Flutist reacts to more...|Eluveitie, Aidus

[@cholatse6745]

Thank‘s very much for for this nice reaction again to „my neighbors“ 😊. Eluveitie is a great band and fire live as well. The band has found a wonderful way to fuse elements of our Celtic ancestors with heavy metal... the result is... yeah, haunting and beautiful. If you ever get the chance to see Eluveitie live, don't miss it. ❤ from 🇨🇭

That instrument is called "Uilleann pipes", it is in fact a bagpipe and the air is provided by a bellow under the right arm. Is THE bagpipe of Ireland but is played in Scotland as well.

[@LuckyDuke468]

Missed this one when it came out :O Nice analysis, once again you had some things to say about the track that i haven't heard other people talk about 👏

[@jp16k92]

The instruments you see at the beginning are Carnyx. They were used by the Gaulish tribes to frighten the enemies.

[@NittPicc]

Thank you for this!!!

[@marcbaur677]

The Romans adopted them and used them too.

[@lou7041]

Great reaction again! Would love to see Gwydion -Faun with Eluveitie

"Life will conquer, and reign beyond." As I understand it, Anu is a Celtic nature/mother goddess. The problem, as discussed in the verses, is that modern civilization has alienated us from the natural world--both physically and spiritually. (This was the theme of Exile of the Gods too.) This leaves us trapped in a meaningless superficiality ("a cog in a synthetical phantom Neverland") separated from a communion with a greater whole that could give us deeper connection and purpose ("latch-locked out of the presence of the gods"). This song is a call to battle and rebellion, to embrace our solidarity not only with each other but with the whole world to which we belong. We are flood, we are fire, we're the voice of the gods, and we must work to change humanity's broken relationship with nature before it is too late and we become her enemies. "Anu ascend the throne. Thy kingdom come."

Singer Fabienne Ermi also has another band called Illumishade. They stick to standard instruments for a metal band. I’m rather fond of songs like ‘Elegy’, ‘Enemy’, ‘Hymn’.

[@filipbozic4303]

Elegy has a bit of theremin for the flavor

[@trokoshea1]

I also like her collab with Morten in Mortemia. Probably the best track (Antidote) of the album. 🙂

[@davidmacfarlane1763]

@@filipbozic4303 I was going to add that its not a normal instrument, but its not ancient either.

[@glenngunnis6642]

It looks like Uilleane Pipes. Troy plays them in Nightwish.🤘🎸

[@trokoshea1]

This was a must, you did. My thanks, senorita. 🙂 The roots of Eluveitie are the gaulish tribe that was living on the current Switzerland land. The tribe is called (in French) the Helvètes. Eluveitie digged some texts from a dead language that is Gaulish and used scholars' help to get an approximation of its pronounciation.

[@TheAncientMetaler-1963]

So many great so gs from Eluveitie to recommend: Rose for Epona, inis Mona, Call of the Mountains, all are different and amazing.

[@davidmacfarlane1763]

There is indeed a version of the Bagpipes that don't require constant mouth inflation. Irish pipes for example do this, as do others. Traditional Scots pipes sure. Thats what I learned at School

[@LuisNunes-ps4sl]

The chant of the children that the men repeat is from an ancient gaulish tribe. I'm not sure, but it must have been preserved as an inscription. And yes, it was a war chant. Your celtic blood is calling, NittPicc. 🤗🤗😉 The celtic heritage of Switzerland is the reason for Eluveitie to exist. To remember it, to pay homage to it, to bring it back into the future. Or, as the band puts it in their own site about this song: "Definitely one of the harshest songs of Eluveitie ever. It's the sheer consequence of our spiritual journey with "Ategnatos": We're no longer a "Celtic Metal" band... a metal band singing about celtic history. We're Celts playing metal music from all our hearts. We're no more a "Pagan Metal" band. We are metal music playing pagans from all our hearts, gashing principles of our modern societies with our ancient message like a surgical blade. That's probably the best way to describe our new single. Deal with it!"

[@christophersims3319]

Those are Irish style bagpipes. No reeds but a pump under your other arm. Later Nightwish uses them a lot.

[@GenitalHogwarts]

Uilleane pipes

If you like this you'll love Scardust with Patty Gurdy "Concrete cages"

As a flutest, I suggest checking out the band King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard as the lead singer plays flute on some songs. They're a rock band that can play pretty much everything and at a top level, too. Their song Hot Water is a good one, especially the live version from Bonnaroo 2022. I highly suggest it.

[@iDEATH]

I want to remind you to check out Cellar Darling sometime (eventually, I know your queue must be long!). Former Eluveitie members who went in a more prog direction. I haven't heard anything of what they're up to in a while, but they have quite a few excellent songs from a few years ago.

[@prostfan]

Please also react to King by Eluveitie - has a nice flute solo. ☺️

[@Immortall1408]

Uilleann pipes, I believe, from Ireland.

[@cholatse6745]

Right - the Irish bagpipe

[@NittPicc]

Thank you!!!🙏🏼 I’m going to research now! ❤️❤️❤️

[@paulendo7816]

Please react to their song Quoth The Raven or to Ategnatos. Thank you.

SORRY BUT THIS REALLY SHIT. [ YOU HAD STARTED SO WELL WITH EPICA AND FLOOR JANSEN ]

The sh**** JPJ troll again, with multiple accounts just to spread cowsh** all over the channels. Back to moms basement, there’s a glass of warm milk awaiting you, I‘m sure

[@LuisNunes-ps4sl]

Typical toxic Nightwish Nursery bullshit. This is so far above the latest NW single it isn't even funny.

[@gedece]

It's better to say something like "this is not for me" than to try to be toxic, or recognize that the beginning was really good even if you didn't like what followed. I'm also not too fond of certain parts of the song, but really love the rest.

[@christophersims3319]

Don’t be a dick.

[@benjaminrider6351]

If you don't like it don't watch. Some of us really like this music.
