Everyone: Helvetios is a concept album about a group of Gauls, the Helvetii, who used to live in areas of present-day france and switzerland(where the band is from). The album is a story told from the perspective of one of the helvetii, and in this song a girl has stopped at a shrine to epona, goddess of horses and fertility, to try to find answers to why the tragedy of the roman invasion has happened, and why they have been so utterly routed by the romans.
Technically, it was the Suebi that drove the Helvetii from their lands. Rather than stand their ground and defend their homeland, they chose to migrate to Roman territory without permission. Not saying they deserved what they got but you don't just violate someone's borders without repercussions.
I watched a video of them live and I remember right before they played this song, Anna said "Epona is a goddess in Celtic mythology. It's also a horse in the Legend of Zelda." I couldn't help but smile.
Very good song. I'm just wondering if you've been a metalhead at all. I dont want to make any pre-judgements by just looking at your appareance buddy, but you look more like a Korean Pop fanboy.
Absolutely agree. Same with me, nearly to the year, and I just found this band. Immediately in love. Beginning my month-long binge on this band's history, effective immediately.
I just realized that I really like Anna Murphy because she doesn't sing like it is usual in female (and male) singers in metal. I feel like many female singers are worried about making gestures and being theatrical - and there is nothing wrong with it - but Anna sings soulfully, it looks very genuine, I really like it :)
She does gesture quite a bit here. But I think she does very well with keeping for the highly charged chorus of the song. She accentuates the emotion of despair conveyed by her voice with appropriate energy.
This song has my favourite vocals ever recorded. Anna Murphy is such a goddess and her voice always gives me chills no matter how many times I hear this song. I'd absolutely love to hear one of those isolated vocal tracks of this song.
whats wrong with you man? stop being such a simp shes not a godess lmao. shes a mortal human female being. all she does is live life and produce what seems to be good and cool music along with it.
like i aint gonna admire and adore and worship someone just because they have a nice tone of a voice. but be honorable and respectful thats what i can say to her.
Damn... Now I am getting it. After years of not understanding my sister's taste of music, where the singers were seemingly always angry, sad, or had throat cancer... Finally I am getting it.
I've just been introduced to metal music and I really love this band. The music is brilliant, very Celtic and original. I love her voice it's so pure. All the musicians are fantastic. I'm 65yrs old and I love this music very much. 💗
Sue West if you message them on their Facebook page requesting an autograph they will send you an autograph photo signed by the whole band. They are amazing people
They definetly won't. Old Eluveitie was only a composion of chrigel. Later they got more together. But Chrigel is the heart of the band, he makes up the sound overall. But of course Annas voice brings many elements to it and Ivos Guitar too, but without Chrigel there would't be Eluveitie
I get what you mean to some extent.. Ivo, Merlin and Anna were 3/4 of the basic band members from 2004 and 2006 till 2016.. hens the "hot" years..their contribution to the eluveitie project is massive..!
Even though I am not a Celt, the flute solo from 2:54 to 3:14 makes me connect with this song as if my entire family was murdered by the Romans and now I must live on as the sole descendant of my people.

kosmici87 About romans killing celtic people in central Europe and wiping out their culture, while the people who resist try to call for the gods with no results
@@kosmici87 From Chrigel Glanzmann: "The song 'A Rose For Epona' appears about in the middle of the storyline - so, it tells about the time when the gaulish war broke out already. The Helvetians decided to leave their homeland and migrate to the west coast of Gallia, to start a new life there. In the time the song tells about, many Helvetians had to face pretty much shattered hopes. And so does the protagonist, from whose viewpoint the song is written: A young gaulish woman. She was part of the helvetic migration, but after the battle of Bibracte, all hopes that she and her people would ever reach their new home were torn to pieces. Furthermore you can imagine: She probably had lost her husband on the battlefields of Bibracte and she had to face fact that she can be glad if their common newborn child would not be killed and she herself would be sold into roman slavery. To sum it up: Her situation was desperate. In this situation 'our' young gaulish woman despairs, can't accept her fate and turns to her goddess Epona... and accuses her for having forsaken her people. This is what the song expresses. On a historical note: 'Epona' was a gaulish goddess which was, among other things, in charge of taking care of horsemen and the cavallery. All over Gallia there were Epona temples where people traditionally offered up freshly cut roses or rose petals to their goddess."
Carrie Zylka I did the same thing... clicked on ''King'' at random when it appeared down the side of something else I was watching, and loved it. Then hit ''Havoc'', ''Of fire, wind and wisdom'', then this... great band!

there must be something wrong with me, because I've listened to this song 200 times in the last 2 days, and I still can't get enough. it's so good, help?
I discovered this song 9 years ago (2012) and got many of my college friends to listen to it who eventually get hooked as well. I miss those carefree, leisurely days.
I just found this incredible band last week, and I can't believe it took me so long! WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! Answer: Right the heck here, Cas. XD
I've been finding so many good bands lately during the pandemic, including this one, that it makes me feel I've been a cave man for a long while hahahaha. I've been into metal since 24 years ago.

This song is insane !!! I`ve discovered them last year. Such a fantastic metal beauty with celtic vibe. She is f.. great - I love also Cellar Darling with her. When she sing I am melting...
Rounnok Mazumdar Chrigel and Merlin had a falling out. Merlin, Anna and Ivo are good friends so when Chrigel wanted to remove Merlin from the band Anna and Ivo left with him. They had been doing Cellar Darling together as a side project already so they just went full time with that.
The original music is Bloodstain Child - Metropolice from the album Mozaiq released in 2007. Nuclear Blast released this "version" from Eluveitie 5 years after on a bonus track from the album Helvetios
The music is so sweet it made me to translate into my native Hungarian language: Epona rózsája Érzed ezt a kínt? Látod könnyünk? Hogy mennyi vért kívánt e háború? Elhagytál bennünket? Megfeledkeztél nevedhez hű férjeinkről? Előtted állok most Míg haldoklunk És eléd bíbor rózsát vetek Annyi hű kéz most elszakadt Reményünk elítélten fúl Hol voltál? Ó, most rám szakad az ég Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb Neked áldozom most magamat Áldozatom meddőn porlad (Rám szakad) Szent nemetonod Kövei közt oly hideg a csend Mint a megtört anyai szív Sirat megannyi holt Reményt és elveszett álmot Hol voltál? Ó, most rám szakad az ég Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb Neked áldozom most magamat Áldozatom meddőn porlad Áldozatom... (Epo, Epo, miért hagytál el engem?) Semmibe múlunk mi mind (Kezedbe ajánlom lelkem) Így velünk hal nevünk és népünk Hol voltál? Hol voltál? Ó, most rám szakad az ég Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb Neked áldozom most magamat Áldozatom meddőn porlad Rám szakad...

Been a metal head since seeing led Zeppelin in 1975 and black sabbath. Discovered this band during lockdown, along with a lot of European bands utterly brilliant, metal still evolving still new fresh and exciting after all these years.
It's 12:47 a.m, lockdown and im remembering music that i used to like when i was a freshman highschool, music which i remember fondly. Those times were trash but were less bad than these last 4 years with clinical depression.
Hey brother ... it isn't easy, but you can get through it. I've been fighting PTSD and its associated demons for a few years now. There's help out there - just reach out. You don't have to be strong all of the time, you just have to keep fighting.
I wasn't too fond of the way the lyrics roll in this song when I first heard it a few days ago. Now, after listening to it some more, it has grown on me, and combined with the beautiful instrumentals, I cannot stop listening to it.
I'm sorry to say that I'm not really optimist about it ... Cellar Darling sounds good, but it miss something who make Eluveitie Unical and Magical. Anna without Eluveitie and Eluveitie without Anna, I hope the best, but I am afraid that the twice will lose their "soul" ... Hope so strongly to be wrong. Music need Eluveitie and Music need Anna Murphy.
*Epona is the Celtic goddess of Horses* for those that didn't know. Interestingly enough it was worshipped in modern day Spain, France, Belgium, Northern Italy and obviously in Helvetia (Switzerland) by the Celts in those regions and was later absorbed as a deity by the Romans (specially the cavalry), after conquering Helvetia, Hispania and Gaul.
Uma Rosa Para Epona Você sente os espinhos? Você vê as lágrimas? Você vê o sangue derramado nesta guerra cruel? Você nos abandonou? Você se esqueceu de nossos homens fiéis chamando seu nome? Enquanto estou aqui diante de você Enquanto estamos perecendo Enquanto eu lhe entrego esta rosa vermelha Enquanto as mãos dadas São forçadas a se separar Enquanto a esperança se afunda como homens condenados Você estava lá? O céu está caindo sobre mim Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca Eu estou me entregando a ti Um sacrifício inútil que murchou Em seu Nemeton Essas paredes de pedra cinzenta São frias e silenciosas Como os caídos A Mãe se tornou desatenta Amante de esperanças destroçadas E sonhos quebrados para sempre Você estava lá? O céu está caindo sobre mim Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca Eu estou me entregando a ti Um sacrifício inútil que murchou "Epo, Epo, por que me desamparaste?" Juntos nós seguimos sem celebração "Em tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito" Juntos nós caímos com o nosso povo Você estava lá? Você estava lá? O céu está caindo sobre mim Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca Eu estou me entregando a ti Um sacrifício inútil que murchou Caindo sobre mim ...

Natalia Lopes As antigas deles (como essa aqui) dificilmente você ouvirá nas rádios "rock" que temos aqui neste país ou até nas rádios internacionais, agora as novas músicas provavelmente, esta se tornando uma banda modinha, novos integrantes que ao meu ver estragaram essa ótima banda , estão se importando mais com a aparência desses novos "intrigantes" (o novo baterista com flanjinha todo fresco) doq com o som e em mandar aquela tradição Folk e aquele som passado do Metal juntos, resumindo a banda está uma porra, infelizmente.

I discovered this song 9 years ago (2012) and got many of my college friends to listen to it who eventually get hooked as well. I miss those carefree, leisurely days.
just wanted to start 2021 with this 🖤 anyone else here?
edit: yes, i entered 2022 with it too
I used to love this song, now im kpopper xD
Yapp :)

Anna Murphy, why do you have to leave? :(
Wait, she's leaving the band? Noooooo!!!
Anna, Ivo, and Merlin are leaving the band after Chrigel, behind the backs of the rest of the band, asked Merlin to leave.
:(
she left a while ago. something about not getting paid and wanting solo
She has her own band eventually :) listen to Cellar Darling :)
I just found this incredible band last week, and I can't believe it took me so long!
WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?!
Answer:
Right the heck here, Cas. XD
I've been finding so many good bands lately during the pandemic, including this one, that it makes me feel I've been a cave man for a long while hahahaha. I've been into metal since 24 years ago.
@@Cool-Ero whats some of the best metal bands you could recommend me
@@talib1822 It depends on your preferences and I don't know if you're asking in general or only new ones, but I'll mention a few of both that come to my head right now, and of course based 100% on my style preferences:
Meshuggah
Shadow of Intent
Shokran
Ingested
Bury Tomorrow
Gojira
Rings of Saturn
Inferi
Chelsea Grin
Infant Annihilator
Distant
Shiva
Umbravoid
This song is insane !!! I`ve discovered them last year. Such a fantastic metal beauty with celtic vibe. She is f.. great - I love also Cellar Darling with her. When she sing I am melting...
Masterpiece.
Anna should sing all Eluveitie's songs
It feels like first love. I know this song all my life. Today we just meet.
Hey there ... it's a throuple now!
Just wanna go sit ...in an enchanted forest.... and listen to this over and over.....
Likewise.
One of my most favorite one. Too many memories with this song. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Forever 💜
Hands down best melodic folk metal band for me.
I miss you Anna ❤
Why Anna Murphy left the band
We all do
@@rounnokmazumdar8401 she is the main vocal in cellar darling if you haven't heard, they're amazing!
Rounnok Mazumdar Chrigel and Merlin had a falling out. Merlin, Anna and Ivo are good friends so when Chrigel wanted to remove Merlin from the band Anna and Ivo left with him. They had been doing Cellar Darling together as a side project already so they just went full time with that.
She is gone for so long but i am still crying
The original music is Bloodstain Child - Metropolice from the album Mozaiq released in 2007. Nuclear Blast released this "version" from Eluveitie 5 years after on a bonus track from the album Helvetios
keltská hudba je nádherná a eluveitie to potvrzují - díky!!!
The music is so sweet it made me to translate into my native Hungarian language:
Epona rózsája
Érzed ezt a kínt?
Látod könnyünk?
Hogy mennyi vért kívánt e háború?
Elhagytál bennünket?
Megfeledkeztél nevedhez hű férjeinkről?
Előtted állok most
Míg haldoklunk
És eléd bíbor rózsát vetek
Annyi hű kéz most elszakadt
Reményünk elítélten fúl
Hol voltál?
Ó, most rám szakad az ég
Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb
Neked áldozom most magamat
Áldozatom meddőn porlad
(Rám szakad)
Szent nemetonod
Kövei közt oly hideg a csend
Mint a megtört anyai szív
Sirat megannyi holt
Reményt és elveszett álmot
Hol voltál?
Ó, most rám szakad az ég
Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb
Neked áldozom most magamat
Áldozatom meddőn porlad
Áldozatom...
(Epo, Epo, miért hagytál el engem?)
Semmibe múlunk mi mind
(Kezedbe ajánlom lelkem)
Így velünk hal nevünk és népünk
Hol voltál?
Hol voltál?
Ó, most rám szakad az ég
Kezed vénül és egyre gyengébb
Neked áldozom most magamat
Áldozatom meddőn porlad
Rám szakad...
Köszi! Örülök, hogy itt nálunk Magyarországon is hallgatnak jó zenét!🤘🤘🤘🤘
When I listen to Eluvetie, I want to go to the forest bare foot and never come back.
I find a witch like in the video and fall in love
@iamandreja X2.🤩
After 17 years, I've finally listened to this song...
You're late
17 wasted years
@@B33joy yep...
Better late than never
❤❤❤❤
I've listened Alina Gingertail's version a couple of times, but only now came for the original 😅
discovered this 2023, had no clue it was such an old song but damn it's a banger
From Alina Gingertail with love!
🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
Stop asking who here's we never left
I love the way her accent comes through in this song.
Neumím anglicky, ale tahle hudba mi vtiskne do srdce pokaždé silnou stopu... Jste úžasní 🤘💪.
[A Rose For Epona] Do you feel the thorns? Do you see the tears? Do you see the blood shed in this fell war? Have you forsaken us? Have you forgotten our faithful men calling your name? While I stand before you While we perish While i lay down a crimson rose While holding hands Are forced apart While hopes bog like condemned men Were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere In your nemeton These grey stone walls Are cold and silent As the fallen Mother gone deaf Mistress of shattered hopes And forever broken dreams Were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere Epo, epo why hast thou forsaken me? Together we go unsung Into thy hand i commend my spirit Together we go down with our people Were you there? were you there? The sky is falling on me As your hand's turning old and weak I'm giving myself up to thee A futile sacrifice gone sere Falling on me...
This is in my top 10 favorite songs *ever*. It has such an ethereal, yet intense, sound. Love Eluveitie.
Been a metal head since seeing led Zeppelin in 1975 and black sabbath. Discovered this band during lockdown, along with a lot of European bands utterly brilliant, metal still evolving still new fresh and exciting after all these years.
It's 12:47 a.m, lockdown and im remembering music that i used to like when i was a freshman highschool, music which i remember fondly. Those times were trash but were less bad than these last 4 years with clinical depression.
same man, Demon Hunter goes hard if you wanna give them a peep
Hey brother ... it isn't easy, but you can get through it. I've been fighting PTSD and its associated demons for a few years now. There's help out there - just reach out. You don't have to be strong all of the time, you just have to keep fighting.
Get well soon!
That's how I call covid.
I wasn't too fond of the way the lyrics roll in this song when I first heard it a few days ago. Now, after listening to it some more, it has grown on me, and combined with the beautiful instrumentals, I cannot stop listening to it.
good 4 u m8
Carlin is this Rock music
Great vocals...can get get emough of this song..realy,..
you and me both man
she was the best singer for this band...
this song has one of THE most catchy choruses ever!! cant get enough of it!!

la primera y unica banda de folkdeath son unas bestias
The beginning to this song is so beautiful.
blood stain child - metropolice
@@boothps its actually a well known folk melody
Anna Murphy, we will miss your great voice :'(
Who went away? What happened to this band? I have got no idea...
+Iron Man
Anna the hurdy-gurdy player, Ivo the guitarrist and Merlin the drummer left the band :( but eluveitie still playing with other new members.
I think you should listen to Cellar Darling. Ana, Ivo and Merlin are There
I'm sorry to say that I'm not really optimist about it ... Cellar Darling sounds good, but it miss something who make Eluveitie Unical and Magical. Anna without Eluveitie and Eluveitie without Anna, I hope the best, but I am afraid that the twice will lose their "soul" ... Hope so strongly to be wrong. Music need Eluveitie and Music need Anna Murphy.
Dani Troilo she already has her own band
Ive always had a soft spot for celtic music this is just so beautiful and haunting
2:10
Aaaaand cut.
"Okay im gonna need a little more enthusiasm from you guys."
Keked
this song: death metal had a love child with Enya
deny it you cannot.
+Theoria Apophasis Deny it you carrot * :D
+Theoria Apophasis Not death metal... not by a long shot. Folk Metal, yeah, definitely.
+Kevin Clark i know its folk metal
duhh, ....thats why i said Enya (folk) + death metal
+Theoria Apophasis why death metal???
+Frostlitzell you took the analogy too far
This song is really awesome by itself and I listen to it a lot, but I feel it's understated that Anna Murphy looks a-mazing in this video.
I'm a wiccan and I love this music ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊 blessed be
*Epona is the Celtic goddess of Horses* for those that didn't know. Interestingly enough it was worshipped in modern day Spain, France, Belgium, Northern Italy and obviously in Helvetia (Switzerland) by the Celts in those regions and was later absorbed as a deity by the Romans (specially the cavalry), after conquering Helvetia, Hispania and Gaul.
Ohh how many memories come in mind with this song...I love it !! ❤
+Angelina⭐❤ Same
just like you
+Angelina⭐❤ I dont know but I'd rather listen to justin beiber songs like sorry or baby they'reso awesome :´( don' t u?:

Uma Rosa Para Epona
Você sente os espinhos?
Você vê as lágrimas?
Você vê o sangue derramado nesta guerra cruel?
Você nos abandonou?
Você se esqueceu de nossos homens fiéis chamando seu nome?
Enquanto estou aqui diante de você
Enquanto estamos perecendo
Enquanto eu lhe entrego esta rosa vermelha
Enquanto as mãos dadas
São forçadas a se separar
Enquanto a esperança se afunda como homens condenados
Você estava lá?
O céu está caindo sobre mim
Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca
Eu estou me entregando a ti
Um sacrifício inútil que murchou
Em seu Nemeton
Essas paredes de pedra cinzenta
São frias e silenciosas
Como os caídos
A Mãe se tornou desatenta
Amante de esperanças destroçadas
E sonhos quebrados para sempre
Você estava lá?
O céu está caindo sobre mim
Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca
Eu estou me entregando a ti
Um sacrifício inútil que murchou
"Epo, Epo, por que me desamparaste?"
Juntos nós seguimos sem celebração
"Em tuas mãos entrego o meu espírito"
Juntos nós caímos com o nosso povo
Você estava lá? Você estava lá?
O céu está caindo sobre mim
Enquanto sua mão se torna velha e fraca
Eu estou me entregando a ti
Um sacrifício inútil que murchou
Caindo sobre mim ...
Sonzeira do caralho e não pude trocar uma idéia com ela que esteve em Curitiba sexta-feira por falta de grana pro show do Cellar Darling , me sinto um merda kkkkkk
Finalmente alguns BR rsrs
🤘
Brabo
Boa.
When I hear there were thorns Just reminds me of how Jesus had those Thorns On his head from dying on the cross for us And it still makes me feel sad And barely I feel That's the thorns from Jesus always will make me sad How we all treated him God-bless the USA God-bless Finland
2019 who still listens 🌹
Favrotie band ever.
Did not find till 2019, make sure you don't miss Cellar Darling.
yooo
@@ChadNErdProd Well actually the singer of Cellar Darling was the singer of Eluveitie shown in this video. So you're right, better don't miss what Anna's doing now!
This particular iteration is amazing. This and "Song of the Mountain" are a must for any of my music rotations.
@@davidlandry3487 Call of the Mountains* XD
Aah... Anna marphy just did a masterpiece one... Just love that band and this song either... 😍😍
This is beautiful has real Gaelic sound just correct me if I am wrong but still this music from this band is beautiful.
2023 still jamming to the masterpiece 🤙🤌, lol even my 9 year old daughter loves this song. It's a glorious song 💜
One of the best things I did in my life is (and will be) that I saw them all together live
U r so damn lucky
I saw them live earlier this year and they were phenomenal. The best band I've seen live by a mile, was such an experience.
De las mejores bandas de Folk Metal.
Huge fan of Eluveitie! Love from India!
oh god for some reason i cry when i listen to this song, may god bless you guys, an amazing work👍
After nine years I found this song ❤❤
2:10 The face of a metal-head guitarist playing in a clean singing band
2022 who listening to this underated band??
Love this massively underated band
Incredible song! Beautiful melodies and great vocals! Love this song!!!
When i randomly clicked on this song not expecting much I did not expect to tear up listening…this is amazing.
Abril 2024 🤟🏼✌🏼🤟🏼 mexico, saludos
Lovely group listen to clips, and songs of the group, and falls somewhere in the depths of the past and is the most wonderful feeling ......
i love how anna transitions in between words kind of like inhaling them ? idk just sounds so much more genuine
Oh my!!!! What an out of this world music!!
BIG BIG LOVE FROM INDIA!!!!!
The lyrics, the beat, the music, everything. Shivers! Shivers! Shivers!
um amigo que não é mais meu amigo me apresentou essa música é eu até hj não consigo parar de ouvir!!! me pergunto pq esse som não toca nas rádios... melhor de todas p mim...
❤👏👏
vdd
Natalia Lopes porque tudo o que é bom não toca na rádio 😉
Natalia Lopes
Rádio não toca as melhores músicas,rádio toca as músicas mais famosas...nunca que tu vai ver uma banda foda dessa tocar em rádio kkkkkkkkkkkkk só se for playlist de rock/metal do Spotify..suhduhusd
Natalia Lopes As antigas deles (como essa aqui) dificilmente você ouvirá nas rádios "rock" que temos aqui neste país ou até nas rádios internacionais, agora as novas músicas provavelmente, esta se tornando uma banda modinha, novos integrantes que ao meu ver estragaram essa ótima banda , estão se importando mais com a aparência desses novos "intrigantes" (o novo baterista com flanjinha todo fresco) doq com o som e em mandar aquela tradição Folk e aquele som passado do Metal juntos, resumindo a banda está uma porra, infelizmente.
Anna Murphy, it's amazing how good she sounds while shouting at full lung capacity.
I couldn’t remember the name of this song..sooooo glad I had added it to my playlist back in the day when I found it!! It randomly played again today! 😊😊 so happy! Such a great song!!!!
instandly bought the album when i heared the first seconds of Call of the mounain and now i cant stop listening
Yea i got hooked to this band as well when I heard call of the mountain
Is there anyone in 2024?
