Bio:
Elvenpath stepped into the picture in early 2002, hailing from Frankfurt (Central Germany) with the intention of stretching an overcrowded Metal scene yet a little more. Contrary to the main part of that scene they’d bring something different: heart, soul, passion and damn good songs.Despite everything in their way Elvenpath has persevered since then, releasing four CD’s, playing almost 100 shows, among others sharing the stage with bands like Sabaton,Soulfly,Finntroll,Custard, Majesty, Wizard, Cage and Grailknights, touring Europe twice as support to Skyclad, playing festivals like Dong Open Air (Germany), Metallergrillen (Germany),Taunus Metal Festival (Germany), Up The Hammers (Greece), Rising Fest (France) and gaining themselves a name especially with their very powerful and energetic live show.Elvenpath bears Metal in their hearts which you can easily hear in every single note of their music. If you favour trends, triviality or undemanding music, this isn’t your place. But if you’re into high quality Power Metal you’ll fall for this band quickly – both on cd and live.
Album:
A band name with elves and a squeaky cover: That can only be cheesy Italo-Tralala-Power Metal, right? But stop! The wake-up call sounds already in the first second of the new album! That breaks all expectations! Elvenpath come from Frankfurt and exist since 2002. The original line-up still includes guitarist Till Oberboßel and bassist Christian Flindt. The band plays Melodic Power Metal and used to be influenced more by the German style. This is still the case today. But the opener "Combat Zone Europe" is amazing: American-style power / thrash metal with sawing riffs, lousy high-pitched vocals and even blast beats! There's a lot happening here, even though it's the shortest song on the album in four minutes! What's going on here? Totally cool! After that it's more like Elvenpath used to: So far on the fifth album there is again Teutonic Power Metal with galloping guitars, great solo runs, a lot of doublebass and hymnic vocals in middle to higher pitches. Sometimes singer Dragutin Kremenovic reminds me a bit about Blaze Bayley. In addition to the typical songs Elvenpath squint but also outside the box: So there are at "Devil's Game And God's Masquerade", the second part of the trilogy "The Litanies Of Lucifer" in the album center, for example, sometimes even one Harp to hear. The highlight of the album but provides the epic, fifteen-minute final track "The Mountain Curse", where the listener with a violin. Women's song and a choir surprised, who set to music right at the beginning of a poem by the late 1970 poet Paul Celan in German and in the canon. Medieval, folky melodies and wind noise make for a rustic atmosphere. hot! A lot is going on on "The Path Of The Dark King"; no wonder with varied songs between five and fifteen minutes. The CD is filled to the top with music. Elvenpath score with rich facets, but without ever losing the much quoted thread. Also playfully this is quite high level. So here is something for every Power Metaller. Incidentally, the clean and fat production delivers no less than Accept and ex-Grave Digger guitarist Uwe Lulis! For fans of Majesty, Wizard, Paragon, Rebellion or Battlerage!
