#I do think Solarcycles qualifies #Dutch symphonic folk metal band #saw them as opener for Blackbriar twice now and I am planning to go to other shows with them #Cân Bardd also qualifies I think though they have more monthly listeners on Spotify #they are folky atmospheric black metal #Uses both harsh and clean vocals to great effect #very synthy but also super folky #They also released an acoustic version of one of their songs a bit ago #So definitely check out Devoured by the Oak Pt.1 acoustic

Hello Elvenking guy popping in again to announce that the new EP officially released last Friday! It is 3 originals slightly connected to the trilogy and 4 covers of bands important to them.

I have been listening to it a lot to put it lightly, anyways happy release of Rites of Disclosure.

oh, sweet! will give that a listen.

#also the physical editions have 4 tracks more than the digital ones #< true but also all of those songs aren't new #Thet were released inbetween the trilogy either to give more context to the story #Or to just give more content to the fans while they waited for the next chapter in the trilogy

ok i would like to clarify it has to be music and it can't just be a short song that's been looped a bunch. that still counts as several songs in one file, it's just several of the same song in one file. no audiobooks no podcasts no plants vs zombies theme 2 hour loop

#I Have Little To No Memories Of These Memories by Toehider #is the longest song I know #it is 45 mins #and it is it's own album XD #Progressive metal yippie :D

#What a coincidence that this cover of Children of Decadence happens to be playing in my ears right now #Yes this was also my submission because I love Elvenking #This cover is pretty faithful to the original #but some synth parts have been replaced by a violin instead XD #Anyways I can give a little backstory for this one #Elvenking has been signed to Reaper Entertainment before they released Luna #Reaper put together a Children of Bodom tribute album #with a whole lot of bands signed under them submitting one cover for it #Elvenking chose Children of Decadence and this was also a single for the tribute album #as well as being a single for their new EP Rites of Disclosure #which is composed of 3 original songs and 4 covers #Really sad that it released after submissions closed down #I would have LOVED to submit Man of Iron from Rites

#ELVENKING YEAAAHHHH #not my favourite Elvenking cover but certainly a classic #still very out of place on Two Tragedy Poets #To clarify for the non Elvenking fans that is an acoustic album while the cover decidedly is not acoustic

if you're in the top .01% of an artist's lsisteners on spotify they should come to your house and make sweet love to you

#Last year you got to see your actual place amongst the global listeners #I am the number 1 for Elvenking #I think about that a lot haha

I'm at one of those stupid places (NL) where the sea was before 2013. The only place (or job) that takes you closer is directly working on a ship, lol
