While the Swedish dark symphonic metal band ELEINE is currently still haunting the North American clubs together with MOONSPELL, they present with “War Das Alles” the third digital single and at the same time one of the, if not the most extraordinary song of their upcoming album » We Shall Remain, which will be released on July 14, 2023 via Atomic Fire Records.
The new song by ELEINE Written in extremely dark times, ‘War Das Alles’ is based on a German poem by frontwoman Madeleine Liljestam, making it one of the most touching and intimate moments on the record.
The band explains:
“Actually these lines were written in English, but somehow it seemed like they would make more sense in German and so ‘War Das Alles’ was born. When you feel surrounded by darkness, you can ask yourself: Is that it? Was that it with me? Not uncommon questions when going through tough times that are just too heavy for your shoulders.
There are still a few dark hours to live through before things finally take a turn for the better. Whether it’s depression, a tricky work assignment, or a relationship, there’s usually one last valley to cross before you finally get where you’re going.
With this track we want to make it clear that such thoughts and feelings can haunt our lives again and again, but still don’t herald the downfall directly. You are part of something better that awaits us at the end of the tunnel, a more balanced life.
The song should make you feel that you are good the way you are and that you are not alone out there. Soak up the extraordinary vibe that this chorus exudes – may the coming day be a better one with the help of the entire ELEINE following.”
