Eluveitie @ Copenhell 2019 – Day 3

Mia Hall — Fri, 05 Jul 2019 19:35:35 +0000

Because this “little lady” was late once again, I didn’t catch the first few songs from Swiss folk metal band ELUVEITIE, but when I DO arrive to the Hades stage at Copenhell, I am met by the BEAUTIFUL voice of singer Fabienne Erni.
But it only takes a really short while until Chrigel Glanzmann starts to scream/growl.

I have to admit that I thought ELUVEITIE would sound more folk than metal, but this actually sounds more metal than folk metal (if you catch my drift) and I am NOT hating it!

This sounds like a newer, more updated and fresh type of folk metal than I have heard before when listening to this metal sub genre.
It becomes obvious why this band is called a folk metal band as I witness almost all eight band members (normally nine, but Matteo Sisti is not present today due to personal reasons) start to play some instruments not particularly known in the metal scene.

I see harp-like things, bagpipes and flutes, mandolins and fiddles (and some other instruments I don’t exactly know the name of) and I am totally into what ELUVEITIE do up on that stage. I have to say I am totally mesmerized by this performance!

I love the fact that this band is playing their “odd” instruments, but still keeping it totally METAL!
Some people might think that it’s the growls of Chrigel Glanzmann that makes this more metal than folk metal related, but no. The whole band and their performance are totally living up to the COPENHELL concept, and the band is really giving me (and hopefully the entire crowd) a show we won’t forget very soon.

ELUVEITIE have so many different elements and layers to their music that I can’t help just standing still and simply enjoy their music and performance.
And when I hear the two vocalists sing the same lyrics (like a duet), one singing in pure high pitched voice, and the other growling in total synchronization, I get goosebumps for the second time during this festival.

I know I am mentioning and focusing on Glanzmann and Fabienne Erni a lot right now, but trust me, all the members are just amazing with their instruments (including the two singers who play bagpipe and flute) – ooops… I did it again… Sorry
But the entire band is really putting on a show that I personally would love to see again.

This is a band that is not to be labelled as a “folk metal” band in my opinion. They are a metal band with native expressions, and if any of you readers enjoy metal with “special elements and instruments” you should really check this band out. They are truly talented and unique in what they do. Trust me.

ELUVEITIE – new lyric video for “Worship” [feat. Randy Blythe] released

Power of Metal — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 18:04:17 +0000

– release a new lyric video for “Worship” [feat. Randy Blythe]

After triumphantly storming the worldwide charts with new album »Ategnatos«, the Swiss folk metal superstars ELUVEITIE are premiering an official lyric video for the track “Worship” today.

Watch the new lyric video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubhf4AAL5Hc

Chrigel Glanzmann comments:

“Here you go with our second lyric video for a song from our brand new album ATEGNATOS!
It’s the second part of the two-song cycle of THE SLUMBER and WORSHIP!
A radical song with drastic lyrics on a severe topic: The ancient Celtic Sesroneos myth, in which our modern societies can and probably should reflect themselves as much as the people in ancient times could!
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and find some food for thought in it!
Special thanks to Randy Blythe of LAMB OF GOD for an excellent performance!”

»Ategnatos« has entered the charts all over the world, including a #3 position in their home country, Switzerland and #11 in Germany.

With »Ategnatos«, the dedicated nine-piece not only worked with a real string quartet (a premiere!) and granted Fabienne Erni’s sublime mastery of the harp the room it deserved; they also undertook a holistic upgrade resulting in some of the most catchy, most aggressive or most epic tunes the Swiss Metal nobility has ever offered.

Chrigel Glanzmann states:

“Our dear new „baby“ is born and now the time has come for us it „let it go“ and release it into the whole wide world. We’re extremely excited and curious to do so, for we’re proud of ATEGNATOS!
Creating it was a deep and intense experience, it was like a journey, the voyage of a fellowship of nine souls and nine musicians alike. But it’s not only that we formed the songs on that album, it’s also the other way around – ATEGNATOS formed us!

And now we’re beyond excited to let it go on it’s own journey throughout the world and to see how it will speak to all of you!“

The band also presents their third track-by-track video today. Check it out here:

ELUVEITIE – second track-by-track released

Power of Metal — Sat, 30 Mar 2019 03:10:09 +0000

– second track-by-track video released

Swiss folk metal stars ELUVEITIE are going to release their new studio album »Ategnatos« on April 5th 2019 via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band presents the second track-by-track video. Check it and find out more about the songs ‘The Raven Hill’, ‘The Silvern Glow’, ‘Ambiramus’ and ‘Mine Is The Fury’: https://youtu.be/U1v6d1o44t0

The first part can be seen here: https://youtu.be/JWFXaCAnCu4

ELUVEITIE already released the new single ‘Ambiramus’ The song can be heard and watched in the form of a music video over on YouTube. The music video was produced by the Polish company Grupa13 in January 2019 and can be seen here:

https://youtu.be/hFa2M1QW6UI

Chrigel Glanzmann states:

“Here you go – the next single off our upcoming album: AMBIRAMUS!

It’s definitely one of the most exceptional songs from our discography! AMBIRAMUS comes in quite groovy and with a light-hearted, yet racing folk reel in the chorus and a very accessible overall appearance; easily the brightest song we’ve ever written. Yet at the same time it goes to where the actual magic of traditional Celtic folk music exists: a place where cheerfulness and melancholy, hardship and hope, glee and deep mysticism meet to become one! And this deep, wistful yet hopefull mysticism is also found in the song’s lyrics, which will take you to the very core of the Celtic mythology the album contemplates. AMBIRAMUS (gaulish for “Voyage”) is based on a late Celtic literary tradition – the so-called Immrama tales.

AMBIRAMUS is the last song we wrote for the album and it’s probably the result of and a testimony to the very inspiring and creative atmosphere, in which we created ATEGNATOS! The song basically ‘fell into place’ after Alain finished the drum tracking, and it was written and arranged in just a few hours. We hope you enjoy it!”

ELUVEITIE – first album trailer released

Power of Metal — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 19:42:46 +0000

– first album trailer released!

We all wade through archetypes. We all ARE archetypes. Distant echoes of a life both primeval and noble. To embrace these archetypes, to accept them not only as a part of life but as life itself is what some may call enlightenment, some peace of mind. ELUVEITIE call it »Ategnatos«. And by using their longest ever gap between albums to gather momentum, they just forged their strongest album around it. »Ategnatos« will be released on April 5th 2019 via Nuclear Blast.

Today, the band presents the first album trailer on YouTube. Check it and find out more about the concept and the lyrics of the upcoming album: https://youtu.be/JcoOZjwss0c

Recenlty, the band has released the title track as digital single. The song can be heard and watched in the form of a music video over on YouTube. The music video was produced by the Polish company Grupa13 in January 2019 and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/BG6en2WyAsw

Recordings of »Ategnatos« took place in their beloved New Sound Studio with their engineer of choice Tommy Vetterli. “Yet it was radically different as we only had four weeks to record this time around – as compared to the eight weeks we had for ‘Origins’.” By taking mixing duties to the skilled hand of renowned studio wizard Jens Bogren in his Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, ELUVEITIE returned to the very spot where they mixed their now legendary »Slania« album more than ten years ago. With »Ategnatos«, the dedicated nine-piece not only worked with a real string quartet (a premiere!) and granted Fabienne Erni’s sublime mastery of the harp the room it deserved; they also undertook a holistic upgrade resulting in some of the most catchy, most aggressive or most epic tunes the Swiss Metal nobility has ever offered.

Chrigel Glanzmann states:

“So here it is, the first single off our new album (well, apart the ‘sneak peek’ you already got a year ago with ‘Rebirth’), being the title track itself. It’s the song off the album introducing you into the whole mental realm that is ‘Ategnatos’! Its message comes inconvenient maybe, challenging, evocative. This is a call from Antumnos!”
