By the way, the melody at 3:05 is taken from a piece called "Am monadh ruadh" by the Scottish piper Calum Stewart. I love how Eluveitie still incorporate Folk melodies in their music.
Fabienee‘s switching from that high note to that desperate sounding scream at 4:28 always gives me goosepumps. You‘re so awesome, one of my favorite singers ever for sure.
There are no old gods or new only one always and the truth is and always has been the truth (God) as there can only be one truth, not two. Play for neighbors tho, that I encourage 😀 God Bless John 14:6
I will never understand how people screaming at the top of their lungs can be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard......but dam do I fuckin love it!
@Solid Water Yes, I know how to metal scream, I've done it myself for about 10 years actually. I just thought it was funny when I thought about it like that.
Do you do power fry or false chords? I've been doing false chords like I'm a deathmetal singer on tour for about 7 years now, yet I simply can't get my head (literally) into vocal fry :d

Forest, very peaceful place where lives deers, squirells, foxes and metal bands. Shhhh see out there? We can see one of them making the video. We must be really quiet not to startle them.
I loved their older songs from before Helvetios... going back and listening to those songs like The Siege and Havoc that I adore... I can see how much these guys have grown musically. What they produce now is truly beautiful.
1) Fabienne - is freaking goddes! 2) That Rebirth stuff at the begining - really cool sounds before new song 3) The song is gorgeous! It's sick! It's amazing and more words, that cannot describe how good it is!
I just started listening to this band. Can you tell me if the lead singer changed. The girl that sang The Call of the Mountain looks dif. Thanks for the info.
Eluveitie have changed their lineup and their face and they are going back to their roots. They sound new and fresh again without cutting the strings to their beginning. Their two new videos are amazing and I feel as I was listening to them for the first time. Fabienne is a really good exchange for Anna. I think to find a better match would have been very difficult. I loved Eluveitie with Anna but I think I will love Eluveitie with Fabienne again. Go on like this Eluveitie... Rock it! 🤘🏻
It still sounds (and especially looks) like a bad Nightwish/Within Temptation clone plus some random and bad flutes. Please give me back the Eluveitie of the Kirder brothers...
Hi Ronny. New listener to this band. Was Anna the one that sang Call of the Mountains??? I love that one first song I heard by them actually. Do you know why she was replaced? Or is she the new girl Fabienne? Thanks so much!!
@@kristig60 Hello Willow Wren... Yes You're absolutely right. Anna Murphy was the female singer and Hurdy-Gurdy player. She had an amazing voice and "Call of the Mountains" is one of my favorite songs too. As far as I know some of the members - Anna, her boyfriend Merlin Sutter (drummer) and Ivo Henzi (guitar player) - left the band in 2016 because of musical differences (can I say that? musical differences?). They formed a new band "Cellar Darling". But the music of this band is totally a different one. In the first time Anna had left, I thought I could never listen to the band again, but I think the voice of Fabienne, the "new" female singer, fits very well to the music too. After they published the new videos, I'm happy to hear more of them soon. I hope you will like the new album too. I hope I could answer your questions. My English... I hope you understand everything. 😉 I wish you a very nice day!
I'm one more of them! 😁🇧🇩 Last time when they were coming to Bangladesh, I was too excited because attending their concert was one of my bucket list and it will happen in Bangladesh, but did not happen at the last moment 😔
I strongly believe sound stirs people's mind. Everytime I listen to eluveitie music, I go on to live in a cimpletely different universe. Thanks eluveitie for such compositions.
PROUD to say it took me THREE full listens before I could even fully appreciate the glory of this song's subtlety and complexity! Ingenious... It brings tears to my eyes to see Eluveitie making it this far! Thank you Nuclear Blast for believing in Eluveitie, even when no one else would! We love you!
This song manages to bring together very different musical concepts with remarkable ease. In my opinion it's one of the best songs of Eluveitie and Folk Metal more generally.
O bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee O ye amber golden light Let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, o nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness When nothing is left On the winnow fields They beheld the gate Trembling with fear And afraid to forfeit Anxiously They clinged to table scrabs As if to aver Their deprivation And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies A fool is the slave Who fears not his fetters But watches over them with jealousy On the winnow fields They beheld their lives Paralysed with fear In the presence of the Vergobret So they cherished Doctrines of denial And wallowed In poor men's tales And the swine crowed round The shining lot of pearls Just like the vultures Grave cadaveric flesh With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies With empty hands The high king reigns Nothing but light The raven flies
I never thought Eluveitie would be the same after Anna left. But thank you so much for proving me wrong! Eluveitie is back to their old self with a new line up!

New stuff from Amon Amarth, Avantasia, BABYMETAL, Beast in Black, Demons&Wizards, Dream Theater, Eluveitie, Equilibrium(highly possible, at least Rene posts enough pics from his "studio setup"), Scar Symmetry, Tool and a few i might've forgotten cause of too much hype!! i can already feel the huge blow my purse will take..

fuckin rights blast it
I will turn the volume up aswell. :)
He hears it and will be watching over you forever. ♡
0:00 - 1:48 gives me chills. Can't progress to the rest of the song because I keep listening to that over and over.
By far the most beautiful part... It's a bit sad it changes to the harder part.... I would have left that out and leave the song softer
That's just a small part of another one of their songs, Rebirth I think, so go and listen to that one !
can someone trasncribe the said lyrics of that part?
Listen to the first tracks of Helvetios. It’s got similarities which makes me happy as that was the first album I heard from Eluveitie.
After that moment the song got much worse 😞They should keep that guy away from the growling
Fabianne is amazing! We are so lucky that we interviewed her for our channel.
This band deserves so much more recognition than it receives. Amazing piece of work 💕
I swear to the old gods and the new that my neighbors shall listen to this eargasmic masterpiece.

Shhhh see out there? We can see one of them making the video. We must be really quiet not to startle them.
Fortunately, observation of metal bands in the wild is easy, as most species are born deaf.
There we see a storm cloud forming in the distance. This often calls them to perform. Let us see if they will answer the call.

What they produce now is truly beautiful.
Got goosebumps everytime I hear this. Thank God for Eluveitie.
I love the nod to "Rebirth" at the beginning. Sounds absolutely wonderful!
That's because the song's name is rebirth in gaulish.
One of the most eargasmic songs I have ever heard.
I don't care what anyone says this is epic the video is pleasing to the eyes and he has come a long way with his voice. Happy to see them back at it.
this would be 10/10 without the folk instruments, but is 8/10, not fucking bad

O bright sun of the night
I lift my eyes up to thee
O ye amber golden light
Let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, o nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness
When nothing is left
On the winnow fields
They beheld the gate
Trembling with fear
And afraid to forfeit
Anxiously
They clinged to table scrabs
As if to aver
Their deprivation
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies
A fool is the slave
Who fears not his fetters
But watches over them with jealousy
On the winnow fields
They beheld their lives
Paralysed with fear
In the presence of the Vergobret
So they cherished
Doctrines of denial
And wallowed
In poor men's tales
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls
Just like the vultures
Grave cadaveric flesh
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies

Holy fuck...now I'm convinced, this is the best lineup Eluveitie has ever had. I cannot wait for this album.
That voice!? Zoltan Chivay ...my old friend!
My favorite song off this album, so good. The end when Fabi turned into a raven with her last vocals and the instrumentals, omg, CHILLS..
They've came a long way since "of fire, wind, and wisdom" and do I love it
All I can say is Wow!!! Freaking WOW. The special effects you guys used are so beautiful! I love your symbolism with the raven and the volcanoes.
I directly fall in love with it the first time I listen to it

Eluveitie - Ategnatos
O bright sun of the night
I lift my eyes up to thee
O ye amber golden light
Let the dark sweep over me
Mighty cauldron, o nidus
I surrender all to thee
Panacean nothingness
When nothing is left
On the winnow fields
They beheld the gate
Trembling with fear
And afraid to forfeit
Anxiously
They clinged to table scrabs
As if to aver
Their deprivation
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies
A fool is the slave
Who fears not his fetters
But watches over them with jealousy
On the winnow fields
They beheld their lives
Paralysed with fear
In the presence of the Vergobret
So they cherished
Doctrines of denial
And wallowed
In poor men's tales
And the swine crowed round
The shining lot of pearls
Just like the vultures
Grave cadaveric flesh
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies
With empty hands
The high king reigns
Nothing but light
The raven flies
I was crying by the end of this, geezus
Simply one of the best songs on the internet today. There's no way around it. To deny the sheer wonder of Eluveitie is to deny life itself.
