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.

The new album is sounding a lot better than the last one I've only heard a few songs but I'm already impressed :D btw is there any way of a user changing the albums section? As most of you probably know, its wrong!

As the album ended I was totally excited and pre-ordered this godlike piece of art, I've waited so long for a dignified Spirit-successor and I'll get it, on February 19, naturally.

I have to admit, that I was never a big fan of "Slania" and this Wannabe-Acoustic Album, but the new output surprised me indeed, "Thousandfold" and "Kingdom come undone" are by far not the best songs on that album, so in conclusion it's an amazing album with a lot of surprises I had never expected from Eluveitie. Stay anxious, it's worth it, and I think this 2 weeks won't kill ya, pleasant anticipation is always the best pleasure, especially when there are great things to come, like Eluveitie's or Finntroll's new outputs.
