More about 'We Shall Remain'

Swedish symphonic metal outfit Eleine have delivered something truly special with "We Shall Remain" - their fourth studio album that hits like a freight train loaded with both emotional weight and crushing riffs.Dark, heavy, and gritty, the band's new album is a real tour de force featuring some of the nastiest riffs and thundering drums they have ever written.This isn't your typical corset-core fare; Madeleine Liljestam's soaring vocals dance overheavy and crunchy guitars, drums full of power, and there's also some scorching guitar solos.Tracks like "Never Forget" storm out with ferocious energy, while"Through the Mist" is a discography highlight with a crushing death chargethat showcases the band's evolution toward darker territories.One thing that helps the album, though, is its conciseness. Cutting close to ten minutes off the runtime versus its predecessor, it's a quick listen and easy to repeat.The title track serves as the perfect closer,"We Shall Remain" hits hard like some of the better Kamelot tracks, incorporating orchestration with standout bass leads. And the song's chorus is gorgeous as the female leads soar higher and higher with each repetition.While some critics note thatWe Shall Remain suffers by not bringing more of the better tracks to the beginning of the album,the overall experience is one ofbasically a good, old-fashioned heavy metal album, with killer tunes and a heart of molten metal.For fans of:
Kamelot, The Vision Bleak, Witchery, and Arch Enemy
