Swedish symphonic metal band ELEINE have unveiled their brand-new single, “Empire Of Lies,” marking the first taste of the band’s upcoming album scheduled for release on December 4 via RPM.
Driven by thunderous rhythms, powerful riffs, and the band’s signature fusion of brutality and melody, “Empire Of Lies” explores the emotional toll of deception and the inevitable downfall of falsehood. The track balances dark atmospheres with empowering intensity, delivering a chorus built for massive live singalongs.

The band also premiered an official music video alongside the single release:
Founding members Rikard Ekberg and Madeleine Liljestam shared the inspiration behind the track:
“An empire built on lies cannot and will not stand the test of time. When the lies get too heavy the empire will fall, and truth is found in the remains.”
They also described the song as “energetic & powerful,” expressing hope that fans will chant along with the chorus during future live performances.
Following the success of their 2023 album We Shall Remain and extensive touring alongside acts like ENSIFERUM, PAIN, and NIGHTWISH, ELEINE have continued building momentum as one of Europe’s fastest-rising modern metal acts.
The band’s first headline tour in 2024 proved their growing international draw, followed by the release of their EP We Stand United and additional touring with Primal Fear.
New music is expected throughout the remainder of 2026, alongside another extensive European headline tour.
