“We wanted to give you something in between album cycles. A feel of what’s to come, where we stand right now and a closer look at the past. This is We Stand United – An EP dedicated towards our strong and loyal fans across the world including live tracks and something brand new! On this EP Eleine present you with live tracks on CD and vinyl for the first time ever! We enjoy the studio, but it will always be when performing LIVE we truly thrive as a band. This is where we connect with the crowd, where we create beautiful and empowering memories together and where we get to live out the songs on stage. We Stand United is a 5 track EP carrying new heavy riffs, thundering live performances and a rawness we feel many will appreciate.” – Madeleine Liljestam & Rikard Ekberg, Eleine
The droning cinematic introduction is deeply eerie in its shadowy manifestation, drawing in the eager listener with intense anticipation. “We Stand United” emerges with a fury of guitar-driven riffs and a menacing marching rhythm. Eleine’s iconic atmospheric arrangement strikes intently with Madeleine Liljestam’s enthralling charismatic vocals accompanied with fierce harsh growls from Rikard Ekberg. The chorus lyric hook is certain to be one fans will be singing for a long time to come.
“Never Forget [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]” and “We Are Legion [Live at Masters of Rock 2024]” reveal the dynamicity and enticing allure of Eleine’s live performances. The proficiency of the band and love from the crowd provide a taste of the festival experience. We Stand United ends with the symphonic version of “Promise Of Apocalypse”. Placing the orchestration center stage, this interpretation creates a truly spectacular cinematic display.
