Known for their rich fund of musical influences, Swedish metal band ELEINE take fans into epic yet stripped down soundscapes with the symphonic version of their track ‘Promise Of Apocalypse.’ Wavering around Madeleine Liljestam’s stunning vocal performance, it’s strings and brass instead of bass, guitars and drums for a change building the foundation of the second single from the group’s anticipated new 5-track EP “We Stand United” (September 5, 2025 via RPM).

This new version additionally magnifies the core message of ‘Promise Of Apocalypse,’ which focusses on hope and renewal, and is strong anchor for those who seem to be lost in challenging situations for both body and mind.

Madeleine (vocals) & Rikard (guitar/vocals) recall the driving idea behind the song: “‘Promise Of Apocalypse’ was embraced by many fans and it was obvious to us that it deserved a beautiful symphonic version. When going through difficult times, including depression or maybe a rough temporary path – it’s easy to feel that you lost track of life and time. The message behind this song rings true; If you’re not happy where you are in life, it’s time to make a change. It’s maybe not obvious what you have to do – but a change has to be made for yourself!”

ELEINE Announce New EP “We Stand United” + Reveal ‘Never Forget (Live at Masters of Rock 2024)’ Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 14, 2025

There must be an undying source of inspiration, creativity and endurance where Swedish metal institution ELEINE originate from. How else would you explain non-stop touring – including their 2024/2025 debut headline run – and releasing four full-length albums, two electric and even an acoustic EP since their foundation in 2014? While they’re working on studio album no. 5, ELEINE didn’t want to let their fellowship wait even longer and therefore announce the release of a brand new EP today. Rewarding those without the band wouldn’t be what it is today – their endlessly supportive fan base – the Swedish outfit will put out “We Stand United” on September 5, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music, concurring with the first date of the “Domination” European tour which will see ELEINE enter the stages as special guests to German metal commandos PRIMAL FEAR.

The EP will comprise five tracks, featuring two unheard pieces: an intro called ‘Towards The Fields’ as well as its title song, a future live favourite cementing the massive bonding between both band and fans, which makes the limited CD and vinyl versions of “We Stand United” a must-add to every ELEINE collection.

Track Listing:

Towards The Fields (Intro)
We Stand United
Never Forget [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]
We Are Legion [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]
Promise Of Apocalypse [Symphonic Version]

Pre-order/pre-save the EP now, here: https://eleine.rpm.link/westandunitedPR

The self-produced offering was recorded at Studio Bohus in Kungälv, Sweden before ELEINE handed the new material to trusted mixing/mastering engineer Thomas “Plec” Johansson (The Panic Room Studio). Finally layouted by Madeleine, the EP’s artwork was crafted by the band’s long-time partner Nestor Avalos alongside the front-woman.

Despite delivering brand new music, an unknown live recording is leading the way to the release of “We Stand United,” which once again refers to the special connection between ELEINE and their supporters.

Original members Madeleine Liljestam (vocals) and Rikard Ekberg (guitars, vocals) state: “To introduce you to our upcoming EP we chose this one live track as the first single. We feel it represents us and presents ELEINE in a setting we love and one we do very well: PERFORMING LIVE! This is ‘Never Forget’ live from Masters of Rock 2024 in the Czech Republic, and although we had just slept 1-2 hours, scorching hot sun and 50°C (122°F) on stage – we had a great show with an amazing crowd at one of the best festivals out there. We are also rising from a rough start of 2025, and we are reclaiming our lives that truly felt like under the darkest of skies. The scars are present, but ELEINE is and will always remain – alongside with our dedicated and loyal fans!”

To celebrate their first European headline tour which started with a sold-out show on October 3 in Leipzig, Germany, Swedish metal band ELEINE unveil the official video for ‘Never Forget.’ The song is taken from their acclaimed fourth studio album “We Shall Remain” (2023).

“After the latest album “We Shall Remain” was released and we have been touring, it became clear to us that we wanted a proper music video for the song ‘Never Forget’ that is a powerhouse itself. We are celebrating 10 years as a band this year, and we have just started our first own headliner tour that is going better than our expectations – so why not celebrate this with an epic music video in the spirit of ELEINE? We hope our fans enjoy it and feel the empowerment we want to bring with this song!” comment frontwoman Madeleine Liljestam and guitarist/vocalist Rikard Ekberg.

Ignea will be playing in support of their latest album Dreams of Lands Unseen which was released on April 28 via Napalm Records. The album can be streamed here and is still available in physical format here.

Ignea is a Ukrainian melodic metal band that mixes heavy riffs with symphonic, electronic, and folk elements, creating a powerful OST-like experience. Every release is backed by heavy story-telling, making their art more than just music.

In the beginning of their career, Ignea was the first Ukrainian metal band to release an original song with the full symphonic orchestra ‘Alga’, a hymn named after the battle cry of Crimean Tatars who are defending their land, released after the Crimea annexation. The video for the song now counts nearly 10 million views.

According to the national awards The Best Ukrainian Metal Act, the band’s second album The Realms of Fire and Death has been selected as the metal album of the year and Ignea has been named the best Ukrainian metal band of 2020. This album has been fully funded by the band’s patrons at the Patreon platform.

After touring Europe several times, and releasing 2 LPs and 2 EPs independently, Ignea won quite a big support from fans from all over the world and ended up signing with one of the biggest metal labels, Napalm Records.

Despite the full-scale war, the band managed to release a full-length album in 2023 dedicated to the Ukrainian travel writer and photographer Sofia Yablonska, play multiple charity shows in Ukraine, and embark on a EU/UK tour with the legendary Fear Factory, playing 43 shows within 2 months.

Ignea also proudly serves as cultural ambassadors for Ukraine, diligently raising awareness about the country’s ongoing situation among their international fanbase. Their recent performance at ESNS, Europe’s biggest showcase festival, further solidifies their status, alongside appearances at Wacken, Summer Breeze, Bloodstock, Leyendas del Rock, and selected club shows this summer as they lend their support to the esteemed Cradle of Filth and Epica.

Ignea are:
Helle Bohdanova — vocals
Yevhenii Zhytniuk — keyboards
Oleksandr Kamyshin — bass
Ivan Kholmohorov — drums
Dmytro Vinnichenko — guitars

ELEINE Unveil Official ‘Through The Mist’ Visualizer Video & Digital 2-Track Single Incl. Instrumental Version

Posted by metalshockfinland on July 28, 2024

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ELEINE. Leave a comment

In eager anticipation of their forthcoming “We Shall Remain” European headline tour starting on October 3, Swedish symphonic dark metal stalwarts ELEINE have delighted their legion with a new digital 2-track single today: ‘Through The Mist’ (incl. its instrumental version) is now available on all streaming platforms! Listen here: https://eleine.rpm.link/ttmPR

The song opens with punchy riffs and drums, featuring guitarist Rikard Ekberg‘s rarely heard clean vocals, which then transition into his signature growling. Madeleine Liljestam takes over the lead, delivering a highly redeeming chorus that aims to bring hope to those struggling.

“Then we prepare us for the fall”

“Sometimes you know you won’t win a battle. But just because you lost the battle, doesn’t mean you lost the war. ‘Through The Mist’ dives into the moments in the midst of battles, physically or mentally, where you may realize that you won’t win this particular battle. Despite this, you push through for the sake of yourself and those around you, fighting until the very end. ‘United we stand’ is often mentioned from ELEINE for a reason. The bond between us as a band and our fans is strong and it will always be a two-way street where we remind each other to continue to fight side by side. The song contains a part that is directly pointed towards our fans and how proud we are of everyone out there that continues to fight daily,” conclude Madeleine and Rikard.

“As one we try to rise again, raising our faces towards the sun
Tasting our blood – I am proud of us all”
