Swedish metal band Eleine drops their new single and visualizer “Liars Linger” from their upcoming fifth studio album, The Water Taste Of Blood, out December 4th via Algoth Records / Sound Pollution.
Where “Watch As We Rise” was the soundtrack of the empire coming down, “Liars Linger” is about the kind of betrayal that only cuts this deep when it comes from someone you trusted with your life, whose words turn out to be worthless and whose blades were sharpened long before you saw them coming.
Exhausted but still marching, the song refuses to let that wreckage harden into fear, turning the pain into the very strength that carries you back out of it. It builds with tension before breaking wide open into a chorus that no longer belongs just to the band, leaving you standing taller than it found you.
In Eleine’s own words: “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 to 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.”
The Water Taste Of Blood is available to pre-order here.
What began in southern Sweden has grown into a loyal global community united by music, perseverance, and the refusal to give up. Led by vocalist Madeleine Liljestam and guitarist/vocalist Rikard Ekberg, Eleine has spent recent years building one of metal’s most dedicated fan communities through acclaimed releases, including a #1 album on the Swedish sales charts, successful headline tours, and a direct connection with their audience that extends far beyond the stage.
Along the way, the band has shared stages with Arch Enemy, Kamelot, PAIN, Sonata Arctica, and W.A.S.P., while steadily building a headline presence of their own. Their 2024 European headline tour sold out multiple dates and led directly to a second headline run in spring 2025.
In just a few weeks, Eleine will kick off the biggest headline tour of their career with over 30 shows across Europe and the UK, from Hamburg and London to Paris, Milan, Warsaw, and Copenhagen, before coming home to Sweden for an exclusive The Water Taste Of Blood album release show in Lund on December 5th.
