about

This is the reissue of Elffor's 2nd album which was originally released on CD in 2002, limited to only 500 copies and has since become pretty sought after and very hard to track down. On the follow-up to the non-Metal debut Elffor's Medieval Black Ambient now comes distinctly more metallic, with heavy guitars where formerly reigned synthesizers unchallenged. This gives the majestic songs with their fantastic middle ages feeling a more powerful appearance, which often reminds of the mighty Summoning, though mastermind Eöl knows how to effortlessly keep Elffor's special style throughout the whole album and make it palpable every second of the one hour playing time.

Just as the debut reissue the new version of "Son Of The Shades" comes improved in every fiber - all songs have been rerecorded/remastered, two brand new bonus tracks have been composed exclusively for this reissue and of course the cover art and booklet come with completely new, improved design, once again done by Basconian Warrior Igor Mugerza.

Hard to find a single track but at last I picked Far Umbar as it is exploding in the grand finale with a martial chorus. It well depicts a tensive music where Saverio flows the best of Summoning`s heritage into a massive dose of personal inspiration. Looking forward to his third release and a beer, the day we will meet ;) fleba_il_fenicio

Not only every Elffor album bears a little different musical style, but also every song within a specific album sounds different than the other, both musically and stylistically. It is done in such a professional way though, that it doesn't impact the album's consistency at all. Raw and symphonic, aggressive and soothing. The melodies are hypnotic and the sound deep. Elffor at his best. Anders Kvistr
