Elvenking: 'Era'

Long-running Italian power/folk metal heroes Elvenking will triumphantly unleash their next musical saga, 'Era', in Europe on September 14th through AFM-Records, and in North America on September 25th.

Era, Elvenking's mammoth seventh studio full-length, follows-up their 'Red Silent Tides' album, released in 2011 to rave reviews from fans and media alike, the album moving in a slightly cleaner, rock-oriented direction. Now in 2012 the band have forged another new path with 'Era', retracing some of their steps to sounds from their previous albums but boasting a bold, modern sound, recorded in Helsinki, Finland, at Sonic Pump Studio with producer Nino Laurene (Omnium Gatherum, Sonata Arctica, etc.).

'Era' bears twelve new tales, clocking in with nearly an hour of material, as always full of the vibrant, poetic and epic presentation Elvenking's fans have come to expect and embrace with each album. The band also brought in the legendary Jon Oliva (Jon Oliva's Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, ex-Savatage) as a guest vocalist on two of the anthems on 'Era'.
