Italiens wohl bekannteste Pagan Folk Metaller ELVENKING zeigen mit ihrem neu veröffentlichten Venom Cover `Prime Evil`, bei dem auch Anthony Dolan und Snowy Shaw (Ex-Mercyful Fate, Ex-Therion uvm.) zu hören sind, wieder ihre härtere Seite. Zur Zeit sind ELVENKING wieder im Studio, um den Nachfolger zu “Reader Of The Runes – Rapture”einzuspielen und gehen demnächst auf Nordamerika Tour.
ELVENKING schreiben über die `Prime Evil` Kooperation
„it is a special song in many ways, starting from the fact that it is a love letter to a band and to a specific moment in time when metal was in fact imprinting our lives indefinitely. The second special aspect of this recording is the lineup. It is a surprise and a metal-dream come true for us since it sees Tony Dolan „Demolition Man“ on vocals + bass (he was the original singer and bass player of Venom in the era in which this album was released and now he is still kicking with Venom Inc.), Snowy Shaw (ex-Mercyful Fate, ex-King Diamond, ex-Memento Mori, etc.) on drums, Damna on vocals + rhythm guitars, Aydan on solo guitar + keyobards and Lethien on the violin.“
