Elvenking was formed in October 1997 by two guitarist friends, Aydan and Jarpen, both sharing a passion for metal music and folklore.The primary goal of Elvenking is to create a fusion of power metal and folk music.Damnagoras performed both lead vocals and bass for the recording and subsequent concerts as Sargon previously left the band.The demo was successful enough to allow Elvenking to sign a contract with German label AFM Records..Soon after, Gorlan, a friend of Aydan and Jarpen, fully joined as a bassist; before he appeared as a session player.The cover artwork was created by Travis Smith and the band logo was designed by J.Fournier, who also designed covers for Avantasia and Immortal (band).Elvenking then toured around Europe at festivals with better known bands like Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray, Edguy and Virgin Steele.Elvenking then recruited a new vocalist, Kleid, who revitalized the spirit of folk music within the band.Elyghen, a violinist and keyboard player, joined soon after.In late 2004 Damnagoras returned, taking the place of Kleid, and Elvenking began working on their third album, The Winter Wake.On February 4, 2005, Founding Guitarist Jarpen Left Elvenking.Aydan commented:
"Jarpen didn't feel comfortable playing Elvenking's music anymore having lost passion in this kind of stuff.It's a really sad thing because Jarpen was one of the founding members and we have created all this from the beginning together, but on the other hand being friends before musicians we know that this is what Jarpen wanted and we totally respect his decision.We will miss you, friend!"Influences
Elvenking has declared itself to be a band highly influenced by folk music and dances from all over the world, but also from all the metal scene.Amongst the most influential bands on Elvenking's style is Skyclad.External links

Many years ago, I was just a child
"Boy, go and grow as an honest man
Look on what you've done with pride!"If you have time send a message
To every form of human life
"Hey out there if someone listens
This way we won't survive!""Thou will shall be done!"If you can't express what you feel within
Remember not only words can speak
If a pen killed more than sword
Let this tune be your own word!Raise your voice
Aim as high as they can't see
Now you can say:
"Speak your last word,
speak your last word!"Shattered we are
Sold and bought in the Merchants' fair
Beneath hard flesh it burns
Beware of our hate!"What's this fighting for?"Pagan traditions of forgotten missions,
the signs are clear!Reunifying with air and soil I am part of
Distant yet so close!Reunifying with air and soil I am part of
Distant yet so close!Nearby the circus this time I won't pass!Where all the fears and indifference lie
A warm place to drown
your own need to find
The questions that bury your mind
You won't find the answers to Life
(this way)
Now turn your head, step back from the
jesters, run!Cursed (cursed), cursed (cursed)
I sharpen all my sleeping senses
Encircle my own wish
I'll never die!Cursed (cursed), cursed (cursed)
On the stroke of my halfhour
The token has been shown
Eternal wearing the Red Death masque!It's the fatal falling,
on the path we choose
We're searching for answers
that never appear
We're searching for lands beyond
all limits, we're falling!All lyrics are the property and copyright of their owners.All lyrics provided for educational purposes only.Pouer metal baund frae Italy.Biographie
