💿 New single “THE PAST IS FOREVER” out March, 6th!
🎥 Video premiere: tomorrow, March 5th, 19.00 CET

“The Past is Forever” was written during the writing sessions of Rapture/Luna and was meant to be released as a final single (and so it will on Friday) and was our way to express the feelings of lightheartedness that distinguished the good times when the characters of the “Reader of the Runes” trilogy were still children and lived in harmony, before the thoughts of self-assertion came in. This feels like an unconscious Freudian slip if we look at our band’s history, accompanied by what’s musically the closest thing to the “folk metal side” of our very early compositions”

Damna’s words to introduce the new song that will guide you to the end of the Reader of the Runes epic saga in the final collection “Rites of Disclosure”. 

“Rites of Disclosure” EP will be released on May, 22nd and will be officially available for pre-order on this Friday at our shop at @reaperentertainment .

Dear Elvenlegions, today we are thrilled to announce the release of a special album “Rites Of Disclosure”, the ceremonial epilogue to the Reader of the Runes era. This was conceived as a companion and closing act to the trilogy, so it isn’t a traditional full-length album, but a special collection that gathers the standalone singles recorded between the trilogy chapters, two brand-new compositions – “Blizzards of Anger” and “Rite of Passage” – and a selection of cover versions with which we honour our roots and pay tribute to legendary influences such as Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Venom, Skcylad, Bathory and Children of Bodom. 

We are at the crossroads now as we bid our final farewell to the Reader of the Runes and to a story that has captivated us —body and soul— for almost ten years. We’re ready now to let it go and set foot on new shores, while keeping the flag of our past flying high —a past we will continue to honour, respect, and celebrate in the near future. ‘Till then...may the winds blow fair at your back.

“Rites Of Disclosure” will be released on May 22nd, 2026 via Reaper Entertainment. 
The first single taken from the EP is the new, previously unreleased song “The Past Is Forever”, which will be released on March 6th, 2025.
