ELUVEITIE - Inis Mona (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 

Rule 34 of Metal: If an instrument exist, eventually a band will incorporate it in their music.

"Inis Mona is the name of an isle. Modern science assumes that the ancient Inis Mona is today's Isle of Anglesey (in welsh still names Ynys Môn), in the north of Wales. On Inis Monda the most relevant druid college of the Celtic world was established. Celtic trives from all over Europe sent their youth to that isle, so that they could enjoy the highest druidic education - which could take 20 years, by the way! - before they returned to their home countries and tribes to serve there as druids. Being a druid was one of the most important, honourable, responsible, esteemed, and maybe also most difficult professions in the Celtic culture, being actually much more than just a profession, rather to be described as a lifestyle, a vocation, a destiny. However, our song deals with an old and reputable gaulish druid in the eve of his life, looking back and pondering over his life and days long gone. Most of his life was spent in service as a wise counsellor, lawyer, scientist, teacher, doctor, physician - in other words: As druid at his clan's chieftan's court. Being content with that, he secretly still thinks back and moons over the years of his youth, which he spent on Inis Mona during his education. Years that have formed his life forever..."

who are listening this in 2024 which still give goosebump. cmon ’hit’

- Hey, what are you doing for living? - I play in a metal band. - That must be great, what instrument? Guitar, bass, drums...? - Bagpipe.

That is some of the angriest bag piping I have ever seen.

Everyone is playing angry as hell and the girl on the left is chilling with her weird gigantic cheese grater

Twelve years and almost 30 million views later, still rocking out to a bagpipe driven, hurdy gurdy backed, flute soloed metal track of the ages! \m/

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!

The very fist Eluveitie song I ever heard, and it's still great 👍

No matter how amazing you are, you will never beat the bagpipe man

Love the sample of ''Tri Martolod'' with the Celtic instrument and the flute

Oh man I haven't heard this in years. I forgot how awesome this song is.

8 Years later and still one of my fav's!!!!

One of the best song of all time. Drummer is so energetic

15 years ago this song was my intro to folk metal....... and till today it feels like yesterday....

who is listening in 2024 ❤?

Can't get through this song without headbanging.

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

After 12 years this song still brings me pure joy.

The first ever Eluveitie song I heard, and falling in love with this band ever since and now I'm a big fan of them.

This moment you learn that Inis Mona is the old name of Anglesey Island, on which is this wonderful small town of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

All these years later and one day at 5 am I have the desire to listen to this song again.

This song was litterally my doorstep to metal. I never got back since! It's been 11 years...

i'm a simple man, i close my eyes, inis mona

How bad ass can you fucking look by playing that instrument ? 0:50

A metal song with a FLUTE/pipe SOLO....A FLUTE I TELL YOU!!!!

Saw them live in Israel, they were amazing! Hearing this live was so insane it sent shivers all over and everyone went crazy singing with them.

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!

If there's one thing us Europeans should be proud of, it's our folk metal lol

Anyone listening today?

That flute solo was off the goddamn chain.

Listening this song while Im playing "Skyrim"...life could not be better.

Need... to... see... them.... live.... again and again and again!

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.

No puedo creer que ya sean 13 años de escuchar esta canción. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Inis Mona!

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!!

What. Is that a hurdy gurdy? What is this magical music?

14 years have passed if you are listening to this song then you are a lucky person man🖤🥀

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.

How fucking badass can you look playing that instrument 0:57

Holly shit, that babpipe guy is fucking angry all the time! :O

This is called ART I know this song since more than 10 years ago, but keep coming back to it.

Ah this is nostalgia... I was 15 when I first heard this... I'm 26 now... Still the same vibes!

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.

Never thought I would like folk metal

First girlfriend ever recommended I listen to this back in 2008. Come back every now and then and it reminds me how old we are now

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.

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!

Heart from 🇱🇰(Srilanka) .Metal fans🤘

Today it's been 12 years since the release of this song. God time is flying by.

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!

It will always be their best song...

I close my eyes, Inis Mona

Listening to this after 12 years and still it hits the same

Triii martolod yaaaouank lalalalalalalalaaa Tri martolod yaouank o voned da veajiiiiñ

Been nearly a decade since this song came out and it still gives me chills. Such an awesome band!

13 years Listening to this Masterpiece, And It still gives me chills

Thanking the algorithm of RU-vid 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!!

One of my favorite folk metal songs

The violinist has a beautiful long hair. Splendid !!

The pre chorus at 0:47 is just heavenly

The metalest bag pipes and hurdy gurdy that ever metald

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!

The most iconic song of Eluveitie. This is the first song after which i have been in love with the music of this band. Kudos.

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. :)

you see the sweet melodic tone of his voice goes perfectly with the sweet smooth sound of the flute and the bagpipes

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!!

finally! have hoped that some band made celtic metal! and now here it is! AWESOME!

9 years have passed, but still my favourite song in the genre. metal lives on!

the song that invited me into loving Eluveitie 11 years today...I was only 16 Much love from Kenya,

In a history of mankind, there was noone squeezing a dead goat with such passion as in this video

good old storys.. remember when sitting on a fire, looking to the stars above, drinking met and listen to elu.. Time where have u gone??

Celts, proud to be one... listening to music like this captures the spirit of our culture.. hard, raw, mean and mercyless, get in our way and we will fuckin destroy you... the world needs more of this ...raw agressive. non neollib no PC no Horseshit...

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.

As long as I breathe, I'll call you my home 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

What is best about this song is the sample and Metal version of Tri Martolod, an Old Breton song. Thank you for bringing it to the metal scene !

Listening this one after 13 years when I first heard it. Keeps the morale high 🙏🌎

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.

Go and see them signing this song live! Unmissable and unforgettable! Gooo! Inis Monaaa!

That dead goat sounds great.

i've started listening eluveitie by a co incident with this song...now Eluveitie is my most favourite folk metal band

I'm Black and this song got me headbanging like I'm preparing for battle with the vikings. Love from Nigeria.

One of the best records I've ever listend to. Thanks Eluveitie for this beautiful song.

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

First time I heard it I was 17. Now I'm 29 and nothing has changed.

最近ハマりました。・・・すっごい好き・・・♡♡♡

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.

0:57 one of the most badass moments in metal history

Обожаю эту песню. Каждый раз, когда ее слушаю, она звучит по-особенному:)

14 years later I still get chills thinking of when I saw em live

Inis Mona is absolutely the peak of ELUVEITIE'S brilliance. Wonderful!

A rare footage of Chrigel Glanzmann without a beanie

1:31 that instrument is so badass, damn

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". 😉

THIS SONG MAKES ME SO ALIVE

Dans la vallée... ooooh ooh... De Danaaaaaaaa

oh my god this is so good

Fucking awesome! Powerful and emotional at the same time.

best bridge/interlude lead in and solo in metal ever...he had that flute shredding lead licks
