BAND:
We knew Markkus's talent as a video director and his enthusiasm, as we asked him to shoot the video for us, was so overwhelming that it was a pure pleasure to work with the professional like he is. The "Elvenking" video enters to Tolkien's Middle-earth from multiple angles combining noticeable characters and scenes from Tolkien' written poetry.
DIRECTOR’S WORD
It is very rare to get an opportunity to write this kind of epic video, so I didn’t hesitate to say yes when Jyri messaged me if I would be interested in making it. Back in the days Battlelore’s “Storm of the Blades” was one of the first videos I directed so it was nice to unite again with the band.
Director / Cinematographer / Editor / Script: Markku Kirves
Light & grip (Band shoot): Italo Moncada, Lumi Manninen
Light & grip (Story shoot): Miko Koskinen
Make-up artist: Emma Räsänen
Production house: Pajula Productions

Film was shot at Aulangon Graniittilinnake (Hämeenlinna) & at Valofirma studios 2022.
Thanks to Finland's own Peter Jackson: Markku Kirves, cheers to our talented actors Peetu & Hannu and special thanks to Kirsi Vahtera / Routa Design for making amazing throne & torch for us and Hannu Oksanen & Katja Mykkänen for their effort to enhance the bands outlook. Also thanks to Italo Moncada, Lumi Manninen, Miko Koskinen, Hämeenlinnan kaupunki, Aulangon Graniittilinnake, Artistiasu, dentsu finland and Valofirma.
#Battlelore
And now Elvenking needs to make a song called Battlelore.
I'd pay good money to hear that lol.
They already said on Facebook they might actually do that 😀
@@theologs721 YES. That would be so f.....g cool. :)
@@theologs721 Finally some good news xD
@@TheForlornBat You guys. :D
10 Years..., the Battlelore-Comeback is like to met an old friend. Thank you Battlelore, we have missed you a very long time.
It's good to see Battlelore coming back. Used to listen to them a decade ago.
Seeing this in my feed took me back.
Hi, great music !!!
same!
After 10 years. "The return of the Shadow" is a new Masterpiece of this unique and awesome Band. Thanx Battlelore
Battlelore are SO underrated. One of the best metal bands out there.
...one of best bands that sings middle earth themed songs.
Totally agree.
I thought this was a new song by Elvenking called “Battlelore.” Imagine my confusion…
Oh man I fell for that too! Thankfully I read your comment before the the Napalm Records logo disappeared hahabha
Elvenking should now definetely release a song called Battlelore
noone really cares
@@PaulTruthAndrews That’d be awesome.
Hi, great music !!!
I am now convinced that Napalm records has a metal genre for every fantasy archetype... Or at least getting there...
Im just waiting for some 40K metal
@@richardvaleron2572 My friend have you never heard of Bolt Thrower?
I can't describe how much I wanted to see the band back on stage.
Hi, great music !!!
Battlelore is one of my favorite bands, and I had kind of assumed we'd never get another album from them, never been happier to be wrong.
I am always so happy to see and hear a new Battlelore song! Like on the last video i can provide some lore: (please correct me if i am wrong!) Elvenking Thranduil is the Son of Oropher (the song could be about him , i am not quite sure :)) and is the father of Legolas. He ruled over the Woodland Realm in the Third Age (where the LOTR movies take place). After the Fall of Sauron and in the Fourth Age he either ruled over the Great Forest as The King or departed to the Undying Lands. His name means : Vigourus Spring.
Ok after watching the video a few times i am more convinced this it is about Oropher, seeing him lying dead. (He was slain in the Battle of Dagorad )
Those who know know. 😊
But he encounters Bilbo Bolson, that only happens in the hobbit book and it's king thranduil, I think it's him
@@alearvizuu It might/can/may be. :) Or it might be a traveller meeting a lost soul. We surely need another part of the story! Thank you guys for your thoughtful commenting. Keep it up!
Hi, great music !!!
I love this song! The guitars, the vocals, the keyboard, the drums.... just a perfect combination. I can't wait for the full album to be released tomorrow!
Hi, great music !!!
top notch video quality, great song too! welcome back Battlelore!
I've been waiting for this comeback for 9 years, finally 🙌
Bloody hell thats a nice surprise. Never thought see new Battlelore material :)
Hi, great music !!!
Beautiful song and video! It makes me want to see more of that story!
I congratulate all the members, this song is great, there is a high perfectionism, sounds, rhythms, singing and talent, greetings from Mexico.
Hi, great music !!!
This is One of My New Favorite Battlelore Songs for Forever.
Hi, great music !!!
Good album particularly with opening track called Minas Morgul that starts at once after renowned intro Helloween - A little Time.
I'm glad they are back.
So glad to see you back with new music!!! ❤️
Uff decade ago one of my favorites bands. This is a great song , I mean ...an anthem. Welcome back to my faviorites bands ever. BATTLELORE!!!
Just hearing this particular song for the first time. I immediately thought of IAmCrusty's orphan he threw into the water repeatedly. He has grown a lot since getting tossed around!
Finally, I found a normal track in the napalm studio, otherwise some soulless clips for computer games.
О боже , вот это да!!! Как я рад видеть и слышать их снова , после 11 летнего перерыва! Спасибо за альбом 2022! С 2002 года с вами, привет из России!
I've been waiting so long for you to come back. Elves of luva is at the top of my playlist.💓💓💓💓🎶🎶🎶👩🚀🎸💫🖤
Hi, great music !!!
0:12 *THIS MOMENT!*
*The call of the unknown, I feel it so often when I walk in the wilderness! This small moment speaks the most to my soul!*
I had no idea this band was still active? but as David suggests they've come back... Which I'm all for I loved this band back in the day and sadly only saw them once live when they supported god I can't recall whom but they kicked ass live!
Battlelore is back? Awesome! Nice song & video! :)
I remember watching their live performance in Tavastia like a hundred times on the Journey DVD like 20 Years ago or something.
Welcome back (and lets hunt some Uruks again guys)! \m/
Hi, great music !!!
Wow. New song but somehow makes me feel nostalgic and takes back to a time where I first found gothic symphonic metal, where I first started with Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, Sirenia, Theatre of Tragedy, Theatres des Vampires, Tristania, etc.
You can easily tell they're as good as the good ol' wine, just like many of the above bands. There's no question the expertise and quality of their songs, being founded right after the birth of the genre...
Hi, great music !!!
Never heared of Battlelore till a few weeks ago. You guys are amazing and the latest album is awesome! I listen to metal quite a lot and I love everything Tolkien wrote since a young age. You bring together those two fantastic worlds. Thank you so much for that.
You should, if you haven't, try and get hold of stuff by an old band called The Ring - just one album in 2004 (Tales from Midgard), but it's great.
The beacons are lit, Battelore has returned.
Hi, great music !!!
Flawless Performance 100%
Hi, great music !!!
Almost forget last time hearing them...welcome back
baTTLELORE
Such Great Song and Video...Reminds sort of Symphonic/Gothic Metal from early 2000s like Nightwish and HIM...
Good! We're symphonic/gothic metal band from late 90s / early 2000s and later. :)
@@BattleloreOfficial This is Great...All this years I Never heard About, I used to listen to this since early 2000s 😅😅...Nightwish, Draconian, Tristania, HIM, Lacrimas Profundere, My dying Bride...etc..Thanks for your Answer 🤘I m gonna look for more Materials🤘🤘
Kaisa is still beautiful

Hi, great music !!!
I'm so glad your back. Haven't changed a bit since you've been gone.
Love it!!!!
That halfling was wearing shoes, 0/10 😒 Kidding, that was great! Constantly surprised by how many bands I stumble across that have been around for years but flew completely under my radar. Following Napalm on youtube has introduced me to some of my current favorite bands
Hi, great music !!!
It stokes the fire in my soul that you are back at it! Thank you, my soul needed y'all badly.
This is what plays when the manager at Hot Topic is a huge fantasy geek
So damn happy they are back!!
What a beautiful song! Welcome back Battlelore!
Шикарно!👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
It’s about time we got some new battlelore. Quite happy
WTF?!? A hobbit with shoes?!?!!
Cool tune though, I love Battlelore, happy to see them back 🖤
Thanks for not sneakers
Bilbo actually got a pair of boots in Rivendell. Tolkien painted Bilbo with boots but forgot to include it in the book 😀
Wunderschönes Video und der Song. Freut mich Euch wieder zu hören.😀
