“…cinematic, atmospheric, bombastic and melodic.” — Heavy Music HQ
” If you’ve been craving that Fantasy film feeling, yearning for a novel that touches upon every trope and signature character while still twisting expectations, then you’re sure to love every chapter, told through song on this, the third and final piece to the Reader Of Runes saga.” — All Father
“…a truly epic work, with sharp, motivating riffs.” — Acta Infernalis
“Luna is based on balanced songwriting. The songs are fairly dynamic, but rarely monotonous and the longer songs are saved for the end. The tone is also equal parts dark and fun, as one is immersed in a fantasy book or film with battles, ale houses, magic, and mythical creatures… a job well done. ” — Target Audience Magazine
“ELVENKING has brought everything from the previous two records and filled this with the best bits to produce a monumental album that although is a concept, like most of the Runes songs you can play alone. World class performances, world class songs, and a world class production.” — My Global Mind
“…an enjoyable and satisfying listen, which is comfortingly familiar, yet at the same time, forward thinking and progressive. With a genuine knack for a catchy chorus and skillful use of melody, ELVENKING are masters of their domain, and this album is definitely up there with their best. It might be a bit early to say this, but for me, Reader Of The Runes – Luna is a strong contender for folk metal album of the year.” — Folk Metal
Producing a monumental record that boasts songs that can stand alone within the concept, the band underlines its creativity. Its keen musical marksmanship makes all songs fall into place easily while packing their own unique twists and trades.” — Headbangers Lifestyle
