Drums recorded in E-Sound Studio's All other recordings in Luidheim studio in the Wenummermarke. Mixing and final editing by Markus Kalthallen (Ash Of Ashes, Hell)
*Gust of the Wall Perné had pledged his heart to the Veluwe and Nordic mythology like Alvenrad. This is expressed in his famous "Veluwsche Sagen".

Official Facebook statement: "New album is dedicated to Veluws nature, history and folklore.

"Referring to the iron mined in this region for centuries, they forged their most powerful work to date. Alvenrad takes the listener through endless heath and through lonely forests in the heart of Veluwe. Thus, this album offers a balanced variety of varied exalted clear singing and grimly screaming singing in freely-fighted metal compositions, which are secretly complemented by orchestrations and folk music. The album comes with an array of paintings and screenprints by Gust van de Wall Perné (1877 - 1911).

"Fighting free as the band is, with property and heritage high at stake, they still go their own way; such are narratives of the medieval iron industry, the furious grounds, the deer source, the kingdom of sages, the struggle for existence and the history of mythical origin. They are still going on untracked paths; this is how they use the German style in the song lyrics, the Veluw regional language in certain passages and folk music from the Low Countries. They also reached out to the residents of Veluwse themselves, for a helping hand and stories."

Updates:
Alvenrad is currently recording a semi-acoustic version of their song 'Sagenrijk'. Primarily an ode to the late Veluwan artist Gust van de Wall Perné, Sagenrijk is a musical expression in the spirit of his renowned collection 'Veluwsche Sagen'. On December 27, the anniversary of the artist's death, this song will be released in his honour. 'Sagenrijk' also serves as an invitation to tell each other inspiring stories in dark days.
