For crying out loud people, not all vocals are pop-ready and streamlined, yeah? One of the reasons I like Elvenking so much is that the vocalist is ready to experiment, and has a unique voice. Have you really nothing better to do than write immature comments on youtube videos?
I would like to say i just love the raw power behind Elvenking. I find myself losing control of myself while listening. I love this band. I would love to see them in colorado
I remember discovering elvenking on youtube a few months ago,. I think they totally rock, so it was kind of a dissapointment when i found out they played a live show 2 or 3 miles from where i live a week before. I hope they will come back:)
One of my top three albums this year. I was skeptical when I kept seeing this album get such good reviews before it came out. When I finally got my hands on it, I quickly understood why it was getting as much praise as it was. Excellent album and a great song to start it with.
I think that Damna's voice is awesome. It is not fake as many singers have in live concerts. Damna and Aydan are the core members of Elvenking, without them it would not be the same band; whoever says that Winter Wake, Heathenreel and even Era are not great albums just because of the vocals obviously can't appreciate their unique style.
This, this is why I love Elvenking. This new album is fucking awesome: the right amount of heavy and "folkyness" and I will die happy when I finally get to see this band live :D
I have faith in Elvenking, that they will start going back to their old ways... but even if they don't, they are still an amazing band, as well as my favorite band.
Were you dropped as a child? This has it all, Elegance, Style, Badassery, it's a pity there are so many peasants on youtube with a poor appreciation for great music.
O Perdedor Você não quer ver o outro lado de mim Não quer se envolver na minha própria situação Você não acreditaria no que veria Porque você acha que sou apenas um perdedor, bastardo louco Eu não quero fugir - Eu só quero que você se afaste Sozinho, sozinho, sozinho, sozinho eu ficarei Eu não preciso da sua empatia, da sua inveja ou do seu ciúme Você sempre, sempre será um passo para trás de mim Eu me sinto vivo porque sou um perdedor hoje e assim serei amanhã Eu me sinto insano, mas essa é minha natureza e nunca mudarei para o seu "melhor" Como numa liquidação, você vê uma exibição de corações São todos iguais e todos parecem apodrecidos A nova coleção oferece o melhor que você pode obter: O meu coração que bate ao ritmo desta música triste Eu nunca fugirei - Eu só quero que você se afaste Sozinho, sozinho, sozinho, sozinho eu ficarei Não acha que pode provocar o gigante sem ser varrido Você sempre, sempre será um passo para trás de mim Eu me sinto vivo porque sou um perdedor hoje e assim serei amanhã Eu me sinto insano, mas essa é minha natureza e nunca mudarei para o seu "melhor" Atrás do véu há um lunático com suas emoções desafinadas A loucura me salvou de todas as suas mentiras medianas - mentiras medianas Nunca. O nunca. Nada morrerá. O riacho flui, o vento sopra, A nuvem passa e o coração bate. Nada morrerá Eu me sinto vivo porque sou um perdedor hoje e assim serei amanhã Eu me sinto insano, mas essa é minha natureza e nunca mudarei para o seu "melhor" Atrás do véu há um lunático com suas emoções desafinadas A loucura me salvou de todas as suas mentiras medianas - mentiras medianas
and what is REALLY funny is, what Elvenking wants to play... we want them to play. So no matter what, both sides are happy... it's a win/win situation :D
Dont know why ppl are complaining about the singer. I think his voice sounds bad ass. Its kinda got a raspy tone to it, same reason why I love gamma ray. I think he sounds alot better then most cookie cutter power metal singers.
I think we should be glad that Elvenking is trying different things with every album (hearthenreel and wyrd weren't that different, but that's because Jarpen still wanted to do that kind of music), Elvenking is always going to be one of those bands that rarely becomes stale. Also, Elvenking tries to do what fans want as much as possible (without compromising their artistic vision) so we should all be happy... right?
ARRRIVA ELVENKING ¨¨¨¨................... YAAAAAAAAAAAJUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU COMO AMO ESTA BANDAAAAAAA BRAVOOOO LOS ADOROOOOOO DESDE PERU LOS ADOROOOOOOOO
1) Runereader 2) Neverending Nights 3) White Willow 4) A Riddle of Stars 5)The Loser All Elvenking songs are amazing, but these are my top five favorites (had to include almost every album, as they are all amazing)
They have gone donhill since Winter Wake....First time listening to them since that album came out and I see what people are saying metalcore...ish sound now whilst trying to hold on to their folk influence...
This song is amazing. Everything I've listened to from ERA so far has been gold. Sadly I see a lot of complaints. If you don't want to listen to an ever-evolving band, go listen to a band whose songs sound exactly the same (i.e. Dragonforce), and stay away from good music such as EK. We don't need your taint. LONG LIVE ELVENKING!!!
There's a channel here called Lost in Vegas that does music reactions, and they are pretty new to the genres of metal, only a year or so deep, I think. They haven't reacted to Elvenking yet, and I think this would be good for their first song. If you agree, you should head over to their channel and request it, since they only react to songs by request. (Edit for spelling)
I like this thing. Damnas voice kinda startled me, because it probably sounds pop-ish, and pop bands keep singing bout stuff like love. relationships and shawt like that (i like some love songs, but seriously, some pop bands write every single song about the same thing and same theme). I hope this is the only one song from album where i heard "she and me" (and Poor Little Baroness, that song is awesome), but i love this album.
One day, maybe, people will actually realize that Elvenking tries to do something new on every album, and that wishing for 'the way it was' is useless. They'll do their own thing. It's just how Elvenking is. So enjoy the ride or get left behind, either way Elvenking moves on.
