Biography
Winterthur, Switzerland (2002 – present)
Eluveitie use both traditional Swiss and Celtic instruments alongside electric guitars and drums. Their music is known to be inspired by Gothenburg’s melodic death metal Scene and their lyrics are written in a mix of English and Gaulish. The name of the band comes from a graffito on a vessel from Mantua (ca. 300 BC). The inscription in Etruscan letters reads eluveitie, which has been interpreted as the Etruscan form of the Celtic (h)elvetios (“the Helvetian”), presumably referring to a man of Helvetian descent living in Mantua.

New album ''Evocation II'' in this october! ^^

Hm, violinist Meri won't be at the show in Sydney. For those of you who've seen Eluveitie live - will this be a big miss, or is the violin kind of drowned out in the shows? :S Also on a more general note, how are the songs from Helvetios when played live? I thought the album was mostly uninspiring (hoping that more stuff from Spirit and Slania are played), but maybe it's better live.

Practically a radio rock band with a few flutes. It's quite funny that metalheads will openly listen to this band and condemn bands like Nickelback.

Brilliant! But I don't like how they've been singing in so much English in the past few albums. I miss the Gaulish.
