Survival tip: If you ever find yourself lost in the woods, just look around till you find a metal band shooting their music video.

[@Memyselandi0509]

Thanks for the tip

[@heelgill]

Also in a desert.

[@ruy3467]

They are so good! Check out “King” if you want something heavier and more growls and a crazy violin + flute solo. “Rebirth” is also very heavy. “Call of the Mountains” for something softer.

[@ralflukas9695]

Nice reaction. These guys are one of my favourite bands. Eluveitie (El-Vay-Tee, the "u" is silent) was an inscription on an antique pottery found at an archeological site in Mantua (northern Italy). Mantua was an Etruskian city and the inscription possibly means, that this pot belonged or was crafted by a Helvetian person, because "Eluveitie" means something like "The Helvetian". The band plays Celtic Folk Metal using tin whistle, low whistle, fiddle, bagpipe, celtic harp, mandola, bodhran and hurdy gurdy and is a combination of melodic Death Metal and Celtic Folk. Their main theme is Celtic history and culture from the antiquity. The Celts lived all over Europe and were a pretty dominant culture until they were subdued by the Romans who almost eradicated all Celtic culture on the european continent. 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 (drums) and Ivo Henzi (guitar) left the band and founded "Cellar Darling" (check them out). Some songs from Eluveitie you could react to are: "King", "Tegernako" (live at Summerbreeze 2008), "Thousandfold", or "Quoth the Raven" (video recorded in the studio) with the previous line-up (pre 2016) or "The Slumber", "Worship", "Deathwalker" (live at Wacken 2019), "Breathe", "Ambiramus", "Ategnatos" with the current line-up. They have two pure acoustic albums too. Some of their acoustic songs I would recommend are "Omnos", "Brictom", "Desumiis Luge" (a curse of Helvetic women against some Roman leaders) from the album Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion and "Lugus" (god of Trade and craftsmanship), "Caturix" (god of war), "Artio" (bear goddess) or "Epona" from the album Evocation II: Pantheon. For "Epona" someone added Gaulish and English lyrics to the official video and at the end of this video there is a little explanation who Epona was. On these two albums 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 and parts (grammar, pronounciation) of languages that are of Celtic origin that are still spoken today, like Gaelic, Welsh or Breton. You could check out the channel of Eluveities hurdy gurdist Michalina Malisz kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5ezY6SPobN1mtk . She has done a lot of playthroughs and before she was asked to join the band she did a lot of Eluveitie covers, so PLEASE avoid these covers and playthroughs until you have reacted to the specific song because you would ruin 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 great interview with Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann (founder, male vocalist) and Fabienne Erni (female vocalist) which they did for the podcast of vocal coach Beth Roars: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2KXoXSvpKacf68 . Fabienne Erni and Guitarist Jonas Wolf also have a side project called "Illumishade" thats worth checking out.

[@Stellar73b]

Thanks for this! Eluveitie is one of my top bands forever! I did love seeing them a live 10 years ago here @ Finland!

[@bridgetmccracken1381]

Pronounced El-Vay-Tee :) . Next please react to their song "Rebirth"!!!

[@Larrybird696]

Their songs Rebirth, King, Lvgvs, and Inis Mona are some good ones to check out

[@allanonskid]

Definitely 2nd on rebirth simply for the smorgasbord of instruments

[@jo_g.germany]

Yeah, but rebirth and king are also the only ones that get reacted to, plus the call of the mountains. I own every song Eluveitie ever released, and I tell you there is so much more. I'm typing this wearing an Eluveitie t-shirt, which I also wore to my Covid vaccination today 🤘. When it comes to folk metal, it's hard to find a better band. Totally underrated, unfortunately.

[@DavidSanchez-tm6gg]

YEEEEEEES!! I second this!

[@redneck-ew1wm]

Also slania, omnos and thousandfold

[@allanonskid]

@@jo_g.germany My favorites are Quoth the Raven and Brictom personally. Just think that Rebirth is a great song to get people into the band more

[@underadeadmanswatch1966]

Eluveitie is amazing pure fucking folk metal hailing out of Switzerland they've gone through many lineup changes recently. The vocalist in this video is the amazing Anna Murphy she also plays the hurdy gurdy. 2016 she, drummer, and guitarist left formed a new band called Cellar Darling. Eluveitie does have 2 vocalist Chrigel (unclean vocals) generally is the main vocalist. Check out king or Thousandfold

[@nicksanfilippo9513]

they saw thousandfold during a lives tream

[@MrHistorian123]

Folk metal is huge in Europe (except for philistine Britain, which has some bands but they are little known). Eluveite, Tyr, Cellar Darling (which has the same lead singer as on the video), Cruachan are just some that are worth a deep dive. There are many, many more.

[@ktay7382]

Great reaction guys

[@emoshadowflamecreep]

When chels said flyleaf I was like bam I'm thinking the same thing I see you girl great minds think alike

[@timhutchinson8485]

Love this band! Celtic/folk-metal from Switzerland. The lineup has changed a lot over the years. “Call of the mountains” is a great one with this lineup. “Rebirth” is a great one with the new lineup. If you want more from Anna Murphy (this vocalist), I recommend her new band, Cellar Darling.

[@draagnipur8767]

Anna Murphy is fantastic. This song is my fav of Elu. Please check other band founded by three ex-Eluveitie members (with Mutphy) - Cellar Darling. Song for beginning :"Avalanche".

[@redonred2]

Welcome to the world of folk metal. If you want to check out another good one with Anna Murphy as the singer I would recommend: " The Call of the Mountains" or "King". For options with the new singer Fabienne Ernie "Rebirth" is obligatory, "Ategnatos" is excellent as well. Cough "Meet the Enemy" is hard as fuck and no one's covered it yet Cough

[@damiengrief]

Elveitie (pronounced El-VAY-tee) is one of my favorite bands. Folk metal is an awesome genre. Definitely recommend that you check out more of their stuff. They have way heavier songs, too.

[@juanchibrossa8569]

Eluveitie - Rebirth has to be next! Awesome reaction, as always! Cheers from Argentina :)

[@tralhas]

You should check Cellar Darling. Anna Murphy's (the vocalist) current band.

[@dmphax]

I saw them perform this song live with Anna (vocalist you see here) and it was mezmerising!

[@user-vu6bo2mm7o]

I LOVE THIS SONG ❤

[@chrisscott820]

Sad day lol. Sunday suggestion Orbit Culture - Rebirth

[@brentanton7466]

The female Singer has her own band now called Cellar Darling with a former Eluveitie guitarist.

[@colinnugent6580]

I was wrong on who you both were going to compare her too. I thought you would say Dolores from the cranberries who is known for the high yodels!

[@20irishman]

This is the first song I ever heard of Eluveitie. They are my favorite folk metal band. The Call of The Mountains is another one to check out

[@markhoward2811]

Anna Murphy's new band Cellar Darling - Black Moon. Myrath - Believer. Skindred - Nobody. Kontrust - The Butterfly Defect.

[@MegaDog555]

They have a new singer now and a lot of new members and yes 2 singers

[@dewaalvandercolff251]

"Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire" reaction please. The new vocalist is amazing

[@chrisscott820]

They’ve already recorded this and it’ll be out soon

[@dewaalvandercolff251]

@@chrisscott820 awesome thanks

[@brentanton7466]

Love Eluveitie

[@klauss.4638]

Good reaction as always. Please do a reaction to "LACUNA COIL - Trip The Darkness (OFFICIAL VIDEO)"

[@QuarkStorm]

Ex Libris - The Courtship Dianne van Giersbergen has one of the expressive voices in the Female fronted Symphonic metal industry. She's also Xandria's ex singer. Her voice is a must listen in this life ♡

[@ricardosilva-cy3xe]

In Flames - Take This Life

[@carloscervantes8625]

Eluveitie rules!!!!!!❤❤❤😍😍😍😍🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@danielklein5762]

I love the song Celtos from Eluveitie. Inis Mona is an good old one too. Or Slanias song.

[@wannabedane4046]

Great you liked it. Most reaction I've seen start wieht Rebirth, also with the current lead vocalist - check it out.

[@mF--H8]

Monolord Last Leaf

[@RacuvarSepredia]

You should react to Psyclon Nine - Parasitic for something very different and industrial/aggrotech! It's an older one but it's definitely something that would be interesting to react to! If you ever do, there should be a strobe light warning added....

[@fritsyt2090]

This is an awesome song but as some mentioned, this is with the old line-up. If you guys would like to check out their newer stuff with the current line-up than you should really react to Rebirth, Ategnatos, The Slumber, Epona, Worship and Ambiramus (all of them have official music video's). Some of the songs are really heavy. All the songs are with Fabienne Erni she is one of my top favourite singers with Floor Jansen and Simone Simons. Btw Eluveitie is my most favourite band together with Epica the best symphonic metal band in the world, I can't choose between the two haha 🤘🏻

[@RoguSpanish]

Man, if you liked this, especially the singing, you gotta check out Cellar Darling, Anna Murphy's new band where she's the sole singer. In my opinion, they blow Eluveitie out of the water, and I like Eluveitie! The new Cellar Darling song "Dance" is a goddamn masterpiece.

[@jamesnix078]

Anna Maria Murphy, the original vocals of Eluveitie, the best. Cellar Darling is the actual band of Anna.

[@fredrikschuster]

It's my favourite band! I would suggest: * Rebirth (hard) * King (powerful harsh vocals) * Ategnatos (epic) * Sleepwalker

[@MegaDog555]

Eluveitie rebirth

[@Leetsch]

Suggestion for Suggestion Sundays: Varg - Fara til Ranar

[@vanaerth]

Can you react to the song "memories" (gloria victis) of a mexican band called Mutum?

[@viruzmusic3028]

I can suggest "The Call of the Mountains" or in my mother tongue "Dä Ruäf vo dä Bergä", if you haven't listened to it :) Greetings from Switzerland!

[@MegaDog555]

If you like Crypta you’ll like burning witches witch of the north video

[@bjhellstream]

Her vocals sound a lot like Kate Bush in parts. Try Rebirth for some harder sound but still with flutes and other folk instruments. Eluveitie are swiss for Helvetia, the original name of Switzerland.

[@MegaDog555]

My suggestion is one of the 3 new Crypta songs for echoes of the soul

[@Deato9000]

Hope y'all check out their song Call of the Mountains

[@killerpeaches7]

Folk Metal kiddos, welcome to where madness begins in all it's glory. Pronounced El-Vay-tee (Eluveitie), and EE-poe-nuh (Epona), just for clarification.

[@CatspawAdventures]

Actually, I can hear the comparison to Alanis Morissette--particularly in the way she "flips" her voice on the highs, that's quite distinctive.

[@lillihartman9802]

Swedish folk metal 🤘🤘

[@arisandyjayadi2786]

this is an old song buddy, try rebirth or epona~ damn so epic song they have there. crazy if i can say

[@christophersims3319]

Must do rebirth

[@ShadowhispersBand]

Great band, great live band. Rebirth, King, Iris Mona, Call of the Mointains are orher great songs. For more Alanis Morissette 😉 check out the singers current band Cellar Darling, as Eluveitie habe a new singer.

[@Beanes789]

Sold Soul- For Whom The Banshee Cries

[@celtic9935]

Plese react to Cellar Darling single( dance) the new band of Anna Murphy (ex Eluveitie)

[@misternebojsa]

yup european folk metal cant beat it

[@MADNESS_NH_97]

Please react to "Feeling B - Langeweile". Feeling B is a band that Christian "Flake" Lorenz & Paul Landers used to be part of, before Rammstein. And to more specific, this is one of three songs(the other two are called "Herzschrittmacher" & "Hässlich") that was recorded solely by Flake & Paul in 1992, for a planned 4th album of the band, that was never released. But those 3 songs were later released as part of a Feeling B compilation album in 2007. Since you reacted to a lot of Rammstein songs, and some of Till Lindemann's work, it might be interesting for you two to check out some of the Pre-Rammstein stuff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poSkeJxtottpnaM Here are the lyrics translated into English: lyricstranslate.com/en/langeweile-boredom.html

[@SaulTyre]

Cool Celtic/Death/Folk Metal band, Anna Murphy is of Irish descent(Father), checkout The Call Of The Mountains Live guys. EPONA is a Gallo-Roman Goddess, she ensured the fertility of the breeding stock, nurturing and protecting the mares, stallions and foals, just thought I'd drop that in😴 EDIT: my Sunday suggestion is Finnish Heavy Rock band One Desire - " After You're Gone" - Official Live Video ..thank you🤘

[@christophersims3319]

Anna has been replaced by a much more gifted singer, the fans really like the new girl but we also loved Anna so it’s kind of like two different bands in a way. The female singer only does about 20% of the vocals in the band. Got to listen of more to get the full version. Rebirth, thousandfold, king are good next steps

[@fritsyt2090]

Loooooveeeee Fabi !!! 🔥❤

[@zahrans]

@@fritsyt2090 Yep, love Fabi!

[@xiami11]

LMAO did this guy call Fabi a more gifted singer than Anna, man must be hard not having ears i guess, plus she left on her own Fabi is nice and all but live she can't hold a candle to Anna, she most definitely can't hit the high notes in this song

[@christophersims3319]

@@xiami11 yes I did. Fabi, has a wider range, can hit notes Anna can’t. Her voice is very much in the vain of Celtic folk singers. Love Anna, I miss that line up. But Fabi is a more gifted singer.

[@xiami11]

@@christophersims3319 so why is it that when she's singing Anna's songs live, like this one, she can't hit the notes in "weak" and "sere" for example? i thought she had "wider range" and is a "more gifted singer" it's hard to compare Anna to Fabi cause Anna doesn''t sing Fabi's songs, but you can easily compare Fabi to Anna since she does sing Anna's songs and when she does she can't hit the notes, simple as that
