Eluveitie is such an important band, they've allowed for so many other acts within the genre to see real success over the years - fantastic musicians too, with so many good songs.
They've also made gigantic contributions to the reconstruction of Gaulish as a language, and raising awareness about it. They're famous among linguistic archaeologists.
They are incredible. I am in the states and they had a show scheduled here in October. Sadly, it was cancelled. I would have LOVED to have caught them live.
The hurdy gurdy is an intrument from the middleages it has a wheel inside vibrating the strings creating a very intresting sound. As a side note: The dude who was on the mic does not know any sheet music yet can play quite a range of instruments.
@@d4n4nable I kind of had the same thought. It is one of those things you are pretty much born with the ability to do. It is not something that is really learned. The people who can't do that learn to read sheet music xD
It's the folk way: you mess around with instruments and learn the tunes by ear. I don't know how much innate talent goes into that, but folk musicians have been doing this for centuries, so it's a nature vs nurture kinda deal, imo
Anna Murphy was the original Hurdy Gurdyist, was prevalent on The Call of the Mountains,done in English and Swiss is amazing. She is in Cellar Darling if you need more Hurdy Gurdy 🤘 aslo Eluvietie is on tour in the US end of summer
Absolutely. Cellar Darling's new album is a great progressive concept album, Anna even wrote a piece of fiction for the album (which she reads the audio book)

I was at this show... It's the Summer Breeze Festival in Germany in 2017 & a couple songs later it rained sooooo much while were their playing. But who cares when good music is playing
The instrument is the Hurdy Gurdy other bands like In extremo, Tanzwut and Faun often use it in their music too; these guys are fantastic and I would highly recommend checking out Korpiklaani too. Thank you for a wonderful reaction as always. 😊
Instrument is a hurdy gurdy, a very old instrument popular during the Medieval ages. The language is Gaulish. An ancient "extinct" Celtic language most commonly spoken during the time of the Roman Empire.
how did i only see that right now?? this band is amazing, they're from my hometown and it's just crazy to see how big they are nowadays... they're from switzerland, so not scandinavian. they sing in various languages, including gaulish, but also english
Eluveitie is Swiss, they're singing Gaulish (sometimes dubbed Gaelic Celtic), the girl at 3:40 plays a Hurdy Gurdy, and you should definitely check out more of their songs; like Omnos, Inis Mona or Ategnatos. ;)
Love the song! Indeed a rather atypical song for Eluveitie, as most of their songs rely more on Chrigel Glanzmann's screams and have a more profound death metal-y sound. The instrument is a Hurdy Gurdy, see it as a mechnised violin meeting bagpipes. Keys are used to shorten string as the turning wheel goes against them, a bit like a violin and bow. It also has bourdon strings (don't know if this term is also used in English), a constantly sounding string providing the key or kwint, as you also have the constantly sounding note in the bagpips.
That instrument you asked about is a Hurdy Gurdy c: The previous female singer of the band plays the Hurdy Gurdy and now has a band called Cellar Darling, I suggest to give them a listen, she's amazing live c:
I love all the band members from Cellar Darling but I actually don't like Cellar Darling itself very much, I think they were much better represented as musicians on tracks like Call of the Mountains and Slania's Song (for vocals) or King (for instruments).
@@HaibaneRakka571 well, Eluveitie's sound is more rich because they have a huge amount of instruments, so the impact is more powerful. Cellar Darling is "darker" and they are only three of them, but yet managed to produce a fresh kind of folk-rock, which I personally like c:
I saw Eluveitie live in Brisbane in a really small venue and Jesus Fucking Christ that was the best show I've ever been to. They were absolutely phenomenal and Fabienne was goddamn flawless for the entire set.
Probably people already told you, but: - I LOVED you guessed it was "Celtic-y" before you listened. - The language is reconstructed Gaulish language. - The instrument you mean, it's the hurdy-gurdy. Pretty popular in European Folk Metal and Pagan Folk bands. - This song belongs to their second acoustic album, "Evocation II - Pantheon", in which each song is devoted to one Gaulish deity, Epona (probably meaning "Great Mare"), is a goddess of horses, cavalry, beasts of burden, fertility and sovereignty (despite being worshipped in farms and so, according to various authors of the time, she was deemed "Rigana", Queen). - Their songs are usually more metal, from melodic, sweet/dark tunes that are led by female voice, to death metal-ish songs (with folk instruments still) where harsh vocals are exclusive, or combines with female vocals. Great video, Beth, I really enjoyed this one!
Tommy Karevik is more expressive in his other band Seventh Wonder than he is in Kamelot. He tries to sound like Roy Khan while he's singing in Kamelot, in my opinion.
Eluveitie - A rose for Epona Eluveitie - The Call of the mountains Both with their ex-singer/hurdy gurdist Anna Murphy currently in Cellar Darling Cellar Darling - Challenge
Hurdy gurdy. It's a wheel with horse hair like a violent bow that rolls across catgut strings (made of plastic nowadays) and has presses like you'd pinch strings on a guitar. It has an almost bagpipe sound but is more like a constant violin. Eluveitie is an awesome band. Saw them live, outstanding performance.
Have you considered reviewing Cellar Darling? Lead vocalist is Anna Murphy, Eluveitie's former female lead singer. The band consists of the former members before Eluveitie had broken up.
I’m a bit late to viewing but wanted to add a few additional comments to what have already been shared. Spite what you heard they actually do play some metal music that wasn’t showcased in this song. I would recommend the songs Rebirth or Ategnatos from their latest album. Her vocals really shine more and so does the metal. As others have written, the instrument is a hurdy gurdy. There are a few similar artist that utilize it, FAUN, Omnia even Apocalypse Orchestra use it. All of which I think you would enjoy if you liked this. Michalina of Eluveitie has a YT channel called Helvetion and Patty Gurdy of Storm Seeker also has a YT channel. Both are usually pretty active on social media. Perhaps an interview? Lastly, I’m really enjoying your content. Looking forward to seeing more.
Oh my gosh I love Eluveitie. I have been so interested in foreign bands for years now. I would recommend you do a reaction to The Unguided a Link to the past, however there is a lot of screaming from a different vocalist. Lol. Btw I absolutely love your reactions. And may look into vocal lessons in the future as I am a vocalist myself and would love to get better.
Eluveitie uses a mix between English and traditional Gaulish language, along with using more traditional Celtic instruments. The one in question with the 'windy thing' is a hurdy gurdy, and is used by many artists in the folk or Celtic genre.
I so enjoy your, reactions, Beth. Especially when it's to a band like Eluveitie, whom I thoroughly enjoy, myself. Though this was a great performance by them, I was disappointed in the quality of the recording. Like you noted, it sounded like some of the instruments weren't mic'd, or something, which took away from the richness of the music. I'd love to see you react to some more of their music. How about something that really shows more of a mix of metal and folk? How about Rebirth? That was the song I was introduced to them with, and it blew me away!
As others have mentioned, the instrument is a hurdy-gurdy (or, in French, une vielle). It's a wheel-bowed string instrument. Its sound is somewhat akin to a cello, but with a different set of harmonics. It has multiple drone strings and a set of keys for applying the melody strings to the wheel, and is a surprisingly versatile instrument (as well as Eluveitie, check out Storm Seeker or Patty Gurdy for more gurdy goodness). By the way, if this sounds like ceilidh music to you, you've been going to better class of ceilidh than I ever have (XD)!
Definitely agree with vote for Inis Mona- all male vocal and amazing group performance. Ex Eluveitie members including vocalist Anna make up Cellar Darling. Official video for 'Death' is amazing, including an awesome flute solo!
Beth, I think you are an excellent Vocal Coach & thanks so much for being so kind to all the Rock & Metal singers you’ve reacted to, whom I absolutely love (i.e. Bruce Dickinson, Dave Mustaine, Layne Staley R.I.P.🙏, etc.). How many #SebastianBach #fans do we have on here who would love to see/hear Beth Roars react to 1 of his songs? He is the former #SkidRow #LeadSinger & absolute #BestSinger that band ever had & he has been doing his own solo thing for several years now with his very own #awesome #SoloBand, that is honestly WAY better than Skid Row, imho. Beth, Why are you ignoring me? I’m a lead & rhythm guitarist of 30yrs now & I also sing & play a little piano. All I’m simply requesting is - May you please🙏do a Vocal Coach Reaction to Sebastian Bach - Kicking & Screaming? Here’s the Official Video th-cam.com/video/xKOruHhpAiQ/w-d-xo.html&app=m&persist_app=1. Will you please see & hear it?🙏I promise you if you do this, you have my word, I will not even ask you for anything else, since Sebastian Bach is my all time #favorite #Rock & #Metal lead singer & I know in my heart you will love his voice.
The unusual instrument is called a Hurdy Gurdy and the song is in Gaulish which is an extinct Celtic language spoken in Gaul (modern-day France, Belgium, Switzerland and Luxembourg) Also the song's melody is a traditional Irish song called "King of the Fairies"
I have two recommendations for you: Anything with Lzzy Hale live for that hard rock sound and power. Algema by Allamedah which is a fusion with traditional Portuguese fado. Very interesting sound with a particular Iberian passion.
Huh. I thought this was their concert from this years Summer Breeze, but the vid was uploaded before the festival. I might've been able to spot me. But it seems like it's from 2017. I missed that because we drank to much at our camp. Hate it when that happens. We just lost track of time.
I'm watched all of videos here in TH-cam. I don't care about the negativity of your comment about the. I'm watch you because I love the way you smile. Is that the primary reason that I watch you. And also I like the accents of your voice.😍😍😍😍
I've seen Eluveitie live in Norway. I'm lucky. I really like their music. Folk metal is awesome. I am fond of the mix between clean vocals and guttural screams and so on. I'm more into screaming vocals when it comes to Eluveitie.
5:36 the instrument is a Hurdy-Gurdy, it has an amazing sound. 4:21 Pity that bagpipe didnt had a good micro... :'( That s*cks..., because Eluveitie bagpiper is awesome
Hello Beth, please do: Avantasia - The Scarecrow (Live Flying Opera) Scorpions - Still Loving you /Love of my Life (Live from the Acustic album) In Flames - Take this life / Stay with Me
You really need to evaluate "Wake Up" by Tilian. It's a hidden masterpiece of vocal excellence. Using classic phrasing with new. It literally brings me to tears how perfect he can push emotions.
I'm pretty sure that instrument is a Hurdy Gurdy.
Correct the crank handle gives it away.
It is
This is correct. Eluveitie actually found their new Hurdy Gurdy player on TH-cam, doing covers of (mostly) their songs.
Yes it is. Another medieval instrument
In the north of Spain, in Galicia, we call that instrument a "zanfoña" or "zanfona"
The language is Gaulish, really old that isn't spoken anywhere as a main language. It was spoken in Europe before and during the Roman E.mpire
This language is not spoken anywhere. It is extinct language which Eluveitie kind of reconstructs from ancient signs and romanian chronicles.
@@FadedLightBluePink no, that isn't correct. Eluveities is a key contributor but many others have started reconstructing the language. And it is spoken amongst Celtic Reconstructionists.
@@FadedLightBluePink ROMAN, not Romanian. And dead languages like ancient Gaulish have been reconstructed and kept alive by university scholars all over the world for no one even knows how long.
Is it not called Gaelic?
@@Sergey-wg7ne nope, Gaelic isn't a language but is used to refer to things of 'Gaelic' origin. It would be called a "Gaelic Language" in this case. Another example, in Ireland we have our own form of football called "Gaelic Football". Hope that clears it up :)

It's a Hurdy Gurdy, and you should check out A Rose for Epona.
Epona the horse from legend of Zelda? 😅
Yes yes yes
@@angelikaspahn5982 She is the goddess of the horses of the Celtic flocklore

How cool! Never thought to find Eluveitie on your channel :)
Didn't think I'd find you on this channel either!

As a side note:
The dude who was on the mic does not know any sheet music yet can play quite a range of instruments.

Yes, perfect suggestion!

Swiss is right, Celtic is right, specifically Gaulish. And yeah Hurdy Gurdy
Today they released a live album and she sounds the same 2 years later, and I can listen to it over and over and over again ❤❤❤❤❤
love you for laughing at the screams/growls from the singer....this makes you real and it conveys your real passion for music....like and love it =)
That's a two drone (Galatian) old-time bagpipe, and a hurdy gurdy, old folk instruments ELECTRIFIED!
It's pure joy to watch you reacting :))

I love them, they are from my country. I also like the mesh up.with Manau.
Love the song! Indeed a rather atypical song for Eluveitie, as most of their songs rely more on Chrigel Glanzmann's screams and have a more profound death metal-y sound. The instrument is a Hurdy Gurdy, see it as a mechnised violin meeting bagpipes. Keys are used to shorten string as the turning wheel goes against them, a bit like a violin and bow. It also has bourdon strings (don't know if this term is also used in English), a constantly sounding string providing the key or kwint, as you also have the constantly sounding note in the bagpips.

Small disclaimer: This song was off of a more 'folk-oriented' album. Most of their newer material is more towards the metal side.
It is a hurdy-gurdy. Medieval string instrument that instead of using a bow, uses a crank mechanism and keys.
My favorite part of any Eluveitie react video:
*Michalina/Anna comes on screen*

Hello Beth, please do:
Avantasia - The Scarecrow (Live Flying Opera)
Scorpions - Still Loving you /Love of my Life (Live from the Acustic album)
In Flames - Take this life / Stay with Me
Such an amazing band :)
You really do have some out of the blue reaction picks sometimes. Not complaining though, because this is a very good and awesome band.
Or bork nagar colossus, anything by ishaan, or arcturus aspera heims smyphonia any track
Great taste in music, friend!!!
You really need to evaluate "Wake Up" by Tilian. It's a hidden masterpiece of vocal excellence. Using classic phrasing with new. It literally brings me to tears how perfect he can push emotions.
lol how you just laugh as he starts growling xD
