Era is the seventh studio album by Italian folk metal band Elvenking. The album returns more to the band's traditional sound of folk metal and power metal incorporating more folk elements into the songs that were more so lacking from previous albums such as The Scythe and Red Silent Tides . Guest appearances on vocals by Jon Oliva (Savatage), (Trans-Siberian Orchestra), (Jon Oliva's Pain) and Netta Dahlberg as well as a guitar solo performed by Teemu Mantysaari of (Wintersun) can be heard on the album. Prior to the album's release, Damna and Aydan did a sit down via YouTube going through the album track-by-track describing to fans where each song is coming from and what went into writing and recording the songs. ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
