I think somebody already posted something about this, but I could not find it using the search tool....

From http://www.bravewords.com/news/187901 :

Italian metallers ELVENKING will release their new album, Era, on September 14th via AFM Records. The album artwork can be seen below:

Check out a new lyric video for 'Poor Little Baroness' below:

[Heavenly Call]

I love this band and absolutely adored the last album. This song is so-so to me, but the album will still be purchase for me.

 

[AngraRULES]

Awful song. Damna doesn't sound as good as usual.

I really wish they would release something on the same level as The Winter Wake again... :\

Two Tradgety Poets was just as good as TWW, but the band just doesn't seem to have the magic anymore, unless this album turns it around. And while I haven't yet listened to the song, I've not heard any good things about it.

I'll give it a listen when I have some time to go through it a few times.

I wish they would have continued in the vein of TTP. My second fave disc after Heathenreel.

 

[nailz]

Heathenreel, TTP, and The Winter Wake were albums I really love. I like The Sycthe. I flat out do not like WYRD or Red Silent Tides. Era is really going to make or break how I feel going forward on this band.

after that last mess of an album I am also on the fence with this band. Loved them from the get-go and pushed them like no ones business. Now they have turned super generic and seem to not be able to write any catchy material anymore. I think I am going to need to hear many samples of this album before I buy it. Too bad...they were one of my favorite bands for a long time.

The last one was completely forgettable, and the one before that wasn't very impressive either. Heathenreel is a total classic though, and Wyrd, Winter Wake and the Scythe are really good albums.

Oh, and "The Divided Heart" is one of my favorite power metal songs ever.

 

[chibitotoro]

holy hell that's a bad song

 

[eppst1]

What happened to his voice? Something doesn't sound right about it. Ugh.....

 

[AngraRULES]

For the few who may not "get" who Elvenking is and will probably be judging them based on this new song (mainly n00bs and younglings), I figured I'd post a few of their best songs just cause. Don't want to give them a bad impression with this awful new song...

Wow. You didn't even post Pagan Purity?

Wow, I'm giving people a chance to see that your favorite (former?) favorite band doesn't suck and you're still a dick?

The new album is actually pretty good. Not Heathenreel good, but probably at the Winter Wake/Scythe level. I was pleasantly surprised.

Is it better than their last album? That was a huge disappointment.

Very happy to hear that it's good. I can't wait to hear it!

Every album ever is better than their last one.

Except that last Edguy disc.

Or the last Sonata Arctica album. But who cares, right? They got a shitload of money...

I may give it a chance then. After the last one or so, I had pretty much written them off.

So did I. I went into it with knives sharpened.
