On the 12th of July for the first time in Bulgaria we will see the Italian power/folk metal band Elvenking. The latest album of the Italians is expected to be released on April 11 this year and is titled “Reader of the Runes-Luna”.
Not many bands understand heavy metal in the way Elvenking do – not only delivering touching music but creating a whole fictional universe around it. Ever more the masters in combining catchy tunes and huge choruses with intricate fantasy atmosphere and expansive instrumental parts, Elvenking prove to be a natural successor of metal high wizards such as Helloween, Avantasia or their biggest influence Skyclad, successors to the throne. And the large arenas, at that. In their sagas, Elvenking evoke the sense of another world, transporting us into a fantasy realm where the moon sings to you, strange creatures bathe in starlight and magic is everywhere. Not many bands are able to pull that off any more.
