Elettra Storm has released “Ride The Rainbow”, second single taken from the new album “Evertale” to be released on October 24 by Scarlet Records.
This dreamy mid-tempo shows the most introspective and emotional side of Elettra Stom. The piano intro, the moody verse, the haunting hook and the heartbreaking solo could remind the listener the times when metal singles aired on MTV in prime time. It’s a song about the dreams of a father, how his life changed, and all the challenges he’ll have to face and the joys he’s going to taste in raising a son. They’ll share fantasies and games, hopes and fears, with only the sky as the limit.

Elettra Storm took the power metal scene by… storm with the flawless 2024’s debut album “Powerlords”. Now they made a huge step forward, though, and the sound of “Evertale” is even more defined and cohesive.
Every band’s member had the chance to get the spotlight with his own style and personality, and the songs are more technical: some carry a proggy flavor, some other bring on the table the fury of speed power metal – but all of them are direct and catchy at the same time, with soaring melodies that will linger in the brain since the first spin and another stellar performance by charismatic frontwoman Crystal Emiliani.
Lyrically-wise, “Evertale” is a chest of wonders – like Micheal Ende’s “Neverending Story”, this record is a thrilling celebration of storytelling: each song tells its own story indeed, and the listener will find the drama of war, the desire for revenge, the journey of a hero, the mysteries of the ancient ones and much more.
