Swedish dark/gothic metal entity Eleine, while already working on its fifth studio album, didn't want to let its fellowship wait even longer and therefore today announced the release of a new EP, We Stand United, due on 5 September 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.
We Stand United comprises five tracks, two of which, an intro called "Towards The Fields" and the title song, are brand new. Eleine has just served the upcoming EP's first track, "Never Forget (Live at Masters of Rock 2024)".
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: PERFORMING LIVE! This is 'Never Forget' live from Masters of Rock 2024 in the Czech Republic, and although we had just slept 1-2 hours, the 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!"
The self-produced We Stand United EP 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, laid out by Madeleine, the EP's artwork was crafted by the band's long-time partner, Nestor Avalos, alongside Madeleine.
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 its supporters. Link
