Elvenking release new song ‘The Hanging Tree’

ELVENKING have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Hanging Tree, is taken from the Italian power/folk metal band’s upcoming new album, Reader Of The Runes – Rapture, which is scheduled to be released in April this year.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, “The Hanging Tree is a song that sets a violent darker tone as we dive deep into the core of the story narrated in the second part of the Reader of the Runes trilogy. If Rapture was more epic, slow paced and filled with many different shades and textures, The Hanging Tree is a merciless fast cavalcade that goes straight to the point with a heavy fast riffing, melodic yet aggressive vocals, big choirs in the chorus, two insane guitar solos and a folk break in the middle that our dear EK fans will definitely love. It will surely be a highlight in our forthcoming live shows.”

Reader Of The Runes – Rapture is set for release on April 28th via AFM Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
