Swedish dark symphonic metal powerhouse Eleine are pleased to unveil details of their fourth full-length album! Appropriately titled “We Shall Remain”, Eleine’s highly-anticipated new opus marks their first full-length release through new label home Atomic Fire Records following their “Acoustic in Hell” EP (October 2022). “We Shall Remain” will be released on July 14th, 2023.
As an appetizer, the band has unveiled their first single off of the record, “We Are Legion”, alongside a music video: An instant hit delivering chuggy riffs, an empowering chorus, and Eleine’s signature battle vibe.
“The song is our way of honoring our fans”, comments the band. “They have named themselves the Eleine Legion and they have been with us through thick and thin. They have shown us their dedication time and time again, so this song came naturally to us when we started the writing process of ‘We Shall Remain’. This is truly a Legion song to and for our fans. It’s a reminder of your own worth, to feel empowered and that you’re not alone”!
Watch the official video for the new single “We Are Legion” below.
“We Shall Remain” was written and produced by guitarist & vocalist Rikard Ekberg and lead vocalist Madeleine Liljestam, while Thomas “Plec” Johansson took care of co-recording, mixing ,and mastering at The Panic Room Studio in Skövde, Sweden. Its fiery artwork was designed by Nestor Avalos and Madeleine Liljestam.
“We Shall Remain” will be available as a digibook CD, digibook CD + signed photo card (limited edition; EMP & Sound Pollution excl.), jewel case CD, LP (Orange/White), and digitally.
