The unusual instrument is a Hurdy-Gurdy which is a medieval stringed instrument. The flute instruments are tin and low whistles (low whistle is the bigger one whereas the smaller one is a tin whistle) which are Irish instruments, The guitar like instrument is a mandola (like a mandolin but bigger and older) and the main melody of the song is from an Irish traditional song called "lads of laois". The band's name is pronounced "el-vay-tee" and they're a Swiss folk metal band who sometimes sing in the extinct Celtic language "Gaulish" their lyrics deal with Celtic history and mythology and most of their songs borrow melodies from traditional songs typically from Ireland or Brittany (in France)

[@drock55551]

Cromm Cruach I believe it's an Irish Bouzuki not a Mandola. I don't think Mandolas are that big.

[@madddog6790]

Eluveitie (ElVAYtee) is a Swiss folk metal band, and the instrument in question is a hurdy gurdy. This band does a lot of songs in ancient Gaulish, which is something you don't hear every day lol. Get the Origins CD...the current album is an all acoustic CD, so it's not as "metal" as this. Also...no piccolos in this band :). And...believe it or not, they actually did tour in support of Epica last year. Anywhoo....this is one of my favorite bands.

[@gareththomas9806]

Slight correction they sing in Neo-Gaulish .... reconstructied Gaulish,

[@jeffreyb1228]

Helvetios is a great album too

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

madDdog 67 when I saw them I Calgary they were touring with Epica, but that concert there was a big enough family issue that Epica couldn’t play, so the Agonist opened for them instead. Bloody fantastic show though

[@underadeadmanswatch1966]

That is the hurdy-gurdy formally played by ex-vocalist Anna Murphy. Almost every Eluveitie song is amazing check out A Rose for Epona, and King when they had the original members who went on to form another band called Cellar Darling. And they've co-headlined a toured in the US with Epica back in 2015.

[@Maggot91ify]

By the time they did origins Chrigel was the only original member

[@jleewaters]

I'm always amazed how much the metal and folk elements mix so well together

[@619Slipk]

The weird instrument is a hurdy-gurdy. To simplify how it works, it has a crank on the top that's attached to a wheel that generates friction on the strings (which can vary in number), then it has keys on the side to modify the sound produced by the middle strings.

[@andyventures6574]

This basically showcases every style eluveitie play. Hard death metal growlly, soft folky, anthemic female lead songs, top shred guitar soloing and trad jig/reel style melody's on trad instruments.

[@esaedvik]

It's cool that their hurdy-gurdist used to be a fan making covers on KZbin :D A bit like Wintersun's new live guitarist used to be a fan...in Pakistan...then moved to Finland.

[@CauldronOfWeird]

Esa Edvik oh dang i didn’t know that

[@bja009]

I saw them as the opener for a 4-band tour (supporting Ensiferum, Turisas and Tyr) in Cleveland in 2007 and have been hooked on folk metal ever since. Definitely check out Ensiferum as well.

[@Insideranon]

Do king by them TRUST ME THEY WILL FREAK It’s pronounced el-vay-tea

[@CauldronOfWeird]

At least I was close

[@Insideranon]

Cauldron Of Weird yeah the band themselves say they don’t expect people to be able to easily pronounce it haha. But you should definitely react to king!

[@nightsight85]

Also check out Inis Mona, another great song by them.

[@christiansanity]

First video watched by you guys. No offense, but I honestly expected it to be a let down of a reaction, but pleasantly surprised! And I completely agree I didn’t know I needed this in my life until I found it.

[@davidgbronstein]

There's a new song (and new video) by them, from their upcoming album: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiZlqFojN50qdk

[@thesaxon1377]

It’s hurdy gurdy guys.

[@darchon5]

Great reaction and discussion! Just discovered you guys, where have I been?! As stated by others, please react to King - arguably their best song from their previous album. Please also react to Inis Mona, possibly their most iconic song of all. Keep up the great work!

[@Insideranon]

Okay, I have a really good one for you guys. Trust its good. I seriously am stoked for this reaction jinjer - pisces

[@psych0tron]

Fun fact: the last time Eluveitie came to the states was co-touring with Epica and The Agonist opening back in 2015. Epica had to cancel a bunch of the north american shows due to family health issues sadly, but instead everyone got treated to an extra-long Eluveitie set. Easily the most impressive live metal show I've ever seen.

[@nightsight85]

The instrument you were wanting to know about is called a herdigerdi. :)

[@aeternus1545]

This and the Jinjer reaction made me subscribe, Chris is such a genuine dude honestly, love the guy. Hope you "stumble upon" more songs like this...I could recommend some, but I doubt you guys actually read the comments.

[@CauldronOfWeird]

Please do recommend stuff.

[@aeternus1545]

Well that was fast...I don't even know where to start, but Opeth should be an interesting one for you guys, try 'Ghost of Perdition'...there's no video, but trust me that song is insane...on so many levels. If you're not into very long songs with no video, you should try something else from Jinjer or Eluveitie...as great reaction songs I can recommend "I speak Astronomy" - Jinjer or "Rose for Epona" - Eluveitie. If, on the other side, you would like a very interesting video from a band you might have heard of, but the song...you probably didn't heard it go for "Run" - Foo Fighters. Mad respect for whoever is handling the channel, I'm really grateful that my comment has any meaning, thank you! PS: I've searched on your channel if you reacted to those songs and you didn't so all my recommendations are fine, assuming you actually don't know the songs. PS2: The recommendations were made from a "marketing" point of view, I'm also an online marketer, besides being a metalhead. I've noticed you were at a Babymetal concert, so I couldn't recommend that...though if not all the guys in the video know about them, it can still be a nice surprise, I'd say "Karate" or "Road of Resistance" are pretty damn good 'intro' songs to the band.

[@yukikitten6767]

Eluvietie uses GT, BS, whisles, bagpiples, hurdy gurdy, violin, drums, harp, and few other instroments

[@overdev1993]

the fastest song of them would be havoc I think that track is mindblowing

[@randybobandy7746]

Lol you guys. I could have a beer with you chaps haha. Regards from England ;)

[@deathdrummer1019]

Eluveitie is great i been listening to them since i was 17 and im 27 now lol I can recommend similar bands. just to name a few of my favorites Alestorm korpiklaani turisas ensiferum finntroll keep the genre alive,, You got my sub

[@oneek]

El - vay - ti.

[@ItsMeDarrenB]

YOU GUYS NEED TO REACT TO UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - AWAKENING!!! Canadian PowerMetal band from Victoria BC.

[@BurningmonkeyGTR]

You guys should react to Blackbriar, it'd probably split you right down the middle because Zora's voice is so weird

[@billbryant1275]

You guys need to listen to elvenking and moonspell

[@ajbryant8072]

The same reaction i had whats his name with The gray shirt And that my friend is a HURDY GURDY Instrument shes playing... And can y'all react to Epona...by them also...

[@gareththomas9806]

"What that is" is a Hurdy Gurdy.... go look at the Wikipedia to see what they play.

[@benzskyeshxc96]

You need to do more metal reaction.

[@CauldronOfWeird]

We do metal reactions multiple times a week.

[@tasnimas376]
