ELVELLON state:
“´The Aftermath Of Life´ is a song that perfectly combines two different sides of Elvellon, which are heavy guitar riffs with dark keyboard sounds and big choruses with catchy melodies. Thematically, it’s about the process that all of us who have made it to this day can accept decay and aging as part of life and make peace with it.”

ELVELLON on “My Forever Endeavour”:
“With ‘My Forever Endeavour’ we are releasing a song that developed in the direction of the classic ELVELLON-style. It deals with the topic of bitter decisions and farewells that we have all had to make. The path of life also includes embracing these moments and taking them with you as part of your journey. Because even if it hurts, they are some of the most important ones. With this mixture of melancholic lyrics and encouraging melodies, it was immediately clear to us that this song should have a special place on Ascending In Synergy.”

ELVELLON state:
“’A Vagabond’s Heart’ is based on a very old idea that goes way back to the early days of ELVELLON. We finally got back to the material during the songwriting for Ascending in Synergy because we knew we had a little treasure there.
Early on, even before the lyrics were written, many people around us saw it as a potential first single. Now, with the final lyrics and the song’s theme of ‘finding yourself’ being so important to the whole album and the album title, we’ve wholeheartedly agreed.”
