About the Artist

Eluveitie, hailing from Winterthur, Switzerland, are pioneers of the 'new wave of folk metal'. Formed in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann, the band masterfully blends the aggression and intensity of melodic death metal with the rich tapestry of traditional Celtic and European folk music. Their signature sound is characterised by the prominent use of traditional instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, fiddle, and tin whistle, interwoven with driving guitar riffs, powerful drumming, and Glanzmann's distinctive harsh and clean vocals.

Their lyrical themes often delve into Gaulish history, mythology, and ancient Celtic culture, bringing forgotten stories and legends to life through their music. Over the years, Eluveitie has released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 'Spirit' (2006), 'Slania' (2009), 'Everything Remains (As It Never Was)' (2010), 'Helvetios' (2012), 'Origins' (2014), 'Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion' (2018), 'Ategnatos' (2019), and their latest offering, 'Divico' (2021).
