Youtube ensures that all ad revenue goes to the original Artist/Record Label. This is how it should be and I’m very happy to support these Musicians. When I’m not working my full time job, I put most of my free time into making these videos and my dream is to build this channel into something special.

For that Anna Murphy fix, we all need from time to time, it's well worth checking out her current project called Cellar Darling 👌

[markhoward]

Anna Murphy has since moved to her own band Cellar Darling. Check out Black Moon where Anna does a Hurdy-Gurdy solo.

Seeing your reaction made me reaffirm how much this music and this scene influence us to find out about its place of origin. It's all very beautiful! It makes you want to get to know the country.

I'm almost becoming a fan of mountains. xD

Great reaction and comments from you!
Thanks for sharing with us.
Hug.

I love both styles from this awesome band. Their song Lvgvs is so amazing! Sung in a form of Gaulish, it is AWESOME!!!!

[hannabdn]

Awww Anna❤ I miss that Eluveitie era.. great reaction Thomas.. cheers

[Fabig]

They have songs in Gaulish, an ancient and extinct language spoken by the Helveti, the ancient tribe living in Switzerland until the Rome Invasion.
I think is that language you listened.
Next I suggest a very old one, "Inis Mona", sang only by Chrigel, no female vocalist.

Saw them before the pandemic play with korpiklaani, awesome show.

[timhutchinson]

This song is from about 8 years ago, I think. Rebirth is their newest lineup. If you want to hear what Anna Murphy (this singer) is doing now, I recommend you check out her current band, Cellar Darling.

😍Anna Maria Murphy😍Her era in the band is my favourite Eluveitie. Her voice is amazing, and she looks wonderful too. Even till this very day, shes only 32 so still a young stunner! Heard Rose For Epona yet? Thats another huge favourite song of mine. Did you know shes a singer, a multi instrumentalist (everyone in Eluveitie are lol), and even a audio engineer. Anna is the lady with a big L! Want to see her super young?! Eluveitie - Omnos. Super young and super cute. If you havent checked thoose out already that is 😁

[damianvc]

As I understand their style is more like the previous song, this is just a typical single more radio friendly as you said.
Still love this song and love Anna's voices...the band she and some other members started is called Cellar Darling, it's pretty good from what I've heard.

Great review Thomas! I am a Canadian that has lived in Switzerland for the last 25 years. I am very proud of Eluveitie as an iconic folk metal band that also sings in other languages. In fact there is a version of Call of the Mountains in Swiss German and some other songs in an approximaton of the ancient Helvetic tribes languages. The range of instruments is amazing and they are played by excellent musicians. The singer in this video was Anna Murphy who left in 2016 with 2 other band members and they now have a band called Cellar Dalring. The singer in Rebirth is Fabienne Erni and she has brought a new freshness to the band - she has a beautiful clean voice as well as growls.
The scenery in the video is of the Swiss Alps and a visit to those Alps is worth the dream of a lifetime - in real life they are toally breathtaking and are accompanied by typical Swiss well organized transport and accommodation, and efficient hospitality.
Thank you for including Eluveitie in your repertoire. I also equate them to a certain extent with the Wagakki Band(already reviewed by you) from Japan which also play traditional instruments in very appealing music. They are two of my very favourite bands.
I'm looking forward to your next videos - keep em coming! 🤘🇨🇦🇨🇭

I highly recommend their song 'King'.
That is their main style. And it is power.
It is fire..🔥

[timeonn]

I’ve seen them live in Zürich a few years ago and seeing people head banging to flutes and bagpipes was surreal (but really fun), and yes there were mosh pits :D

[davidkoblentz]

hurdy gurdy is what anna plays (the female singer), it is sort of a mechanical violin, she turns the handle and pushes buttons down that impact the strings so you can get massively cool reverb and sustain etc... anna rules, they broke up and anna with the bass player and drummer formed Cellar Darling who are excellent.. and the original band is still also awesome, just different, anna is a singular talent imo... her voice is insanely good like tori amos (check our anna's solo record)

[zanetpieterse]

Love this song! Great reaction as always!
Best wishes from Namibia! 🤘🏻🇳🇦🤘🏻

[LuckyDuke]

Dude i know i'm late, discovered you lately (like literally today) but yes, their more likely style is more like Rebirth, and you should seriously check their song called Ategnatos, in the same variance of Rebirth but add it some mythologic epicness i would say, you'll love it ! :D Thumbs up earned !

[thomasulverski]

The childs quire was propably singing in Gaulish. Dead language used by Celtic tribes. Eluveite used to sing in Gaulish or as I should say the most possible reconstruction of that language. The band worked with linguists and made own reserach to recreate the sound of Gaulish.
About their style. Their first two albums Spirit and Slania are more close to Rebirth with power and energy. Next album - Evocation I (2009) with it's continuation Evocation II (2017) are 100% folk albums. No metal. On the other albums they are somewhere in middle ground between Rebirth and Call of the Mountains. They keep great variety of songs, some more heavy, some ballads, some 100% folk, but IMHO the best representation of their late style with previos lineup (with Anna Murphy) is 'King".

From early years the most iconic song is 'Inis Mona'. I could recommend whole Spirt, Slania, Evocation I and Helvetios albums. IMHO are the best of Eluveitie. The last one is concept album that tells the story of Roman conquest of Gaul from Gaulish prespective.

[rolandmertens]

Hey Thomas! Enjoyed this one, liked 'Rebirth' better though, any time of the day 🤪! If I didn't know better, they'd struck me as two different bands, no doubt. But none the less a really nice song, bet it hits the charts in Switzerland. And dang, she's a cutie too! Must be the 'Alpenglow' 😉😀
Great reaction bud, see you later! I'm heading 'Northward' for a while 😉🎼🎶🔊🤘

[randalljones]

Both styles/eras are great.
Having a bit of Trad Irish background, I can attest that even the all-acoustic music is metal as hell.
btw, in an enclosed room, the uilleann pipes should be considered a lethal weapon, lol.
