It's been just over a year since SKARLET ENVY opened their new era with lead single "Resurrection", but the payoff has arrived and what a payoff it is - the band's new album, "From The Ashes Of The Dark", sees the Hertfordshire gothic metallers back on top form (did they ever leave?) with 40 minutes of heavy, theatric riffage.

The end result is clear - Eld Varg are only continuing to refine and build their sound, delivering a Nordic-tinged metal soundscape. It's easy to see how they have earned a reputation.

The track is full of high energy, soaring riffs and infectious groove, all staples of the sound the band have been working on since their debut album last year.
