Nuevo EP de ELVENKINGElvenking anuncia el lanzamiento de, "Rites Of Disclosure", el epílogo de la era "Reader of the Runes". Este álbum fue concebido como un complemento y cierre de la trilogía, por lo que no se trata de un álbum tradicional, sino de una colección especial que reúne los sencillos independientes grabados entre los capítulos de la trilogía, dos composiciones completamente nuevas: "Blizzards of Anger" y "Rite of Passage", y una selección de versiones homenaje a influencias de la banda como Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Venom, Skcylad, Bathory y Children of Bodom.
"Nos encontramos en una encrucijada al despedirnos definitivamente del Lector de las Runas y de una historia que nos ha cautivado en cuerpo y alma durante casi diez años. Estamos listos para dejarlo ir y poner un pie en nuevas tierras, manteniendo la bandera de nuestro pasado en alto, un pasado que seguiremos honrando, respetando y celebrando en el futuro cercano. Hasta entonces... que los vientos soplen a su favor."
"Rites Of Disclosure" se lanzará el 22 de mayo de 2026 a través de Reaper Entertainment.
El primer sencillo del EP es la nueva canción inédita "The Past Is Forever", que se lanzará el 6 de marzo de 2025.

Dear Elvenlegions, today we are thrilled to announce the release of a special album "Rites Of Disclosure", the ceremonial epilogue to the Reader of the Runes era. This was conceived as a companion and closing act to the trilogy, so it isn't a traditional full-length album, but a special collection that gathers the standalone singles recorded between the trilogy chapters, two brand-new compositions – "Blizzards of Anger" and "Rite of Passage" – and a selection of cover versions with which we honour our roots and pay tribute to legendary influences such as Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Venom, Skcylad, Bathory and Children of Bodom.
We are at the crossroads now as we bid our final farewell to the Reader of the Runes and to a story that has captivated us —body and soul— for almost ten years. We’re ready now to let it go and set foot on new shores, while keeping the flag of our past flying high —a past we will continue to honour, respect, and celebrate in the near future. 'Till then...may the winds blow fair at your back.
"Rites Of Disclosure" will be released on May 22nd, 2026 via Reaper Entertainment.
The first single taken from the EP is the new, previously unreleased song "The Past Is Forever", which will be released on March 6th, 2025.
