Swedish dark symphonic metal powerhouse Eleine have unveiled details of their fourth full-length album. Appropriately titled We Shall Remain, Eleine's 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 14.
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!"
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 (nestoravalosofficial.com) 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.
