Throes of Atonement by ELVENKING revealed

The new ELVENKING single is available on these platforms.

The band comments:

“Throes of Atonement” reflects a big part of the atmospheres and the mood of this third and final chapter of the “Reader of the Runes” concept trilogy. It pays tribute to the epic power metal of the 90s, a significant influence for our early days to the extent that it could almost come out of our first album “Heathenreel”.

This album delves into the past of the characters in this story, revealing the reasons behind the Reader of the Runes' wrath in the previous chapter. "Throes of Atonement" focuses on two characters, exploring adolescent jealousy and narrow-mindedness that ultimately lead to hatred and betrayal. For all the harm inflicted, whether intentional or unintentional, the ultimate punishments were penance and death." 

The lyrics video is crafted by René Berthiaume (of Equilibrium).
