The superstitious Romans were scared shitless... Apparently after this little incident Boudica's revolt began...
I used to listen to this song and the band heavily back in college, alone while having a smoke outside the gates of my campus. Now, after 3 years, I listen to this in the pandemic, alone in my room, unemployed, nostalgic, kinda drunk. Mostly, nostalgia is a very painful feeling for me but this song and the memories around it are weirdly giving me hope,. I feel youthful all over again (feels weird saying this while being 26) *sigh* Love from India!
I had the same with another song where I was reminiscent of better times before the pandemic. And I am but 21 years old. I think life goes on while we sometimes want to stick in the past.
This moment you learn that Inis Mona is the old name of Anglesey Island, on which is this wonderful small town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
That it is, apparently! I thought that was a joke first tbh haha In Welsh, that's spelled Ynys Môn according to Wikipedia, is located in ceremonial Gwynedd, and is a modern constituency. As far as I have been able to gather, Inis Mona is the Latinised version. (Sorry for the late reply on a 3 yr old comment XD)
@@DARRELLZINGALE as ohthatsskechy said they left to form Cellar Darling because of band-intern differences that lead to the throw-out of Ivo, and Anna and the GUITARIST (I think) left because of loyalty to Ivo. You can do some research on Wikipedia to find that out
Welcome to the land of questions Welcome to the isle of lore Where the veil came crumbling down There it all began, the germination Unveiling a cryptic door There it was revealed, hopes and aspirations Unclosing an enthralled door Escalate the sense Enhancing to join the dawn I close my eyes, Inis Mona And reminisce of those palmy days I moon o'er you, Inis Mona As long as I breathe, I'll call you my home 20 years I have walked your barrows Years of emulous youth I followed the path of the wise There it all was sown, the inspiration Removing the seven seals There it was revealed, enigma and freedom Unclosing an unseen door Escalate the sense Enhancing to join the dawn I close my eyes, Inis Mona And reminisce of those palmy days I moon o'er you, Inis Mona As long as I breathe, I'll call you my home
My first was Call of the Mountains, an absolute banger imo, but I've been finding some of their older stuff here as well, and honestly, I've just been jamming out for the past two days.
I was saying to my husband why don't metal bands use hurdy gurdy more it's metal af and then I found this. Amazing mix of unexpected instruments for the genre.
This is my favorite song by Eluveitie. The mixture of vocals, lyrics and flute/bagpipes just make this such a good example of Celtic Metal. Totally in love with this band!
Hi, thanks for your comments and support, your constant comments and support brought me here. Keep supporting Please send me an email via luke bryan goodliving@gmail.com
I love when winter starts. Because pretty much around the year I hardly ever listen to folk metal, since I can never get in the mood. But as soon as it gets colder I start listening to all these awesomed bands again. Loving it!!
+Ethan Goepper Same here. As soon as summer ends my favouritism for progressive metal and rock goes away, and I start listening to mostly medieval folk music and folk metal. Happens every year.
+Ethan Goepper Yeah, I move onto melodic death and folk metal in the winter, too. Normally I listen to power metal and melodic death. I guess it has something to do with being confined in the Canadian winters, and the short days with most of the time spent in school. A release of aggression is nice at that time.

You people don't realize, I mean most of you don't realize how powerful and good this song it. To actually have a song that heavy with 80% of lyrics being a growl, in 21st century and STILL hit 23 million views. This is power, like this is THE SHIT. Drink it in maaaaaan.
I am a basketball player trying to rehab from a horrific knee injury. Whenever I am working out and feel like giving up, I play this song. It's my jam. I get in a frantic rythym and go beast mode. This song literally helps me push through the exhaustion and pain. Thank you Eluveitie.
in this video i see 2 guitars, a bass guitar, drums, violin, bagpipes, a flute, and a hurdy-gurdy. If the band is going for a "wall of sound" approach, they have more than succeeded. Its a giant, beautiful wall that smacks you in the face with fekking amazing music and an unpronounceable name!
Eluveitie proves that you can combine folk instruments found in a Renaissance festival with downtuned guitars and heavy bass/drum lines and make amazing music out of it.
I am listening to this song after 11 yrs...last time i heard this in my schooldays. Old is gold Music... Really great, Coordination between the musicians is awesome.
Thanking the algorithm of TH-cam that sent me here to discover a great tune for hubby & I to add to our playlist for our #Skyrim hours this weekend & beyond! Awesome!!
Oh man, this song takes me back a little! I discovered it when I was doing filming for a TV show about Iron Age sacrificial murder, and I remember listening to it one morning on the set, which was a swamp, at 5 in the morning as the sun was rising. God damn!
I remember the first time I looked into Folk metal and saw that a lot of the bands had flutes, accordions, and violins. I thought "how can that possibly sound good, and what the hell is a hurdy gurdy?" Then I listened to Eluveitie and Korpiklaani. Now folk metal is basically all I listen to. :)
I am. They are amazing. It’s interest to see some of the changes, but how much has stayed the same. They are so organic and connected to the earth. I love them.
Melodious solos with aggressive vocals, such an awesome combo. The way all those instruments are in symphony to provide such ear soothing music is just outstanding. That flute solo was amazing. Loved it!
This video belongs to the past....Eluveitie will never be the same, as they announce on Facebook ! Thank you for these wonderful moments ! See you in Basel in 1 month for the last time...:,(
i never liked metal at all , but YOU GUYS , ELUVEITIE made me fall in love with it , i REALLY respect and love you . It's sad to hear that Anna Ivo and Merlin will leave , i'm sorry to hear that , i almost cried when heard the news , i wish them all the best and so to the remaining band I LOVE YOU GUYS
We got a much better Eluveitie and a whole different band out of it so it was for the best. I definitely don't like Cellar Darling as well as Eluveitie but they aren't bad. And hey, if Ivo and Qna can put up with Merlin's drinking more power to them.
for all those who wonders, folk metal is typically death metal, played with ancient/celtic instruments in a celtic/folk music style and a death voice. viking is folk metal with viking visual, texts about it and a bit more "power" in th song. so yes its death, yes it's folk, not it's not viking but who cares ? it jsut sound good ;D

10 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to this song before I dive in the metal universe... Never thought I'll enjoy it a decade later ! Cher ami du nom de Edourd merci de m'avoir initié au métal quand j'écoutais encore du rap de merde au lycée ! ✌️ Signé le "Branleur d'APS". 😉
Ah non mais je sais que c'est pas un plagiat ! Et je sais que Manau à chanté avec eux. Juste que quand j'entends cette mélodie, je pense tout de suite à la Vallée de Dana xD
Swiss Folk Metal Band "Eluveiti" - Song - "Inis Mona". This is the tune of the old Breton song "Tri Martolod" also covered by Alan Stivell, Manau (Tribu de Dana), Nolwenn Leroy and others
It was approximatly end of 2009, 10 years ago... Inis Mona was my first Metal Song and Eluveitie was my first metal band. I'm very excited, because they will be in Krakow 3 days later. I'm listening to their all album like I did the same many years ago. Those times this song was only 9 million, today it's around 30 millions. It doesn't matter, how much Eluveitie changes their band members ( greetings to ex members Annaa, Rafi, Meri, Pade, Sime ), Eluveitie's spirit will be the same! They will always be pioneer for Folk Metal! Greetings from Turkey!
Hector Vitt Thanks m8:) I really wanna to check that some day, hue hue hue;) What music style will fit into that "instrument", any suggestion's peoples?
its funny that come back here 11 years alter to hear this. I was up late when this video uploaded i had just discovered their first album and i have loved these guys ever since they really peaked my interest into folk style metal.
I saw them live, it was on a pretty small room. It was aqesome, incredible! The power, the energy and all the ppl dancing ther. I want to live this again!!
My favorite song of all time, i musta listened to it at least a 1000 times in the past 15 years and I still love it as much as the first time i heard it.
Very soon I'll be staying in my tent on the aran islands west of ireland and I will play this band full volume and admire our ancient Irish culture and heritage which dates back to the bronze age ❤️

Welcome to the land of questions
Welcome to the isle of lore
Where the veil came crumbling down
There it all began, the germination
Unveiling a cryptic door
There it was revealed, hopes and aspirations
Unclosing an enthralled door
Escalate the sense
Enhancing to join the dawn
I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe, I'll call you my home
20 years I have walked your barrows
Years of emulous youth
I followed the path of the wise
There it all was sown, the inspiration
Removing the seven seals
There it was revealed, enigma and freedom
Unclosing an unseen door
Escalate the sense
Enhancing to join the dawn

for all those who wonders, folk metal is typically death metal, played with ancient/celtic instruments in a celtic/folk music style and a death voice. viking is folk metal with viking visual, texts about it and a bit more "power" in th song.
so yes its death, yes it's folk, not it's not viking but who cares ? it jsut sound good ;D
thats incorrect. Folk does come from death metal, but viking metal comes from black metal hence why they are different.
let's say it's right in between ^^
The first folk metal bands i listened to didn't use any death growls, Fejd, Korpiklaani, In extremo are some examples (yet i love when they mix both genres)

I found this band like a decade and a half ago when I was around 13. Man have they helped me throughout the years. Some good music.
0:57 one of the most badass moments in metal history
10 years ago a friend of mine introduced me to this song before I dive in the metal universe... Never thought I'll enjoy it a decade later !
Cher ami du nom de Edourd merci de m'avoir initié au métal quand j'écoutais encore du rap de merde au lycée ! ✌️
Signé le "Branleur d'APS". 😉
i've started listening eluveitie by a co incident with this song...now Eluveitie is my most favourite folk metal band
Go and see them signing this song live! Unmissable and unforgettable! Gooo! Inis Monaaa!
Dans la vallée... ooooh ooh... De Danaaaaaaaa
pour info, ce n'est pas un plagiat, la chanson est tres ancienne.En plus ils sont suisses et l'on deja chantée avec manau
Ah non mais je sais que c'est pas un plagiat ! Et je sais que Manau à chanté avec eux. Juste que quand j'entends cette mélodie, je pense tout de suite à la Vallée de Dana xD
+Téka pareil !!
Tri MartolooooOOOooooD yaouank (tra la la, la di ga dra)
1:31 that instrument is so badass, damn
Swiss Folk Metal Band "Eluveiti" - Song - "Inis Mona". This is the tune of the old Breton song "Tri Martolod" also covered by Alan Stivell, Manau (Tribu de Dana), Nolwenn Leroy and others
exactly ;) ye'ch mat !
It was approximatly end of 2009, 10 years ago... Inis Mona was my first Metal Song and Eluveitie was my first metal band. I'm very excited, because they will be in Krakow 3 days later. I'm listening to their all album like I did the same many years ago. Those times this song was only 9 million, today it's around 30 millions. It doesn't matter, how much Eluveitie changes their band members ( greetings to ex members Annaa, Rafi, Meri, Pade, Sime ), Eluveitie's spirit will be the same! They will always be pioneer for Folk Metal! Greetings from Turkey!
Listening to this after 12 years and still it hits the same
It will always be their best song...
definitely one of the best and will always played when they are on stage
Well, technically, it's not really their song... at first, the main theme is from the song "Tri Martolod".
Yes i know
but they arranged it in ohter ways (Brutal way \m/)
Ahah, right !
Runners up are Quoth the Raven and A Rose for Epona
That dead goat sounds great.
+I AM And its so fu***** metal (as you can see by his expression)
+LastDrakkar82 Hahahahah that one was good :D
Hector Vitt

What music style will fit into that "instrument", any suggestion's peoples?
+LastDrakkar82 Rap(e) music :D
ALLAH ALLAH AAAAAKBAR
Heard this for the first time about 15 years ago, or even more. I still think is one of the best metal songs I ever heard. Brilliant
I don't think a more literate song has ever written. Metalhead and proud ;)
its funny that come back here 11 years alter to hear this. I was up late when this video uploaded i had just discovered their first album and i have loved these guys ever since they really peaked my interest into folk style metal.
Best folk metal song ever, greetings since Perú.
I saw them live, it was on a pretty small room. It was aqesome, incredible! The power, the energy and all the ppl dancing ther. I want to live this again!!
Just found out they are playing my city with Epica in September! Can't wait :-D
+Mandy ThongGurl Ill be seeing that tour in Baltimore Sept 8th!!
+Mandy ThongGurl Irving Plaza :D
+Mandy ThongGurl Yes!! 22th of november 2015 In Klokgebouw Eindhoven. I'll be there probably in the role of crowd surf catcher. :-)
Paul Berndsen :) have fun!
+Mandy ThongGurl They started the tour in my city. it was epic as hell
14 years later I still get chills thinking of when I saw em live
What do you mean alive?
In a history of mankind, there was noone squeezing a dead goat with such passion as in this video
My favorite song of all time, i musta listened to it at least a 1000 times in the past 15 years and I still love it as much as the first time i heard it.
The song is awesome the singing, and the bagpipes and especially the flute solo towards the end
One of my all-time favorite songs!
First time I heard it I was 17. Now I'm 29 and nothing has changed.
Very soon I'll be staying in my tent on the aran islands west of ireland and I will play this band full volume and admire our ancient Irish culture and heritage which dates back to the bronze age ❤️
Inis mona is the latin name for the isle of Anglesey or Ynys môn in Welsh.
