Finntroll’s Mathias Lillmåns joins Finnish progressive metallers Elding: New song “Blood Will Tell” released

Elding is an international progressive metal band formed in Helsinki, Finland. The ensemble draws inspiration from a vast spectrum of influences, which along with other bands (prog and metal ones in particular) primarily include classical music, film soundtracks as well as video games and their respective scores. Now imagine all of these entwined with a deep appreciation for cultural heritage, large varieties of literature, nature and wildlife, philosophy, psychology and spirituality; transmuted and portrayed with an undertow of fantasy.

For further immersion in regards to the music’s narrative, the group will also present its own lore accompanied with illustrations made by seasoned artist Damjan Gjorgievski. The artwork is being expanded upon as the musicians make progress with their craft – offering curious minds enigmatic clues which may help unravel the more mysterious aspects of the band’s mythos.
