Rites Of Disclosure is a special companion release that brings closure to Elvenking’s long-running Reader of the Runes trilogy. Combining previously digital-only originals, two brand-new songs, and a carefully selected set of cover tracks honoring key influences such as Iron Maiden, Skyclad, Bathory, Children of Bodom and King Diamond, the album
functions as both epilogue and tribute.
Musically, it spans the full Elvenking spectrum — from acoustic folk passages to epic and dark metal atmospheres — while lyrically delivering the final chapter of the saga. Featuring guest appearances by Tony “The Demolition Man” Dolan and Snowy Shaw, Rites Of Disclosure is less a traditional studio album and more a ceremonial closing statement before the band moves into a new creative era.
