Swedish symphonic metal band ELEINE have released their new single, “Liars Linger,” accompanied by an official visualizer. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming fifth studio album, The Water Taste Of Blood, due December 4, 2026 via Algoth Records / Sound Pollution.
Following the defiant energy of previous single “Watch As We Rise,” “Liars Linger” turns its attention toward betrayal and the devastating consequences of having trust broken by someone close. Musically, the track balances heaviness and vulnerability before opening into what the band describes as one of the strongest choruses on the upcoming record.
ELEINE comment:
“Have you ever trusted someone deeply? Maybe even to the point where you trust them with your life? When trust is broken, it all falls apart. It is time to open your eyes towards all that has been, is and will become. You must realize what is now, is real. But do not fear being deceived again, use the pain to rise through the lies and reclaim your freedom.
“‘Liars Linger’ is one of the strongest choruses of the upcoming album. It’s heartbreaking yet uplifting, heavy but fragile. We hope our fans will embrace this song as much as we have.”
Led by vocalist Madeleine Liljestam and guitarist/vocalist Rikard Ekberg, ELEINE have steadily expanded from their beginnings in southern Sweden into an international force. The band have earned a #1 album on the Swedish sales charts and shared stages with Arch Enemy, Kamelot, PAIN, Sonata Arctica and W.A.S.P., while establishing a growing headline presence across Europe.
Their 2024 European headline tour included multiple sold-out dates and was followed by another headline run in spring 2025. The band currently reaches nearly 700,000 followers across its social and streaming platforms, with its music videos surpassing 60 million views on YouTube.
