Elane

Bio:

Elane's music is from another world, Dark Folk in a "Lord of the rings feeling" with a stunning vocal princess Joran. This young and high-motivated band creates their songs in an unbelievable greatest of ease which we've missed for such a long time in the music business. And Elane sounds new, but all the same familiar, it's a music you will never forget.

Elane are young musicians, high-talented, like sparkling diamonds in a swampy moor land. With filigree and ease the band lead us into the realm of their fanasy-land in a bewitched way.

With their self-released debut album "Der Nachtwald" (produced initially at 20 copies) they got some enthusiastic reactions that helped the band to stay alive.
One of their member had a webzine and reviewed some Kalinkaland's releases, that gave them the idea to send to the label their work. It was "love at the first sight", and Elane was quickely signed.

The "love can't wait" EP re-confirms the great talent of this fantastic Dark Folk act and contains two brand new tracks taken from the forthcoming album, two new and never heard songs of their Nachtwald episode, an amazing re-worked version of the track ‘In Nights of Rain and Storm’ (from ‘The Fire of Glenvore’) and two videoclips.
