Norwegian band also recently debuted with a debut album
By Luiz Athayde
The Norwegian band Eldkling barely debuted with the excellent album The End of Eternity – available on CD by Bandcamp – and they’ve already released another unreleased track. Or better, an explosive version for a classic of the Swedish hard rock band Europe: “Ninja”.
As the name of this article says, it is not a mere cover, but a power metal reinterpretation in the best Scandinavian style. The signature is the duo formed by Magne Langsholt (drums and other instruments) and Morten Nicolaysen (vocals, guitar and other instruments), active since the days of Ravenlord, his former band.
Versions are not a new thing coming from the duo. In February they shared their vision of Yngwie Malmsteen’s “Seventh Sigh”, causing a good repercussion among their followers. However, Eldkling shows itself more as a studio band. So far, no announcement has been made to promote their debut album, not even a live.
