Elvenking is an Italian power metal and folk metal band formed in 1997. Made up of childhood friends who grew up in Sacile, the band's protagonists are Federico Aydan Baston (guitar) and Davide Damnagoras Moras (vocals), the only members present from the outset. In 2000, Elvenking recorded their first demo, To Oak Woods Bestowed, which attracted the interest of German label AFM Records. Their first studio album, Heathenreel, was released in 2001, followed by several others, including Wyrd (2004), The Winter Wake (2006) and The Scythe (2007). In 2014, the album The Pagan Manifesto, featuring violinist Fabio Polo, bassist Alessandro Jacobi and drummer Simone Morettin, marked a return to the band's folk roots, while Reader of the Runes - Divination (2019) introduced a conceptual approach to their music. The latter opens a triptych continued by Reader of the Runes - Rapture (2023), with new guitarist Mattia Carli, and Reader of the Runes - Luna (2025).
