Elvenking - Dong Open Air 2017

When we talk about the spearhead of European underground, we talk about bands like Elvenking. The band has come a long way since the late 90s and continues to appear in billings everywhere. They first came to Mount Moshmore in 2005. Co-headlining before Finntroll was a big slot they easily filled, leaving behind an ecstatic audience. They made the the anniversary line up in 2010 and also entered the stage as guest musicians with Skyclad.

They have since released three studio albums and a live album, and you cannot spot the smallest bit of machine fatigue in the six Italians. Their current album The Pagan Manifesto brims with enthusiasm and yet again proves their mastery of blending power metal and folk. Finally, it is also singer Damnas formidable voice that makes the band so very recognizable. The cherry on top, as you will be able to find out yourself, is that Elvenking like no others know how to play a great live show!
