Darklore - The Great Elven War Album Launch

Hailing from Brisbane, Australia, blackened fantasy metallers Darklore are set to release their epic second studio album. The Great Elven War is a mighty quest across multiple magical realms that is just under seventy minutes long and includes eight energetic tracks. Musically, this album has elevated Darklore to new heights in terms of composition, content and musicality, in establishment of a sound that is truly their own. A heavy, crushing bass tone accompanies an intensity and aggression from the drums. The power of these elements is lightened by melodic riffing and harmonies from the guitars and an armoury of incredibly beautiful orchestral elements led by powerful war driven blackened death vocals. Darklore have conjured a sound that highlights the triumphs of battle and truly inspires the hearts of warriors and loyal fans, alike.

Thematically, the album takes us on a journey through exciting realms within the fantasy genre, from popular games such as Skyrim, The Witcher 3 and Diablo, to books and series/movie adaptations such as The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. The album is dotted with tales of their own creation, including the title track, The Great Elven War. This new offering from some of our favourite armoured bards will make you want to pick up a war drum, wand or enchanted weapon and join the horde. The Great Elven War is an original and compelling ode to those magical places of our dreams and nightmares, and will not disappoint.
