Here is the last album in date of the italians Elvenking. « Two Tragedy Poets … And A Caravan Of Weird Figures » is an entire acoustic album. I just wanted to “kick up a stink”, it is not really easy to appreciate an album and review it when you have “voice over” all the time repeating “you’re listening to the last promotional album …”, it is tiring …
The tracks are filk and as a whole, festive. We have two rerecording « The Winter Wake » and « The Wanderer » more one cover « Heaven Is A Place On Earth » interpreted at first by Belinda Carlisle (The Misfits) and the rest of the album, are new compositions.
The acoustic guitars is very present, but we also find a little electric guitars, the violin is also very present but we have flute and keyboards/piano. The compositions are simple and lively. Damnagoras has a melodic voice, well at place, right but I do think that sometimes he does too much…
It is an album nice to listen but which do not mark more than that.

Line up :
Damnagoras (chant) (vocals)
Aydan (guitare/backing vocals) (guitars/backing vocals)
Gorlan (basse) (bass)
Elyghen (violon/claviers) (violin/keyboards)
Zneder (batterie) (drums)
