@@sgfdgdfg3434 Also yes, but I would prefer Elizabeth reacting to the live version of her song Run, live at Lexington, or her one-take live cover of Sweet Dreams :) I'm hoping she does a video or live of her Lakmé cover as well. She rearranged the flower duet for a mezzo voice and gurdy instead of two female voices. That would be some real earcandy for Elizabeth :)

Hei Tank, I just put a suggestion in a comment to E today... from a gear standpoint, do you think it'd work? ... does she run line-level or instrument level into a M222? I dunno which to tell her, but I REALLY wanna hear the result !! If the level-adjust needs to be custom, I will design it up and make the pcb/pedal. Remember, I'm a dentist too, so I'm bound-by-oath to protect her oral space... no teeth-chipping like the original Heil Talk-boxes, lol. Dunlop vs MXR is another Q? Dunno which is more user-friendly.

I would object that few bands manage to be folk, although a lot have folk elements. For example, in my head I see Eluveitite as a melodic death metal band with folk instruments, but I don't think they are folk Edit: slight correction, their debut album Spirit probably crosses the line for me and I would define it as folk.

[@JamesDavis-ps6yy]

I can agree with that assessment. What's fun is different cultures' folk metal, like Mongolian folk, in the Hu or Tengris, and bhangra with Bloodywood

The song "Ategnatos" is a must listen after this. "Ategnatos" is the name of the album this. It means Rebirth in Helvetii. "Rebirth" is more of the outro track for this thematic album. "Ategnatos" is the song that kicks it off and it uses some of the same lyrics as "Rebirth:. Definetly worth a listen.

[@lemonadepack]

If you really want to get a good dose of Gaulish singing, you should check out another Eluveitie song: Epona. The few times I've seen them perform live, that song always got the crowd riled up the most.

Eluveitie has a ton of songs in mixed English and Gaulish or straight Gaulish. "Slania's Song" or "Epona" are both amazing. There are a ton of other folk metal bands that vary in how they make their sound but also feature mixed screaming and singing, check out Arkona for one, they're Russian with a vocalist who manages to do crazy gutturals and also angellic melodic singing (she's SO good)

[@andrewcarpenter3991]

Oh yes 'Slania's Song' is my absolute favorite folk metal song period. This is a very long song that is so good you don't want it to end.

[@coreyobrien8777]

[@rachelcalgaro6937]

Eluveitie is one of my favorite bands, I'm so happy to see you reacting to them! They have a huge focus on Gaul lore and references to specific regions, have many songs with Gaulish lyrics, and tons of imagery and stories from the Gallic Wars. Also hurdy-gurdy is the best, and their current player used to do hurdy-gurdy covers on KZbin before being recruited when their former player left

[@JeffTiberend]

"They're so cool is the initial reaction!" I love learning from you and your giggliness! You made me smile. Thank you!

[@criwall]

Great reaction as always. Eluveite is hands down the best live band I have seen and I didn't even know who the where when i got the tickets, they toured with a favorite of mine Lacuna Coil and was absolutely blown away. Most metal bands have drum or guitar solos, Eluveite have Hurdy-Gurdy solos, how can you not love that

[@criwall]

And if you want a recommendation for another video, you will probably have a lot to say about "The Pretty Reckless" and their song 25. The singer is Taylor Momsen former child actress (she was in The Grinch with Jim carrey among other things) turned rockstar and it's very clear music is her real passion.

I wish there were more reactions by her about Eluveitie. They're an absolute favorite of mine. The fact that seemingly the only song of theirs she reacted to is one completely in English is just such a tragedy. Not the fun mixed lyrics of Ambiramus nor the full Gaulish lyrics of Epona.

[@jeremyasselbergs169]

I had the pleasure of seeing this band in concert in Toronto a few years back. They were an incredible live act...and the audience was WAY into it. Very unique sound and excellent musicians!

[@ralflukas9695]

great reaction liked it a lot and yes it is a hurdy gurdy. Their main theme is Celtic history and culture in continental Europe and you can learn a lot about the Celts when you listen to the lyrics. Eluveitie mostly sing of the celtic tribe of the Helvetii who lived in the area of todays Switzerland, southern Germany and western Austria and was the first tribe that came under pressure when the Roman Empire started its expansion north and when the Gallic Wars (around 60-54 B.C.) started. The band had a lot of line-up changes during the years, the most impactful in 2016, when the previous female vocalist/hurdy gurdist Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter (Drummer) and Ivo Henzi (Guitarist) left the band and founded "Cellar Darling". Some songs with the current line-up you could react to are: "Breathe", "Ambiramus", "The Slumber", "Worship" or "Deathwalker" (live at Wacken 2019). With the previous line-up (with Anna Murphy on vocals/hurdy gurdy) I would suggest: "King", "Tegernako" (live at Summerbreeze 2008), "Thousandfold", "A Rose for Epona", "Alesia" or "Quoth the Raven" (video recorded in the studio) or "The Siege" if you want to hear Anna scream. But I think there are no official videos to "Alesia" or "The Siege" as far as I know. From their acoustic songs I would recommend "Omnos", "Brictom", "Desumiis Luge" (powerful, written and performed by Anna Murphy and Meri Tadic (former violinist who left in 2014), it is a curse of Helvetic women against some Roman leaders, unfortunately there is no official video for this one too) from "Evocation I: The Arcane dominion" and "Lugus" (god of Trade and craftsmanship), "Caturix" (god of war) or "Epona" (with Gaulish and English lyrics, at the end of this video there is a little explanation who Epona was) from "Evocation II: Pantheon". These two albums are more focussed on the Folk part of their style and the songs are sung in Gaulish, the extinct (since 500 AD) language of the continental Celts that could be reconstructed by using inscripions found at archeological sites from all over Europe. For more hurdy gurdy you could check out the channel of Eluveities hurdy gurdist Michalina Malisz kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ezY6SPobN1mtk . But PLEASE avoid her playthroughs or her early Eluveitie covers that she had done before she was asked to join the band because it would spoil future reactions. But you could check her "5riffs" series where she plays 5 riffs from famous bands (like Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden) on the hurdy gurdy. She has done a great cover of "Martyr" by August burns Red too kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6fWZGyQmradp5Y . There is also a video where she explains how she got to join the band kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmfdno2olsqqh7s. There is also a great interview with Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann (founder, male vocalist) and Fabienne Erni (female vocalist) which they did for the podcast of Beth Roars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2KXoXSvpKacf68 . Fabienne and Guitarist Jonas Wolf also have a side project called "Illumishade" thats worth checking out.

[@michaelhamilton8359]

Illumishade is a side band by their lead singer, Fabienne Erni, and their guitarist, Jonas. Please do a reaction of Illumishade's "Enemy". There's an interesting thing she does with her vocals at the beginning of the verse that has almost a squeaky (but in a good way--I know, you have to hear to understand), emotional way of singing that I haven't noticed from her before. Plus, it's a super awesome song!

[@konradstanczyk5158]

Fabienne is such an awesome singer, she also has her own band called Illumishade, where you can hear much more of her, it's really worth checking out! "Rise", "The Endless Vow", "World's End" are all fantastic examples of Fabi's talent

"This was my rebirth As one with pain and with distress Sweet surrender in serenity Will I remember this womb at all? Will I never know?" Celts were very into being reborn.

YOU HAVE to react to Slania’s Song. With a previous female singer, and with Fabiane (the current singer) Ategnatos and Epona are just phenomenal

[@craigcolduck2077]

Thank you again, Elizabeth, for another great reaction and for introducing me to 'Eluveitie' (and the hurdy gurdy) - Celtic / Gaelic Folk Metal (?). My father was a sailor of Celtic / Gaelic descent, so I grew up on pipes and drums, jigs and shanties, and this sound stirs some really (beloved) primal emotions in me, even though I've grown up on the other end of the planet. If you loved the combination of folk instruments and how each of them was given a moment to shine, I'd recommend Wagakki band - an eight-piece Japanese Folk Rock / Metal band, who do some awesome arrangements with traditional Japanese folk instruments and modern rock instruments (wadaiko drums - Kurona, shamisen - Beni, koto - Kiyushi, shakuhachi flute - Daisuke, conventional drums - Wasabi, guitar - Machiya, and bass - Asa), where all instruments are given a chance to shine, alongside Yuko Suzuhana's very distinctive shigin-style vocals. They have a communal composition approach, where the band member who comes up with the idea for each song leads the composition for that piece, but each instrumentalist arranges the segments or harmonies for their respective instruments. I get the impression that Yuko is the 'leader' of the band, but the styles of songs they play can be quite varied - ballads, dance, laments, rock, metal and jazz, rap - with each band member having a different mix of influences. All vocals are mostly in Japanese, with occasional English phrases. Below are links to live YT videos from concerts, (not sure of copyright status, but others have reacted to some of these). Their live shows are as high quality sound as their music videos, which are also visually stunning. I have some links to music videos for other songs, but the music videos for the live tracks are also quite stunning. almost all of their music videos are them singing and playing in various scenarios, but I don't know how real it actually is. Live concert videos: 'Homura' + 'Akatsuki no ito' (2015, 1st Japan Tour - most common YT video with two tracks: 'Homura' - instrumental intro - and 'Akatsuki no ito' - older track, their unofficial anthem, with a mix of traditional and modern instruments and Yuko's distinctive vocals, backed up by Machiya): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqDRhZV6ebKMoNk Akatsuki no ito (2019, Japan React Tour, rock, shigin-style vocals from Yuko): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHuodYqehZuEo5Y Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari (2018, Dai Shinnenkai concert - originally a vocaloid cover from their first album - very agile vocals from Yuko): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2G0g4OJj6mtqaM Tengaku (2020?

[@allanonskid]

If you would like some more Hurdy Gurdy and folk music I would definitely recommend Patty Gurdy featuring Faun “Luring” Very relaxing song with two great singers

[@Stator720]

Didn't read, saw Patty Gurdy, assumed you must mean this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3LEf51tjJl0gdE

[@Jacob-bi4so]

I have loved this band for years and I hope you do more videos of theirs especially Epona or Inis Mona.

[@enki4589]

So awesome!!! Thank you for revealing this to me!!!

[@lucas.tamaki]

Eluveitie's sound is so unique. They have a lot of reaction-worthy material. I would especially recommend acoustic versions of The Call of the Mountains and Omnos, but any of their songs would do tbh.

[@andreasstrom9648]

I love your enthusiasm and the way you approach different styles om music! Not only do you describe the technique of the singer(which is why I started to follow you), but you clearly know HOW to listen to music. This is a very underapprecieated artform and you excel at it. As a Swede it's fairly easy to distinguish Irish from Finnish folk musik, but I get why it's reminiscent to to you. I can't explain it, it's just a matter of tonality, rythm, or a general feel. I have no idea, it's just there :)

[@HeliodoroFG]

You should check out Eluveitie’s “The Siege” or “Quoth the Raven” live with their previous female vocalist, Anna Murphy, she sings and do harsh vocals as well.

[@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters]

Quoth the Raven and (Do)Minion are my favs from that album

[@trevordangberg7552]

great band. Seen them twice!!! SO GOOD !

[@juanandressuarezgonzalez9874]

Solid recommendation as a starter to Doom Metal is Orchard by Windhand Great guitar, ominous lyrics, Dorthia Cottrell's vocals are always great and a deep, heavy crushing sound with ambiance at a slow pace that feels like a car has been parked on your lap through soundwaves while still being accessible.

[@Gutenbergler]

Also recommend Khemmis, they’ve got a great mix of power meta of all things thrown into it and then Candlemass for the operatic vocals

[@moustiq77]

Thank you for exploring the magical world of the Folk Metal! Eluveitie is a gem, especially to see them live! Glad such fusion of genres fascinates you too, another brilliant example in this field would be Arkona from Russia with their amazing lead singer Masha "Scream" Arkhipova who is the best female metal screamer/growler in the world, combining with very traditional folky Russian clear voice techniques.

[@pieisnice9]

If you get on with this you should take a look at the previous singers new band, Cellar Darling. Avalanche, Starcrusher or Freeze would be my picks but they are consistently good, so literally any song would work. Also, there is a video on youtube called Rock the Classic: Eluveitie you should check out. It's about the combination of metal and classical music, and adapting a classical piece for a metal band. With your background you might find it interesting.

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

One of my favorite bands for many years now!

[@one42chrisp]

I miss the Cellar Darling trio these days, Anna Murphy is on a whole different level IMO! Saw them live a few years ago when Anna etc. were still with the band and it was a magical hour and a half. Now I must go listen to “Omnos” and “Inis Mona “😀

[@mfu3415]

Saw them a few times in the older and one time in this „newer“ constellation and have to admit: I definitely prefer the newer one.

[@sylbaryn]

Loved it. I was really hoping you would get to this. And I loved that you loved it too. Shoo boo be doo!

[@jyrwel]

It would be cool if you checked up Cradle of Filth, nymphétamine. Dani Filth, the singer, really knows how to write lyrics, creating own words and sing with so many voices it would be cool to see your reaction. A Ghost in the fog, is also a good one.

[@Svdgskjszgjsk]

Yes! Definitely her ghost in the fog, or Bathory Aria!

[@salamanderpete]

and a year later, you haven't been back! They have such a rich library of wonderful music, please go back and try some more!

[@vlad3526]

I "feel Avantasia - The Tower" would be interesting.

[@KyuubiNaruto82]

Man this is one of the most cheesy and overhyped bands in the rock landscape atm imo. But yeah I all subjective of course. The just trigger me every time :D

[@vlad3526]

@@KyuubiNaruto82 Partially you're right actually. There is just a great song with a lot of interesting vocal actions there. Just listen to this one, maybe you'll like it. Also, there is some Kiske.

[@annabelle4357]

I am so excited you discovered them!! I love them so much. I love Inis Mona ❤❤

[@sandrameyer9005]

Could you please react to Within Temptations 'Mother Earth'? I guess you would really like it, with it's playful sound :)

[@pete2v]

One of my all time favourite Within Temptation songs, would love to see a reaction to that.

[@mariocorelli]

Saw them live, incredible, and best mosh pit ever. People formed lines and folk-jigged into other lines. Inis Mona is my favorite of their songs.

[@monsieurdusnob3366]

Please consider AMORPHIS: The Bee ! I think you are ready now.

[@carnuatus]

Anything Amorphis with Anneke.

[@jonis023]

Wow.. have listening to that band all day. Thanx for youre react.. love seeing youre talant 😁

[@chacehorsman2615]

PLEASE DO MORE ELUVEITIE! Definitely "King". "Alesia", or "Antegnatos". Also, much of their melodies are based off of real folk songs. And the lyrics often come from gaulish and latin language folk songs. THEYRE SO COOL

[@chacehorsman2615]

Also, this is the last song on the album. It shares a similar chorus to the first song (Antegnatos) and the whole album is about that concept of death, zen, and rebirth. In other words, they fucking rule. \m/

[@daniellehurrell6620]

YOU NEED TO SEE THEM LIVE!😍

[@sachinsam479]

You should react to "Draconian- The last hour of ancient sunlight"

[@beniaminorocchi]

Jacobbson is the best growl voice in Europe imho. Would be cool to have another crossover episode with Kardavox

[@jacek_poplawski]

This is first time I hear this band, looks like I need to listen more to it :) thanks for teaching me good music

[@MissStateFan]

Please do Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail

[@Maedrya]

The voice from Hell, also called Russia !

[@MissStateFan]

@@Maedrya More like portal to hell. When he screams, demons and the devil himself comes flying out.
