Rockfiend • 20 February 2026

Darklore release their highly anticipated new studio album, The Great Elven War, alongside the thunderous new single Wrath of the High Heavens.

Today marks a monumental chapter in fantasy metal as Darklore release their highly anticipated new studio album, The Great Elven War, alongside the thunderous new single Wrath of the High Heavens.

Serving as the album’s eighth and final track, “Wrath of the High Heavens” stands as a towering anthem of celestial warfare and mythic storytelling. Inspired by Blizzard Entertainment’s iconic franchise Diablo, the song explores the ancient origins of the Eternal Conflict, the endless war between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

Driven by soaring orchestration, relentless riffs, and battle-cry choruses, the track pays tribute to the Angiris Council, the ruling angels who stand as the last bastion of light against demonic forces. A sweeping clash of divine fury and infernal chaos, “Wrath of the High Heavens” captures the timeless struggle of light versus darkness in true Darklore fashion: epic, cinematic, and unyielding.

The Great Elven War expands the band’s signature blend of symphonic grandeur, crushing metal intensity, and deep-rooted fantasy lore. Each track builds a rich narrative universe, culminating in a finale that feels both triumphant and apocalyptic.

With today’s release, Darklore further solidify their place at the forefront of fantasy metal, crafting not just songs, but sagas.

“Wrath of the High Heavens” and The Great Elven War are available now on all major streaming platforms.
