Bio:
Bombastic Symphonic Metal made in Germany: Elvellon are about to take the world by storm!From its inception in 2010 on the quintet has stirred up the scene and has enthralled both its growing fan base as well as the music press with a captivating blend of catching guitars, thunderous drums and magnificent orchestration. As a result, renowned national magazines such as Orkus and Sonic Seducer took notice of the highly promising youngsters early on, while German Metal Hammer magazine even dubbed them “heroes of tomorrow”. Through their first online singles `Oraculum´ (2013) and `Born From Hope´ (2015) – which was accompanied by a masterfully crafted video clip by Mirko Witzki (Any Given Day, Caliban, Deadlock) that almost reached one million views on YouTube within the first year – the band proved that all premature praise had been well-deserved. The 2015 release of their self-produced 5-track EP “Spellbound” marked the first milestone of their career that sent critics from all over Europe into rapture. Live on stage, the synergy of Elvellon's powerfully performed soundscapes and vocalist Nele's angelic voice always strikes home, too, with the result of a variety of celebrated festival gigs over the recent past, including a show at prestigious German M'era Luna Festival.Now that the first deal with the aspiring label Reaper Entertainment is inked, the course for Elvellon's conquest is set. Symphonic metal aficionados: Brace yourselves for the definite debut album of the year!
Album:
It's no longer a secret that Symphonic Metal, celebrated so many years ago, has passed the pinnacle of its existence. Promising debutants could not be spotted for half an eternity. Instead, the music genre produces discreet, dripping gossip, which adapts to the taste of NIGHTWISH or WITHIN TEMPTATION, while casting bands like BEYOND THE BLACK squeeze the genre's last commercial potential like an overripe lemon. However, the emotional depth of the aforementioned Finns of NIGHTWISH or the conceptual brilliance of EPICAs have been unrivaled for years.But now - how could it be otherwise with such an introduction? - there is again a small glimmer of hope for the dying genre. Namely in the form of the German band ELVELLON, which has since 2010 earned a good reputation in the domestic metal scene of contemplative Moers on the Lower Rhine. However, the young Germans have not yet been able to overcome the status as an insider tip, even though their debut EP "Spellbound" has already been acknowledged by critics with an eulogistic praise: After a successful crowdfunding campaign, the Niedersachsen start their first long groove "Until Dawn "A new attempt. And one who has it all.Because ELVELLON makes it easy for a reviewer to get into raptures. As a matter of course, the formation makes use of the well-known elements of the genre and haunts Symphonic Metal disciples with the epic opener "Oraculum" or the anthematic band classic "Born From Hope" over and over again chills of excitement over the body. But at the same time "Until Dawn" is so much more than just another album with a female singer.ELVELLON have created a unique sound by combining known and new elements that is never too bad for experimentation. While "Dreamcatcher" comes up with a violent breakdown, the "King Of Thieves" takes you deep into the Orient. Meanwhile, the impulsive single release "The Puppeteer" provides for rotating heads and finally comes to the emotional-laden acoustic ballad "Shore To Aeon" with such a brilliant arc that one wishes that "Until Dawn" may never end.Heart and passion...At the same time, the passion and passion of the musicians can be felt at any time. Unbelievably detail-loving, each circulation opens up a whole new world of small details. Last but not least, the successful production also plays its part in allowing songs like "Fallen Into A Dream" to really unfold their wide-ranging palette of emotions, and the fact that "Until Dawn" never gets lost in kitsch is just as high count as the variable songwriting.ELVELLON set an example with "Until Dawn." An example of multifaceted richness, fantastic songwriting, and emotional depth that is unparalleled in symphonic metal.What the Niedersachsen show on their debut album is more than just impressive: it thrills, tears the listener from the first to the last note, breathing life into the dead next to a genre believed to be dead. "Until Dawn" earns the highest rating for its breathtaking suspense and great performance on all instruments, and for everyone, really every fan of well-made music recommended. No, not BEYOND THE BLACK, but ELVELLON will teach NIGHTWISH to fear.
