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.

I guess, there's not release date yet, there was only an announcement for another acoustic album, as far as I know.

Im so disappointed with Thousandfold. There are so many too-loud-guitar wanna be metal bands out there. But there was only one Eluveitie and I want them to release another album like The Arcane Dominion

I liked Thousandfold, but Spirit songs are the best I've ever listened to. But lets prepare for the newest lot of 'occasional fans' that started to appear since Inis Mona's release. At least, this is the impression I have of what is gonna happen here in Brazil.

Thousandfold is les melodeath than folk rock, but I somehow like it. It sounds more like In Extremo or something like that :) But this is okay, the trailers show other songs from Everything Remains and they sound melodeath. :X

Thousandfold is kind of Folk-Core...Oo...whatever, not that catchy in my opinion. Hopefully they did not totally change their style.

Thousandfold is somehow ... boring, eh. More swedish "Death" Metal (Wannabe Death Metal hits the nail right on the head), more alibi-folk, just to give no one an idea that they get more and more modern metal sellouts. I won't jump at conclusions about how the new CD will sound like, but I think that the great Spirit-Eluveite are gone forever, gone for success, popularity and money. Not really gaulish, right?
