Acabo de conectarme al myspace de Elvenking y me tope esto:

New acoustic album!


A message from the band about present and future projects:

"Hello everybody!

It's been a while since the release of our last album "The Scythe", which moved a whirlwind of different reactions on the metal crowd (thing that we love so much ) and is growing as a great success for this band.

Now we'd like to announce that Elvenking are working on a brand new exciting project. The next release from EK will be another great challenge, something that once again will create curiosity: a totally acoustic album.

So no hard riffing and headbanging amount of metallic mayhem this time, but softer, romantic but still strong and emotional rhymes in music. We can consider this as an experiment, something that shows once again how much this band needs everytime new paths to follow and to express itself and its musical ideas.

If someone thinks that this decision may come as a reaction to "The Scythe" album we can say that we are working on this idea since a lot of time and that is also why "The Scythe" contains a lot of heavy material and less folky stuff for example. The concept of that album didn't allow us to use some of the softer and easier melodies we are also used to, and there they will come to life.

The acoustic album will contain a lot of new songs and different approaches to the non-electric side of the band but also some older songs revisited in a totally new version. So be ready for something different, hoping you can appreciate also this side of the bans, that by the way you already know well for episodes like Skywards, On the Morning Dew, Disillusion's Reel, Totentanz, Hobs an' Feathers, Loser's Ball, ...just to name a few.

While we are working on this new project though, we are also songwriting for the next "standard" electric Elvenking album, choosing which ideas can be represented at best in acoustic or heavy form. This just to let you know that we are simultaneously working on the two things so you can consider the acoustic album as an intermezzo before the new Elvenking electric album


We have no release dates ideas for them yet, but in the meantime we'd love to invite you to visit us on stage for the next gigs and to share a beer with us!

May the winds blow fair at your backs!!

- ELVENKING"

Acústico?? Siii me encanta todo lo que sea acústico!! Lo espero con ganas ^^

Más sobre el álbum acustico, noticia colgada en su myspace el día 23, lo acabo de ver xD

Since the announcement of our new acoustic album, we have received an incredible amount of messages and we've seen a lot of different reactions on the net. We have decided to write a few lines in order to clarify what this acoustic album will be and what it will NOT be. Some of the messages we've received ask if this is going to be only a collection of old re-recorded material, if it's going to be an EP, if it will contain this or that, so we have to clear a little bit this confusion.

- First of all, we've been having the idea of making an acoustic album for a long time and over the years it has been one of the most requested things by our fans. "The Scythe" has been criticized by many but it is our most successful album to date and the overwhelming reaction of the people at our concerts and the increased number of copies sold are just confirming that we made a great album and a lot of people enjoyed it. So this goes to all the ones who think we are making this acoustic project because we failed with "The Scythe" or because we are going back to our folk roots after the critics: you are way far from the truth!!

- This will be an acoustic album but it doesn't mean it will be a folk album exclusively! Of course here we have the possibility to explore our folk influences more than ever (especially in the arrangements – probably using also some typical folk instruments) but this album will be as various as any other EK work. We will go through different styles and moods so of course you can expect a lot of folk tunes but also all the other features that make Elvenking a unique band.

- This is going to be a full length album – NOT an EP!! - and it'll contain mostly new songs as if they were written for a new normal album. So no fillers, no recycled stuff; all the new material is being written in order to form the new songs of the new EK album – even if this time it'll be acoustic, it will be done with all the enthusiasm and the inspiration that always push Elvenking when it comes to songwrite and rehearse new material…and we can already tell you that this release will contain some real great songs for sure!. As usual it's gonna be different from the previous ones and it will be closer to our acoustic, melodic and romantic side.

- As a gift to our fans, together with the new material we will re-arrange and re-record some songs coming from our previous works and maybe some other little surprises but still we have to decide most things about this section of the disc which will be in any case the smallest part!

- Before embarking on this project we already started to work on the follower of "The Scythe". The acoustic album will put this work to a temporary stand-by, but as soon as we have closed the recordings, we will start working hard on the new 'electric' album since we have lots of ideas and the first songs we were writing were definitely a blast! The fans will probably have an acoustic album in their hands within the end of this year (this is not confirmed yet, but we are working in order to record the album on time) and a new 'normal album' the following year. We have really a lot of ideas and you'll never get fillers from us! We are very excited about this new material and we wouldn't release anything if we weren't 100% satisfied. So between a gig and another we will work hard and the fans won't regret it!

… and the acoustic album is finally ready! Everything is done. It’s been a hell of a ride, for sure the hardest work was to stay in the deadlines but in the end we reached the goal and we’re here. The mix has been done the last days of July in the lands of Germany with Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart studios, and Achim Koehler gave the final touch with the right mastering at Indiscreet Audio.

In the meantime also photo sessions and work on the cover and layout have been done…have we told you that the thing has been handled once again by Gyula Havancsák as for The winter wake and The scythe covers? So you know what to expect.

By the way everything about the acoustic album, from the title to the tracklist, from the cover to the other details, will be revealed on these pages the first week of September, so be sure to check this place often.
You can expect something unique, that’s for sure! We won’t get tired of saying that this album is an experiment for us, a journey in a world that was waiting to be explored. But we’ll talk more about this when all details will be announced.

On the other hand a good bunch of live dates have been added in the Live section, so check them out. Elvenking will play gigs in USA, Italy, Austria, Germany, Holland this Fall, and we have also announced the first shows for 2009, so we’re gonna wait you under the stage banging your heads!

Me perece Maria que nos vamos a quedar con las ganas, lo que más me ha extrañado es que van a los USA y ahí sí que dudo que alguien tenga puñetera idea de quien son

Pues es verdad...en verdad aquí tampoco tienen tan pocos fans, quizás para un concierto como principales no pero como teloenros se lo podrían currar y venir...

Es una pena.. pero supongo que su discográfica querrá que sean medianamente conocidos en el mercado norteamericano, que es el que mueve más dinero . Mientras tanto, a comernos los mocos...

Mariaaaa!!! ya está la portada del disco y el título (MODE ILUSIÓN ON)

Pues no suena nada mal, no, espero ansioso poder escuchar el disco completo, en especial esa versión de Belinda Carlisle - que suena a partir del minuto 3:47 -. Aquí va el link a la canción original...

Bueno, pues ya se ha filtrado el disco, está disponible ya por los canales habituales, en servidores tipo Rapidshare y demás. Quien quiera el enlace en concreto,que me lo diga y se lo mando por mensaje privado.
