Elvenking released a first single of their upcoming album.

On April 11, 2025, Italian pagan/folk metal masters Elvenking will release their highly anticipated new album “Reader of the Runes – Luna” via Reaper Entertainment. This album marks the spectacular conclusion to the Reader of the Runes trilogy, immersing listeners in a magical universe filled with mystery, hope, and darkness.
With today’s announcement, Elvenking also reveals the stunning album cover artwork and the full tracklist for Reader of the Runes – Luna.

“We are incredibly proud of how this trilogy comes to an epic conclusion,” explains guitarist Aydan. “Luna combines the medieval aura of Divination with the dark threat of Rapture. In this final chapter, everything is revealed—the identity of the Rune Reader and the connections between all the characters.”

Lead vocalist Damna adds: “It’s been a long journey, starting back in 2018, and now we bring the story to its peak. The music in Luna is mysterious, melancholic, but also incredibly epic. We’re proud to have created a work that offers fans the conclusion they deserve.”
With Reader of the Runes – Luna, Elvenking once again proves their mastery in storytelling and creating musical worlds that transport the listener to another dimension.

The first single from the album, “Throes of Atonement”, was released on November 29 and had its exclusive radio premiere on Rock Antenne. Lead vocalist Damna describes the song as “flaming and uplifting—a perfect introduction to the final stage of our epic saga.”
