Switzerland (2002 – present)
Eluveitie (pronounced el-vey-ti) is a celtic folk metal band from Switzerland, formed in 2002. They 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, Gaullic and Swiss dialects.
Their first album was the self financed “Vên,” released in 2003. After that they have released three full-length albums: “Spirit” (2006), “Slania” (2008) and “Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion” (2009). The latter is completely acoustic and will contains various guest artists, such as Fredy Schnyder from Nucleus Torn playing the hammered dulcimer on two tracks, Oli S. Tyr from the German medieval band Faun contributing the sounds of the long-necked lute on the title track, Alan Nemtheanga from the Irish pagan metal band Primordial presents his vocals in two tracks, Mina The Fiddler from the experimental folk band Branâ Keternâ playing the 5-stringed viola on two tracks and Sarah Wauquiez, their former band member, playing Zugerörgeli (helvetic accordion) on one track.

@BossHossV8Bikes-- similar problems at the venue in Worcester, MA. Eluvieitie didn't even try to play any of the acoustic songs, because the venue's equipment wasn't up for it. Belphegor stopped their set three or four times to re-do the sound check and try to get the equipment sounding right.

@DanCorb, yeah it is very tough to find a band just like Eluveitie, which is why I respect them so much, they have an original sound that can't be matched. @BossHossV8Bikes, damn dude that sucks. Though for a few of their songs the levels were a bit off, like when they were playing Inis Mona, you could barely hear the flute, which kinda sucked because I love that solo Chrigel plays

AlexShelley, max_pyro: None of those bands even come close to the sheer power, heaviness, and melody of Eluveitie. Thank you for your suggestions but I'm still finding it very difficult to find a folk metal band like Eluveitie.

"Finally got to see Eluveitie last night, might I say, what a show. The crowd wanted to play acoustic stuff so they did, but then Chrigel got bored because he wanted to start doing some metal vocals lol Grey Sublime Archon was fantastic live, it was also awesome to hear Omnos and Brictom too, Anna's got such a beautiful voice." Must be nice! The venue here in LA, "Ultraviolet Social Club" kept having too many audio problems. Their levels weren't the way it should be, the drums were too high, vocals and flute nearly inaudible, hurdy gurdy barely noticeable... they weren't too pleased, but not nearly as pissed as Vreid was. Though, even with all the difficulties they were still phenomenal. But I was hoping to hear some acoustic stuff.

Saw these guys last night, absolutely amazing. For most of the set the electric instruments drown'd the acoustic ones, but they played "Brictom" and I could hear the hurdy gurdy and everything. Pure wonderfulness.

anna had a cold during the show in new york, so nothing was played off the evocation i album.. which i didn't mind. the new metal song that they did play sounded very promising. i love this band ;D

They often have strange settings live...just because it's hard to mix. You have the same problem with many other folk-metal bands....too heavy contrast between acoustic instruments and distorted guitars, too strong distortion and so on.

Eluveitie put up an amazing show live.. What bothers me most is that last time I saw them, almost none of the acoustic instruments could be heard.

Mkolaska: zobaczymy się na Wacken. I just saw Eluveitie live at Heathenfest at Jaxx in Virginia. Absolutely amazing. Anna Murphy is so cute when she smiles after headbanging.

I'f likr yo ask - Is there any chance that You will play on Wacken Open Air 2010? I'm asking because I have chance to go there (for work, but still) and because You are my favourite band it would be nice to see You live. Or... Maybe You plan to play in Poland, my Motherland?
