Did you notice she's singing that she is water? She stands next to 3 elements: fire, earth and air and with them she "gave birth to the world". Also she sings that she's freezing, kinda obvious there
Here comes the storm Fire was my faith Earth you were my truth Air you gave me life As four we gave birth to the world Now they choke me Disrupt me As I wither and dry up they're growing stronger The flames are searing through the night The ground beneath me is parting Tortured by the wind Brisk the storm embraces my wrath Sealing my waves Fire, wind and earth Flames I could drown Earth, you I held down Air, I made you cry Now I'm alone, they turned on me Now they haunt me They taunt me I'm old and weak so soon I'll be no more The flames are searing through the night The ground beneath me is parting Tortured by the wind Brisk the storm embraces my wrath Sealing my waves Fire, wind and earth Now it's winter, I'm dying, I'm dying Now it's colder, I'm freezing, I'm freezing The flames are searing through the night The ground beneath me is parting Tortured by the wind Brisk the storm embraces my wrath Sealing my waves Fire, wind and earth
First song I heard by Anna/Eluveitie was Omnos about seven years ago. It was so foreign to me. Offputting at first, but mesmerizing. I had to hear more of the band. Eluveitie became one of my first exposures to European rock, specifically folk metal. I quickly fell in love with the band. The passionate voices. The hurdy gurdies and other (Celtic?) instruments mixed beautifully with modern counterparts. The amazing melodies. The stories told through the music. To this day it remains my favorite band. So sad to see band members part ways. Obviously we'll never get to hear quite the same kind of music again, but it's good to know that the spirit of the band will live on in the people who made it. This new music sounds awesome.
tbh, I like Cellar Darling more than Eluveitie, I'm not saying I don't like Eluveitie, they are really above awesome, but this album has an overall shill, deep, sentimental, hypnotic feel to it that imo really is something else, I can't stop listening to it. Freezing is the right word, the whole album gives me a sense of coldness and freezing, the constant lyrical idea that they manage to translate into the melody with great melodic composition together with great lyrics.
"The hurdy gurdies and other (Celtic?)" - fun fact: the hurdy gurdy is the "upgraded" version of the "organistrum" which was invented some time around the 10th century in France.
I was sad to know they leave Eluveitie until I listen this faaaabulous new band. You rock, guys! I'm really impressed and happy for all of you. Best wishes from Brazil
First thing I thought was: Hey, that's that sword from Braveheart! ...well I kinda like swords. The music is very nice as well, did'nt expect otherwise.
I'm honestly digging everything about this song. Keep the real music alive Anna, Ivo and Merlin! Much love from the US!! Sharing this with all my music fanatic friends :)
"Flames, I could drown Earth, you I held down Air, I made you cry. Now it's winter. I'm dying, I'm dying Now it's colder, I'm freezing, I'm freezing." It is clear, she is water. The fourth element. A beautiful song!
Next time you better come to Poland as Cellar Darling! When I've heard Anna left Eluveite i was like "aaw noo..."" but then I found out about YOU, and then there was joy. Stay awesome! Pozdrawiamy! :)
I´m glad to ear your voice again in your new proyect Anna. Of course i´m not forget of Ivo in the guitar and Merlin in drums. Keep rocking. Salute you from Venezuela.
What a great sound! So there is life after Eluveitie ... the future is looking very good. And so happy to hear the hurdy gurdy in the mix Anna. Love the sound of that instrument. Best of luck and hope to see you in Vienna again soon.
This song is one of the best on stage, i was so anxious to see you play, i never waited so much to see a show. This album is perfect on stage, I would have loved to see water played before ! Wonderfully constructed album.
fantastic instrumental. Ivo and Merlin kill it as always! the vocals didnt really grab me till about halfway through, but when they did grab me i was hooked! Eagerly waiting for more!
Saw them at Wave Gottik Treffen, absolutely awesome - one of the best performances that day. Such nice folk as well - sold their own merch and happy to take fan questions and photos
You are one of my fav band! Saw you once in Italy (Insubria Festival). One of the best shows! Me and my bands really love your music! Hope to see you again! Stay metal stay rock\m/
You guys are awesome and the music that you make for us is awesome too ! But I have a suggestion, use like 1 or 2 more instruments in coming songs, I think that would be a blast with the sound you have now ! Cheers from Macedonia !
Damn, I remember when I fell in love with Eluveitie's music it was mainly because of Anna's instrument in "fire wind and wisdom". Same feeling now, same chills in the spine when I hear this song !
Definitely loved this song, Anna's vocal are amazing as always, with the perfect instrumentals got me hooked sorry if bad english but it isn't. My mother language

you got it lads
And, "Air, I made you cry," what an intelligent line to convey that message. Boss as fuck!
Fuck, that's amazing :D
Just came here to share my realization, in my defense I only found them a few weeks ago.
So you're saying she's wet?
I'll see myself out.
I expected it to be a video but the song is too cool, and I watched it (couldn't do anything!)
Here comes the storm
Fire was my faith
Earth you were my truth
Air you gave me life
As four we gave birth to the world
Now they choke me
Disrupt me
As I wither and dry up they're growing stronger
The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
Fire, wind and earth
Flames I could drown
Earth, you I held down
Air, I made you cry
Now I'm alone, they turned on me
Now they haunt me
They taunt me
I'm old and weak so soon I'll be no more
The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
Fire, wind and earth
Now it's winter, I'm dying, I'm dying
Now it's colder, I'm freezing, I'm freezing
The flames are searing through the night
The ground beneath me is parting
Tortured by the wind
Brisk the storm embraces my wrath
Sealing my waves
Fire, wind and earth
It's a rare to find a band that only makes good songs :)
Absolutely loved it!
Amen.
Oh, Anna!
Good times ahead the return of cellar darling to.the UK October 2022 get ready to welcome amy & ivo & Merlin back to the uk😎😎😎
From Malaysia! Hope I'll have chance to see you guys in Germany!

listen to the call of the mountain , and A rose for epona :P
Agreed
"The hurdy gurdies and other (Celtic?)" - fun fact: the hurdy gurdy is the "upgraded" version of the "organistrum" which was invented some time around the 10th century in France.
"we'll never get to hear..." That's my feeling when watching the call of the mountains, a rose for epona, king, inis mona... Great music!
I was sad to know they leave Eluveitie until I listen this faaaabulous new band. You rock, guys! I'm really impressed and happy for all of you. Best wishes from Brazil
I'm a little sad 'cause Anna leaves Eluveitie, but i'm happy with this new ban :D
Congratulations from Chile!!!
Das finde ich jetzt richtig gut. In Challenge muss ich mich wohl noch ein wenig reinhören.
Heard once - five years ago. And can't forget.
(And don't want to!)

Obrigado

I am a fan of METALLICA for ten years and I must say that this band is very much like Anna's voice is very beautiful a great future awaits them
Weird hearing this now when it's slightly different to the album version. Anna's vocal in the intro made me jump because I wasn't expecting it.
Perfect! I'm so happy with this new band!! Keep it up!
I really liked to hear her voice in Eluveitie songs. Gonna miss her.
But good to see that she has a new project. And cool one too. So thumbs up!
What a great sound! So there is life after Eluveitie ... the future is looking very good. And so happy to hear the hurdy gurdy in the mix Anna. Love the sound of that instrument. Best of luck and hope to see you in Vienna again soon.
I discovered you guys on a whim, just showed up in my suggested list. I'm a fan now!
Her voice I love

Just recently stumbled upon your music after listening to some Eluveitie. Love it! Affinity for the water element I take it? (; For me, it is air.
