Today marks the next chapter for Italian power/folk metal masters ELVENKING: “Reader of the Runes – Luna,” the third and final part of their celebrated trilogy, is now available for pre-order! The album promises to conclude the saga with epic melodies, dark mysticism, and untamed energy in an unforgettable way.
To accompany this, the single “Luna” is released today, 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.”
ELVENKING is currently part of the legendary Paganfest Tour 2025 that will bring them to stages all across Europe along with ALESTORM, ENSIFERUM, TYR and HEIDEVOLK.
With “Reader of the Runes – Luna,” ELVENKING not only conclude their most ambitious musical journey but also set a new benchmark in their impressive career. Frontman Damna sums it up perfectly: “This album is the culmination of all our previous work—a project we are incredibly proud of.” The album will be released on April 11, 2025, via Reaper Entertainment.
