There must be an undying source of inspiration, creativity and endurance where Swedish metal institution Eleine originate from. How else would you explain non-stop touring – including their 2024/2025 debut headline run – and releasing four full-length albums, two electric and even an acoustic EP since their foundation in 2014?
While they’re working on studio album no. 5, Eleine didn’t want to let their fellowship wait even longer and therefore announce the release of a brand new EP today.
Rewarding those without the band wouldn’t be what it is today – their endlessly supportive fan base – the Swedish outfit will put out a new EP titled “We Stand United” on September 5th, 2025, via Reigning Phoenix Music, concurring with the first date of the “Domination” European tour which will see Eleine enter the stages as special guests to German metal commandos Primal Fear.
The EP will comprise five tracks, featuring two unheard pieces: an intro called “Towards the Fields” as well as its title song, a future live favourite cementing the massive bonding between both band and fans, which makes the limited CD and vinyl versions of “We Stand United” a must-add to every Eleine collection.
Pre-order & pre-save the EP now, here.
Tracklist:
01. Towards the Fields (Intro)
02. We Stand United
03. Never Forget [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]
04. We Are Legion [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]
05. Promise of Apocalypse [Symphonic Version]
The self-produced offering was recorded at Studio Bohus in Kungälv, Sweden before Eleine handed the new material to trusted mixing & mastering engineer Thomas “Plec” Johansson (The Panic Room Studio). Finally layouted by Madeleine, the EP’s artwork was crafted by the band’s long-time partner Nestor Avalos alongside the front-woman.
Despite delivering brand new music, an unknown live recording is leading the way to the release of “We Stand United”, which once again refers to the special connection between Eleine and their supporters.
Original members Madeleine Liljestam (vocals) and Rikard Ekberg (guitars, vocals) state: “To introduce you to our upcoming EP we chose this one live track as the first single. We feel it represents us and presents Eleine in a setting we love and one we do very well: Perfoming Live! This is ‘Never Forget’ live from Masters of Rock 2024 in the Czech Republic, and although we had just slept 1-2 hours, scorching hot sun and 50°C (122°F) on stage – we had a great show with an amazing crowd at one of the best festivals out there. We are also rising from a rough start of 2025, and we are reclaiming our lives that truly felt like under the darkest of skies. The scars are present, but Eleine is and will always remain – alongside with our dedicated and loyal fans”!
