Elvenking UK Tour

Elvenking have been producing metal out of Italy since 1997 and have some what of a cult fan base in mainland Europe, which is more rapidly spreading to the UK. They have previously played at Metalfest and Bloodstock Festival where they performed with ex-Skyclad singer Martin Walkyier. This month they will once more join with Walkyier for 4 exclusive shows, entitled The Viking Funeral Tour.

These shows will be taking place in two different formats, one being Elvenking's set where they will play stuff from their Era album and possibly a few new tracks from the album they are currently recording and the second as the backing band for Walkyier as he performs his take on Skyclad material, which has appropriately been called Martin Walkyier Goes Skyclad.

“I consider this new album to be the closest to the original conceptual idea of the band we’ve yet done. When we founded Elvenking, our idea was to mix up strong epic and intense music with influences from folklore and with lyrics based on our personal idea of life and what we consider as a personal sort of paganism. Through the years, we moved steps away from our original path in search of new stimuli and ways to express ourselves as songwriters, but now we want to carve the name Elvenking firmly into our music and define exactly where the origins of our band are. We are really looking forward to these shows, because it will be really special to see how people react to Elvenking in the UK today…” - Aydan (guitars)
