Nov. 3. 2006 Guitarist Aydan of the Italian folk/power metal band ELVENKING has posted the following message on the group's official web site:
"We're ready to enter the studios [to record the fourth ELVENKING album]. On Friday next week we will fly to Germany to Gernhart studios and record the drums with Mr. Superhero himself Martin Buchwalter. Yesterday we have checked once more all drums parts to be sure that everything's working. Zender is hitting as hell and the groove is already there! We will stay in Germany the time necessay to do the drums, then back to Italy we'll have another couple of weeks to work on the last arrangements and lyrics before producer Nino Laurenne of Sonic Pump studios will land from icy Finland to set the basic sounds and the start the other recording session. (other drinking session??)
"What can I tell about the songs? One word: heavy!!! Be ready for the most crushing EK album to date, but with all the melody still there."

NOV 16, 2006 Italian folk/power metal band ELVENKING has introduced a new member to their live lineup. "After the European tour we have decided to fill Jarpen's [recently departed guitarist] place at least on the live side. The guy who's helping us out at the moment is Luca, a friend of ours. Both of us will take our time to see if things work out in every way. In any case from now on, ELVENKING will definitely have two guitarists on stage

Italian metallers Elvenking have some news regarding their upcoming album on their website:
Hello everybody!
It's been a while since the release of our last album "The Scythe", which moved a whirlwind of different reactions on the metal crowd (thing that we love so much ) and is growing as a great success for this band.
Now we'd like to announce that Elvenking are working on a brand new exciting project. The next release from Elvenking will be another great challenge, something that once again will create curiosity: a totally acoustic album.
So no hard riffing and headbanging amount of metallic mayhem this time, but softer, romantic but still strong and emotional rhymes in music. We can consider this as an experiment, something that shows once again how much this band needs everytime new paths to follow and to express itself and its musical ideas.
If someone thinks that this decision may come as a reaction to "The Scythe" album we can say that we are working on this idea since a lot of time and that is also why "The Scythe" contains a lot of heavy material and less folky stuff for example. The concept of that album didn't allow us to use some of the softer and easier melodies we are also used to, and there they will come to life.
The acoustic album will contain a lot of new songs and different approaches to the non-electric side of the band but also some older songs revisited in a totally new version. So be ready for something different, hoping you can appreciate also this side of the bans, that by the way you already know well for episodes like Skywards, On the Morning Dew, Disillusion's Reel, Totentanz, Hobs an' Feathers, Loser's Ball, ...just to name a few.
While we are working on this new project though, we are also songwriting for the next "standard" electric Elvenking album, choosing which ideas can be represented at best in acoustic or heavy form. This just to let you know that we are simultaneously working on the two things so you can consider the acoustic album as an intermezzo before the new Elvenking electric album
We have no release dates ideas for them yet, but in the meantime we'd love to invite you to visit us on stage for the next gigs and to share a beer with us!
May the winds blow fair at your backs!!
- Elvenking
