On April 11th, Italian pagan/folk metal masters ELVENKING will release their new full-length, Reader Of The Runes – Luna, via Reaper Entertainment. The album marks the spectacular conclusion to The Reader Of The Runes trilogy and promises to close the saga with epic melodies, dark mysticism, and untamed energy in an unforgettable way. In advance of the record’s release today the band unveils latest single, “Luna,” along with a spectacular music video directed by Matteo Ermeti.
“Luna” serves as the emotional centerpiece of the album and perfectly embodies ELVENKING‘s essence. Guitarist and songwriter Aydan describes the song as “a piece that shows ELVENKING in its purest form – epic, powerful, and filled with deep emotion.”
