Today marks the exciting release of the newest single, “Gone Epoch,” by Italy’s renowned power/folk metal band, ELVENKING. This track offers a taste of their upcoming album, Reader Of The Runes – Luna, which is slated to drop on April 11th through Reaper Entertainment.
“‘Gone Epoch’ is our next single out of the last chapter of the Reader Of The Runes trilogy and shows our most folk and dreamy side,” the band explains. They describe the single as an exploration of themes such as innocence lost and the simplicity of childhood, when life was filled with pure joy and dreams without worries or responsibilities. These themes resonate deeply with the narrative of their trilogy’s characters, incorporating folk influences along with epic and heavy musical elements, reminiscent of classic ELVENKING style, making it a potential fan-favorite at live performances.
