Henrik is still my inspiration. I play the guitare since 18 years.. No one else inspires me more than him. It's all about feeling, heart and balls.
Great interview to one of the greatest lead guitarists.
I love the way he plays the guitar, its like a love song with passion
Another fantastic video Ola. These videos just help us fans take a small peek at the awesome Sweden metal scene.
Jesper Strömblad would be cool.
Henrik's a beast of a player, super talented and has his own sound. Tom and Henrik are both very underrated guitarists in metal with great guitar tones.
Great video Ola
Love the guitarists you bring to the table,..Henrik D is yet another naturalphenomena with a awaken soul, he speaks from the soul thru his hands,..just love that dude,...Thankz Ola for everythang,.. ;)

Cracks me up that Henrik has a tough time remembering things. Fun guy to listen to.
When people come on your show sometimes I have never heard of them. Now I feel like I have and am likely to follow them.
Thanks for bringing Henrik! Evergrey is my favorite band and it's been a long time since the last time i saw a decent interview from them. Hope to see them in Brazil soon
Oh I am glad this one isn't cut off. I like these interviews.
We love Henrik’s guitar playing and he’s super cool to talk shop with 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great sound and playing style.
What i love from coffee with Ola is that I know a lot of great bands
I'm obsessed with Evergrey and their playing lately. Excellent video
Perfect! Now do one with tom!! 😍
Cool interview congrats Ola one of my favorite bands....
Great!! I'm so happy to see Henrik Danhage here!! Thank`s Ola!!
If anyone needs help with harmonics like Henrik is doing, that's what my next video will be about. Today's new vid is about buying a first guitar for metal. 🤘

Get some of the guys from entombed or dismember on coffee with Ola!
Or the guys from Bolt Thrower or Jo the bass player.
Dave Blomquist please!!!
I just love old instruments that has wear and tare. It´s been used, loved and given a story
LOVE the relict look... That guitar is sick!!
Jantelagen is strong. This guy is so amazing and humble
I saw him in Italy supporting Dream Theater..such a great guitarist!
Great player. his solo in "King of errors" is Killer (with big K).
Thanks for this edition Ola. I really do appreciate it. I've been a fan of Evergrey since 2000, know them personally as well. Not only they are extremely good musicians, but they are all exceptionally kind and nice people. Thanks again buddy! Hail from Hungary.
I remember when I first discovered that diminished arpeggio I was so surprised that it made that sound haha. So awesome and relatively easy to play.
Can't believe Charnel released that guitar a signature model 😳
Another great cup of coffee ☕️
Great...Thanks Ola
Nice video Ola. It was time well spent to watch this. Thanks to Henrick for making me into a new fan of his!
Fi Faen Ola....another great CWO, keep it up!
Waaaaaaaaa! Thats what I wanted!!!!! Thanks, Ola! Cheers from Hungary! ;)
Great show, great guest
This has to be one of the best videos you ever done! And you’re totally right, Henrik is a super underrated player, The Atlantic is fucking amazing. Btw, it was such a thrill meeting you at NAMM.
Excellent interview! It hardly seemed like it was 50+ minutes. You're really settling down well and getting more comfortable with them
My favorite Band!
Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Bout time!!!!! Nice job gents.
never heard about this band, but intro at 1:02 got me really interested.
Oh dude, you have to listen to them. Evergrey is so damn good. Recreation Day and Monday Morning Apocalypse are some of my favorites!
Henrik speaks with his solos thats correct. To me the best emotional soloist of all times
Great interview-talk Ola!!!
Cheers from Mexico! 🤘
32:50 the "More than ever" riff!!
Yesssss!
Thanks for a great video just love Evergrey. Have a skilful time. Pinge

Great interview Ola! Henrik is so humble and awesome player
Currents by EVERGREY on the album Atlantic is just wow 🤩
Great interview! Nice to see Henrik finally
