ELVENKING Announces New Session Violin Player

September 25, 2009

Italian folk metallers ELVENKING have announced the addition of session violin player Lethien (pictured below) to the group's ranks. According to the band, "Lethien has been an excellent presence on stage with ELVENKING since March 2009 but he has never been introduced officially. He's gonna take the job on stage and in the rehearsal room until [regular ELVENKING violinist/keyboardist] Elyghen returns definitely to Italy."

Back in September, 2007, ELVENKING explained that Elyghen had temporarily moved to Ireland for working reasons. They emphasized that he wasn't leaving the band and that Eleonora (the girl who had played the violin in the quartet that performed on ELVENKING albums) would help the band out on live dates that Elyghen couldn't be present for.

Upcoming ELVENKING shows:

Oct. 08 - Urban - Perugia, Italy
Oct. 16 - Motorockas - Mozzate, Como, Italy
Dec. 20 - Soundtrack - Arcene, Bergamo, Italy

ELVENKING released an acoustic album, "Two Tragedy Poets (...And A Caravan Of Weird Figures)", in Europe on November 14, 2008 via AFM Records. The CD was issued in digipack and jewel case formats.

ELVENKING's last "electric" album, "The Scythe", was released in Europe in September 2007 via AFM Records.

The band's video for the song "The Divided Heart" can be viewed below. The clip was shot with director Mirco Andreis (ELDRITCH, MACBETH, DISARMONIA MUNDI).

"The Scythe" was mixed at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The mastering took place at Finnvox Studios with Mika Jussila and Nino Laurenne.
