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.”

With „Throes of Atonement,“ Elvenking once again showcase their mastery in storytelling, blending epic melodies with profound themes. The single is now available on all streaming platforms.

2025 will bring ELVENKING to stages all across Europe when they join forces with Alestorm, Ensiferum, Tyr and Heidevolk to resurrect the legendary Paganfest trek. Be there or be square!
