YEES finally Eluveitie!! Such an awesome band from Switzerland. Check out "Ategnatos" and "King" both epic AF! Another beautiful song is "Call of the Mountains" with the old singer Anna Murphy.
@Sharksbreath I don't really think so. The band has a completely different history and other members left the band and new members came. However, I've been listening to their music for just about two months, so I am not an expert :-)
Funny enough, you find bandmates off TH-cam :D The flute player and the hurdy-gurdy player are both Eluveitie fans picked up off TH-cam...where the latter played Eluveitie covers xD
@@esaedvik No worries... I probably came across as a dick (didn't mean to, it's a bad habit) so appreciate your humble response. Once upon a time, I too called them flutes until someone corrected me... now it's become a pet-peeve of mine when I see people call them flutes. lol
Chrigel Glanzmann (male vocalist) is the heart and soul of Eluveitie, he started it as basicly a produced project because his idea of mixing metal and folk kept being turned down, so he invited musicians separatedly to play a piece and mixed it all together, he never found a vocalist to his liking so did them himself as a last resort, after mixing he let them listen to his end product, that got traction in the metalscene and from that a band was formed. And what a band it is ❤️
Instead of finding people to play certain instruments, they're more like "Oh, you play? Come join our band! Doesn't matter what you play! We'll write parts for it!"
A man meets two members of the band. He asks them: - What are you doing? - We play in a metal band. - Really, did you sing or play guitar? - I play the flute. - I play the violin.
So... Michalina, the hurdy gurdy player... Learned to play the instrument after getting into the band (her channel shows her transition from fan to member). She replaced long term gurdy/singer Anna Murphy.. Who herself learned the instrument after getting into an early incarnation of the band.
That is a Hurdy Gurdy. This band is amazing live! I have seen them with an older line up with Anna Murphy on Hurdy Gurdy and Vocals, Ivo on guitar and Merlin on drums, all now in a band called Cellar Darling. I have also seen them with this current lineup. I got to meet the new Hurdy Gurdy player Michalina Malisz, she is super nice. I was supposed to see them again September 25 but COVID19 cancelled that. Hopefully they come around again soon. 😁
Ahhhh - Welcome to Eluveitie! I don't even know how to classify them - so don't try - Appreciate the Metal they offer, the Celtic undertones, and most of all, just the melange of instruments into a medley of beauty, harsh and clear conjoined to deliver bliss. Bonus - they are this good live too!
Loveeeee Eluveitie!!! Together with Epica they are my #1!!! Love Fabienne she is such a great talented singer! All of them are so super talented. This band drives me crazy in a good way!! 😁🤘🏻
Hell yeah! Finally Eluveitie react! Yes! You must next song "Epona", "Lvgvs" (same album) and "Rose for Epona", "Alesia", "Helvetios" (Helvetios album), "Quoth the Raven" (Everything remains (As It Never Was) album). They sing in old Gaelic. And also song "Call of the mountains" is amazing :)
Thank u for reacting into Eluveitie :) Hard to find rare instrument musicians.. Well in Europe we do have few.. Hurdy gurdy is just over 1000 years old instrument (very rare & expensive since it must be hand build for each person specially. you can hear that played even in one of the Metallica's song :)
I don't remember what year it was but not long before Anna Murphy quit. I went to Sweden Rock festival specifically to see Eluveitie who played the last day. A few hours before they were supposed to play we get the announcement that they and another band are stuck at the airport in Denmark and won't make it. Turns out someone worked some magic, because they managed to get there just in time to play the very last show of the festival instead of the other band that was stuck. Well most of the band made it. They had to leave one member and like half of their instruments, including the bagpipes, behind. I think the show might have been better for it. Amazing contact between band and audience over shared annoyance and relief.
Check out some older stuff as well. "Call of the Mountains" and "Rose for Epona" are both good to start with. Glad to see y'all finally getting to them.
That weird box that played before the breakdown together with the flute is called a hurdy gurdy. The crank acts in a similar way to a bow on a violin. So by moving the crank you get a continous monotonous sound and by pressing down the buttons on the sides you change the pitch. In this case she moved the crank back and forth quickly wich gave it this tremolo effect.
The framework for this European metal thing going on, and which has been going on for some years now, could in it´s entirety be called Operatic Symphonic Progressive Melodic Euro-Folk Metal,- and you´ve only just scratched the uppermost thin layer of top ice of what is in fact a full blown clacier. The folk metal part is a sub-genre as diverse as there are different folk regions of Europe,- at least sixteen to my knowledge,- and only one part of the entire patchwork of styles and genres. If you decide to go into this,- you´ll be going deep down the rabbit hole,- ie. for instance Operatic Viking Folk ala Therion or Symphonic Melodic ala Delain or Operatic Goth ala Blackbriar or Italian Melodic folk Metal ala Furor Gallica...and so on.. It´s legion. Enjoy.
They are basically a celtic folk band and a metal band mashed together! Unlike anything else! Before you ask, that instrument is a hurdy-gurdy. Yes. You heard me.
oh you sweet sweet people, welcome down the rabbit hole, we are so happy that you decided to drop by :) \m/ once you think you are ready for something completely outside the norm, try taking a look at Heilung, maybe Krigsgaldr (LIFA live version) :)
The instrument you didn't recognise is a Hurdy Gurdy. This is from Wikipedia: "The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings. The wheel functions much like a violin bow, and single notes played on the instrument sound similar to those of a violin."
Welcome to the magnificent world of Folk Metal! Some other heavy hitters in the genre are Ensiferum, Korpiklaani, Arkona, Tyr and Turisas (just to name the more popular ones). There are honestly so many amazing bands in this subgenre that are lesser known and I hope you are able to experience them. I REALLY want to see you guys check out Arkona - "Goi! Rode Goi!" (the full version) to hear what you think of it! There is a music video for the song, but it's severely cut down from the original.
If you loved that, you should definitly check out Cellar Darling! They're three ex-Eluveitie members and have awesome songs too. I suggest "Avalanche" and "The Spell"!
Great job with the channel. Fantastic reactions! One of my favorites of Eluveitie is "inis mona". The backpipe is amazing. Hope you will check it out one day. Thanks.
Hey, you should definitely check out Tina setkic a French girl guitarist playing dragon force through the fire and the flames cover at 15 years old, awesome awesome thanks 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣✨💣✨✨✨✨💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣💣⭐️⭐️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⭐️⚡️💣💣💣💣💣💣💣
Not sure if I’d call Eluveitie “female-fronted” though. Fabienne and her predecessor usually don’t have all that much to do vocally compared to Chrigel.
Dunno if I can agree with that (and it kinda hurts me to say so because Anna leaving the band was nearly as heartbreaking to me than the Nightwish-Tarja breakup). But to me , Ategnatos is the best album Eluveitie did till now, and I really love what Fabi has to add to the band vocally. Also, Alain, Michalina and Jonas are absolutely slaying it at their respective instruments, so the only thing I still miss is the uniqueness Anna added to her songs with her wonderful, enchanting voice. Luckily, I have Cellar Darling for that :)
Get lost w/ that "lost a lot of quality" bullshit.... man, comments like that really piss me off. Fabi was an UPGRADE and their last album is easily their best. Michalina is also a better Gurdy player than Anna... just get over it man, Anna is gone!
@@xSOILBORNx no reason to be rude at all. I met Fabienne a couple times, and she's an awesome human. Sorry, if I have a different taste than you but I still prefer Anna.
![ROADIE REACTIONS | "Eluveitie - Rebirth" | [FIRST TIME SONG REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
ELUVEITIE the nightmare of sound engineers 😂
that would be Haggard
Yes. The festival stuff always seems worse than the fan shot smaller venue stuff.
YEES finally Eluveitie!! Such an awesome band from Switzerland. Check out "Ategnatos" and "King" both epic AF! Another beautiful song is "Call of the Mountains" with the old singer Anna Murphy.
"Song" Of The Mountains, or "Call" Of The Mountains?
I love Fabi doing King Of The Mountains live.
@@garyballard179 you are right thank you...I fixed it. It was definitely too early. 😄

Eluveitie- king
Hüp Swyz!
Funny enough, you find bandmates off TH-cam :D The flute player and the hurdy-gurdy player are both Eluveitie fans picked up off TH-cam...where the latter played Eluveitie covers xD
There are no flutes in Eluveitie... those are tin whistles.
@@xSOILBORNx Wrote the comment a bit too hastily and honestly, I don't really know much about said instruments. Thanks for the correction.

@@xSOILBORNx You mean the bagpipe player?
Lol welcome to pagan/folk metal guys!!!

Yesssss!! Welcome to the sound of Folk Metal/Celtic Metal.....they are aaahhmazing....thier sound is like no other band...every song is awesome...
Instead of finding people to play certain instruments, they're more like "Oh, you play? Come join our band! Doesn't matter what you play! We'll write parts for it!"
Gary Ballard yesss!!
Slipknot in a nutshell
I want to play a triangle solo for them.
An amazing Eluveitie factoid: they are as good if not miles better live!
I saw them live earlier this year and it was so good.
Folk metal, baby!
I love Eluveitie so much. One of my favorite bands. Got to see them live a year or two ago. They're insanely talented.
Just think guys they toured with Epica. Now we have to bring you Anna Murphy!
Cellar Darlng, yes
A man meets two members of the band. He asks them:
- What are you doing?
- We play in a metal band.
- Really, did you sing or play guitar?
- I play the flute.
- I play the violin.
- I play the hurdy gurdy
@@mannistef *man looking confused as hell* What is a hurdy gurdy?
@@cerberus01 The Medieval Instrument one woman is playing. Works by cranking a wheel. Some nice videos on it if you Google it
@@mannistef oh after I saw another TH-cam reaction, I looked it up because I just wanted to know more about the funny named instrument
Guess I should have added a hyphen at the beginning to make it a little clearer that I was continuing the hypothetical conversation
They are all amazing musicians. Live you can heard every instrument. I don't know how they do it but its amazing!
That funky instrument she was playing with the crank on it is a Hurdy Gurdy. Invented over 1000 years ago.
Fabienne's scream at the end! 🌶️🔥🔥🌶️🤘
You both just look so happy to watch this. I love this band and I can't wait to hear more reactions from you guys! Keep it coming!

And you’re absolutely right about finding the right musicians. That struggle IS REAL!

Well done, guys! Symphonic metal first and now folk metal! Keep up with all these amazing subgenres! Stay safe! Peace!
Loveeeee Eluveitie!!! Together with Epica they are my #1!!! Love Fabienne she is such a great talented singer! All of them are so super talented. This band drives me crazy in a good way!! 😁🤘🏻
My favorite band, I love eluveitie!!!!!!!! Please react to the song *havoc* or *the call of the mountains* 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😊😊😊
Kings of Folk Metal.
Also, you guys definitely should react to Diablo Swing Orchestra!
Epona is a great one... Its a Fabi lead vocal, but Chrigel's growls just blend in softly In the chorus like in the chorus here....
Check out their songs, King, Call of the Mountains, Inis Mona, the list goes on and on
Michalina Maliz the current Hurdy- Gurdy player, plays their songs, and some other metal stuff
Hell yeah! Finally Eluveitie react! Yes! You must next song "Epona", "Lvgvs" (same album) and "Rose for Epona", "Alesia", "Helvetios" (Helvetios album), "Quoth the Raven" (Everything remains (As It Never Was) album). They sing in old Gaelic. And also song "Call of the mountains" is amazing :)
Best Folk Metal Band from Switzerland for sure !

That must’ve been 2015. That was the first time I saw them live and I’ll never forget it.
Awesome!! I was going to donate for you to check Eluveitie out next. Great reactions from you two!
Saw Eluveitie and Epica together-best show ever
That instrument you asked about is called a Hurd-Gurdy. Irish folk metal baby :)
Check out some older stuff as well. "Call of the Mountains" and "Rose for Epona" are both good to start with. Glad to see y'all finally getting to them.

One of the BEST concerts I’ve ever seen. The videos are awesome but don’t do them justice.
Of Fire, Wind, and Wisdom is another great song
I love them so much. Almost as much as Nightwish.

I'll be honest: I watch your videos just for the pure joy on your faces when you discover cool music.
Hurdy-gurdy they are so good njce reaction
The instrument where you go "what is that?" is a Herdy Gerdy... Not even kidding. :P
Wrong.... it's a Hurdy Gurdy. (just saying)
This is Swiss Metal!!!!!!!
Subscribe from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾. Love your reaction of Eluveitie.
Eluveitie is the old name of Switzerland 🤟
You should see their former vocalist/ hurdy gurdy player Anna Murphy's band " Cellar Darling " and their video for Avalanche.
Eluveitie deathwalker
Elueivite Swiss Folk Death Metal and great band unique sounds
They are basically a celtic folk band and a metal band mashed together! Unlike anything else! Before you ask, that instrument is a hurdy-gurdy. Yes. You heard me.

P.S. Patty is on the new Aeryon album too.😊
Former Eluveitie singer Anna Murphy also is a hurdy-gurdist, and plays it with her new band Cellar Darling.
All my respect for Anna Murphy, but Michalina Malisz is doing a great job
@@AdolfoSalinasP
That's subjective. I don't really care for Michalina, so I don't listen to their newer stuff all that often.
@@seanmurphy637 Patty is playing with Alestorm too
Celtic Pagan Death Metal from Switzerland =)
best part "what instrument that even is O_O " and i was oooooooooh that is hurdy gurdy :D

OMFG somebody is suggesting Arkona, I've never seen that before on youtube at all :) I'm so pleased :)

"What is that?" That, my friend, is a hurdy gurdy
