This 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.
"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."
