You need to listen Ategnatos... epic... the following of this song. You will listen to the melody of Rebirth at the beginning of Ategnatos

[@andyventures6574]

You need to run the whole album... Rebirth is on it too. Lyrically and musically every song is Linked.

[@renepanak8541]

Chrigel (the growling man) starts this band as his solo project. He was recording all instruments on his own, but when people want him to play live, he have to find some musicians... So, this is how it started ;) More songs by ELUVEITIE with less growl: Ambiramus Epona Lvgvs The Slumber (some growls) older songs with previous lineup (Anna Murpy...) Call of the Mountains A Rose For Epona Alesia (some growls) Omnos (Fear - old poem) Some songs are sung in Gaulish - language of Asterix and Obelix ;) Also, Anna Murpy with others, who left Eluveitie, now formed band Cellar Darling... And if you are curious, the instrument with handle|crank is Hurdy-Gurdy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurdy-gurdy. It is something like "mechanical violin". If you are interested, try find Patty Gurdy on youtube ;) kzbin.info/door/SEOK9G-A2oCyZwdGesCpIg

[@chrissavoy3643]

Eluveitie - Thousandfold ... One of my favorites. Bro plays the flute like a BOSS in the opener. ;)

[@brendo9672]

Check out Takasago by Quest For Blood. Japanese flute insanity

[@PRATIK1900]

You Want aflute solo? AND a Violin solo? try Eluveitie - King. Also songs like Inis Mona, Tagernako, Thousandfold, etc

[@wardeni4806]

Flute solo and violin solo? Literally anything by Turisas then, except with an accordion too

[@vicaris5032]

Tegernako is so underrated

[@andyventures6574]

@@wardeni4806 accordion? Then you need Korpiklaani....

[@zildjian4life433]

Elveitie are an INCREDIBLE band!! Many of their songs, esp. from earlier albums, are sung in Gaulish whch is a extinct celtic language that predates LATIN! They learned as much of it as there is to know and use it in their music! I have learned more about my celtic ancestry and culture from this band then I ever did in school. Explore them. Extremely talented artists!

[@lucay16]

.ch means Confederation Helvetica and is the standard domain for Switzerland :-)

[@invinciblenowyt]

Lol yeah, being swiss I was really confused why he was surprised by the tld, every swiss website has it and since the band is from Winterthur...

[@elwansaillant9752]

If you don't like Chrigel's growls try Call of The Mountains with their first female singer and Epona or Lugus with their current female singer !

[@laochnasolais5520]

I just put Call of the Mountains into their request engine... again ;) maybe they'll get to it soon!

[@snakewhisperer1]

The original female singer was Anna Murphy who also played the Hurdy Gurdy. When she left, they brought in two to replace her: the female vocal/harpist, and the Hurdy Gurdy player. It's a common mistake, but people watch their videos and say "Oh look, flutes"! Those are actually Irish Tin Whistles.

[@mormacil]

There is a difference between flutes and whistles? My language doesn't differentiate them at all.

[@snakewhisperer1]

In terms of musical instruments, yes. In the broad definition of "whistles", I suppose a flute could be considered a whistle as a whistle could be many things: train whistle, boat whistle, etc. But in musical instrument terms, air is blown across the mouth piece and keys are used to "stop" the holes to produce the different notes on a flute. On an Irish Tin Whistle, air is blown directly into the mouthpiece and fingers "stop" the holes. They are two different animals.

[@mormacil]

@@snakewhisperer1 vehicle whistles and musical flutes use the exact same word in my language. So I'm curious how they're considered different?

[@laochnasolais5520]

!FINALLY! LOL. I am one of the few who have been asking for this band for a long time. I am glad you guys liked them. DO MORE :) . The female singer is actually the second female singer for the band... both are excellent. Yes Kel, the second "flute" in the was a steel whistle. I just submitted Eluvietie's Call of the Mountains via your website, so a little taste of the bands diversity.

[@deadliestassassin3092]

5 new members 2 fairly new, 1 older member, and Chrigel is the only original member. 9 total in this band.

[@SonOfGus09]

Inis Mona is their best imo.

[@mindtraveller100]

No, it´s not. It´s a typical Folk Metal song, good, but far from their best.

[@SonOfGus09]

Blah,blah,blah

[@bengagnon2894]

@@SonOfGus09 It's actually an adaptation of an old song from the central-east part of France called : J'ai vu le loup. Just so you know. You can still find this one to be their best, but it's kind of sad, considering they did not really create it and they have an otherwise huge repertoire.

[@carleckert6794]

Eluvietie...What do you play, guitar...you're in. What do you play, bagpipes...you're in. You, tin whistle, in. Ok. You, hurdygurdy, you're in..... Metal on grandpa's instruments. Love them.

[@righteous247]

This whole band shreds. I don't think they know how to make a bad song.

[@riadoc7001]

Hi Kel/Rich...got to try Call of the Mountains....

[@banderezztonylapore9493]

Nightwish army here to support and represent!!! Another of my favorite bands!!!

[@jamesnix078]

The old Eluveitie, with Anna Murphy is the best. After that there is not much to say, the songs before 2016 are the best, it was the best time of the band, the current Eluveitie is just a shadow and "band diva" than it was with Anna, Ivo and Merlin.

[@AnnoyingRedhead]

Saw them live just a couple of weeks ago for the second time. They're always great and it's really fun listening to them.

[@stevefromlondon4949]

Now will you do Cellar Darling - Insomnia?? They're made up of three ex-Eluveitie members, after all - Anna Murphy (vocals, hurdy gurdy, flute), Ivo Henzi (guitars), Merlin Sutter (drums). I've hashtagged it multiple times, I've put it on your website, I've begged, pleaded, written poems, made jokes. Persistence pays, right? :)

[@Eerielai]

I didn't like growls in the beginning, but now I adore them. To me they signal strength and power.

[@666MIHI]

the growling in this song feels more like a call to the gods somewhere in the mountains or battlecry, perhaps thats why it doesnt feel negative

[@johnd256]

Dont see many hurdy-gurdy players in death metal...or metal at all for that matter. Awesome.

[@Kanas83]

Michalina is awsome, Storm-Seeker for more Hurdy-Gurty

[@BryonAutry]

What you said about seeing the growling vocals as another instrument is 100% the right way to look at it. Same thing goes for singing in other languages you don't understand (which is another staple of the Folk Metal subgenre). Thanks for being honest, Kel!

[@scottmgagnon]

If you're looking for one more folk band to check out. Moonsorrow. "Huuto" would be a good track to check out.

[@mariolaubli3877]

Nice reaction of the both of you. Saw Eluveitie live yesterday back in Zürich Switzerland and yess, Rebirth was given on a high level.

[@madddog6790]

FINALLY! I like to think of these guys as a kick ass Celtic trad band that just does death metal :). Instrumentally, those "flutes" are actually the low whistle and the tin whistle in the Celtic trad world, also played by a certain Englishman in a well known Finnish band lol. From this album, there are a couple of songs that don't have much/any growling. Check out Ambiramus & Breathe, for example. They also have 2 acoustic albums that are awesome as well, with a lot less growling.

[@jamieburnette2438]

The former singer was Anna Murphy . She and 2 other former members of this band have a new band called " Cellar Darling " and you should react to either " Avalanche " or " Black Moon " .

[@truth4all01]

There is also an interesting info about them. Before some years the hurdy gardy girl with 2 more band members split to create Cellar Darling. This new band is more folk, more melodic, not so hard with no growlings. I love them both. Every band for different hours and mood.

[@MrErikbaan]

I am going to see this band live in November. Cant wait!

[@AR7ANIS]

Im still waiting for those 5 Trivium reactions you were gonna make four months ago. You loved the band :'(

Hii, did you guys know Floor, from Nightwish, is on a Dutch singing show? No? Well, it goes like this.. She is there with 6 other Dutch singers (the best of the Netherlands, as the programme is called) and every week there is one singer in the spotlight and they sing the songs of that person. We are in week 3 right now, so Floor has sung three times already! Once in German, once in Dutch and once in Spanish.. Curious? Here are the links to the three performances.. would be cool to see your reactions.. ;) 1. Vilja lied kzbin.info/www/bejne/opSveGiOZs5lh68 2. Mama kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZuUmpWQp8-EitU 3.

CH stands for Confoederatio Helvetica. This is the official *Latin name of the Swiss Confederation. The name was introduced after the creation of the state. In order not to prefer any of the four official languages (Swiss German / French / Italian & *Romansh), the country code of Switzerland is therefore CH ☺️ Loved your reaction!

I hate that people keep suggesting this song for a first time listen of the band. This song is really heavy and has a lot going on. A lot of people don't like it because they are not ready for it yet.

[@Marlfox570]

They have a US tour going on! I'll be seeing these guys next month live. You gotta listen to Inis Mona by them. It's classic Eluveitie.

[@thumper302]

I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but I will say it now, Unleash The Archers has a new single out with video! Northwest Passage. It is amazing!

[@zildjian4life433]

They have gone thru many amazing musicians over the years, but always seem to find more! This band is the real deal. I've seen them live and the mix between the electric and trad instruments is amazing! They even do full acoustic albums. Crigle always screams but there is such an amazing range in their music. All their music deals with the Celts. The rage comes from the strife of the Celts with their Roman oppressors.

[@iKozak99]

Eluveitie do such a good live performance. Saw them here in Australia. Spectacular.

[@osc6924]

3:31 how nice 😄

[@themetalgeezer5272]

'Rose of Epona' would have been a better song to do a reaction Video to.. To bad this isn't the true Eluveitie (no disrespect) since the male singer 'Chregal' is the only original member..... Since he is the founder and song writer of the band it's only fitting that he still records under the name Eluveitie.

[@johndeckard6592]

This isn't death metal.. but it's a good song. Some oldschool death metal try Nile, Cannibal Corpse and so on.

[@rockntom72]

Hi Rich and Kel, BTW I just wanted to let you know that the web address ending with .ch is for every website that is non-commercial has this .ch at the end. It actually stands for "Confoederatio Helvetia". The same ending like other countries have ".uk" (United kingdom) .se (Sweden).

[@wouko]

I must say I like the older stuff of Eluveitie when they where more folky/gaulisch and the frontman had less ego. When you start with FolkMetal, don't forget to listen to the foundingfathers; Skyclad.Great music, great lyrics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/horEh6SCorytmbc is one of those. The lyrics are social, political, personell or about killing nature. And in the start of the '90's. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJuym3Wjg9uEiNU

[@KaiPurge]

YAY!!! ELUVIETIE!!! I love them so much

[@tcish4708]

I'm with Kel on the whole scream/growl device. Very few instances or bands do it artfully enough to make it worthwhile - Jinjer, Amaranthe, and Epica occasionally do something interesting with it, and Nightwish uses it tastefully, unobtrusively, and to good effect, but I'm giving up on the rest of it. I don't dismiss it lightly, but I've tried to find something pleasurable about it and it's just not there for me. I don't need anyone to provide more angst in my life, I'm looking for more joy. Give me Heart Like a Wheel anyday.

[@sopwithsnoopy8779]

Great band, I got into them in 2010 with the album Everything Remains. Loved them ever since.

[@GhostlyCommando]

Thousandfold and Inis Mona HIGHLY recommended!

[@williambevins]

If you got a hurdy gurdy in the band you've got me hooked. I have heard this band before. I liked them a lot but didn't but didn't buy any of their music because of the growling. I agree with you Kel. I don't really care for it. I don't mind a little, like with Epica or Leaves Eyes, as long as it's just a small part of it.

[@nikelodeon6852]

That's a tin whistle not a flute. The other instrument which the woman was playing is a hurdy gurdy a very ancient instrument.

[@criwall]

Understand what you are saying about the death metal parts, I only recently started to like thegenre and then mostly when it's melodic death metal. Well put explaining your point. They don't do death metal all the times, many of the earlier songs are more traditional folk metal. If you want less (or no) growl you can go for Call of the mountain and if you want songs in gaulish go for epona or celtos.
