Within weeks of its release, it was sold about 2000 times so that re-pressing of ‘Until Dawn’ hat to commence only three months later. Uplifted by both the fans’ and the journalists’ outstandingly positive feedback Elvellon will carry on their conquest at this year’s Metal Hammer Paradise festival in November as well as at Rock Fest Barcelona 2019, Metalfest Plzeň in Czech Republic and many other concert venues all over Europe. As far as milestones are concerned, there’s no end in sight!
