On April 28th, 2023, Elvenking will continue their quest with Reader Of The Runes - Rapture, the sequel to our 2019 record Reader Of The Runes - Divination. The new effort was written between 2020 and 2022, and recorded between May and October 2022 by the band and producer Scott Atkins who also took over mixing and mastering duties. Cover artwork created by Zsofia Dankova. For a preview you give a spin to the first single - the album's opening track called "Rapture".




Elvenking commented: "After three years of absence, we decided to give our fans a taste of the album that could be as plenty as possible. "Rapture" is one of the longest tracks of the lot and we feel it has all the epicness, the tragic nature and most of the nuances that the album incorporates in its entire length, so this is what we wanted to offer to our listeners as a first glimpse of Reader Of The Runes - Rapture. Also, lyrically it is the perfect link between the previous chapter and this one, as it is the Introduction. The story opens on the Reader of the Runes himself and we read about his mindset and plans before the climax that will be described in the rest of the songs."
