Can we ever expect more Eluveitie Reacts? I love this band so much! Alot of their songs are also sung in Native Gaelish (Language from back in the Celtic days)!
@@sgfdgdfg3434 Also yes, but I would prefer Elizabeth reacting to the live version of her song Run, live at Lexington, or her one-take live cover of Sweet Dreams :) I'm hoping she does a video or live of her Lakmé cover as well. She rearranged the flower duet for a mezzo voice and gurdy instead of two female voices. That would be some real earcandy for Elizabeth :)
The former singer of Eluveitie Anna Murphy is actually a vocal coach since a few years and I attend her lessons. She also has a very beautiful voice and I'd recommend the song Call of the Mountains by Eluveitie for you to hear.😃🔥
Yes, was gonna suggest call of the mountains, and a rose for epona. Cellar darling is a great band as well. My daughter loves annas voice. Cellar darling was kind enough to send her a signed post card for her birthday a few years ago for which ill be forever grateful.
I am always sad when a favorite band changes personal, but Eluveitie came through with a great new style mixed with the old. They have always sounded incredible and I remain a die hard fan.
I would object that few bands manage to be folk, although a lot have folk elements. For example, in my head I see Eluveitite as a melodic death metal band with folk instruments, but I don't think they are folk Edit: slight correction, their debut album Spirit probably crosses the line for me and I would define it as folk.
The song "Ategnatos" is a must listen after this. "Ategnatos" is the name of the album this. It means Rebirth in Helvetii. "Rebirth" is more of the outro track for this thematic album. "Ategnatos" is the song that kicks it off and it uses some of the same lyrics as "Rebirth:. Definetly worth a listen.
Hei Tank, I just put a suggestion in a comment to E today... from a gear standpoint, do you think it'd work? ... does she run line-level or instrument level into a M222? I dunno which to tell her, but I REALLY wanna hear the result !! If the level-adjust needs to be custom, I will design it up and make the pcb/pedal. Remember, I'm a dentist too, so I'm bound-by-oath to protect her oral space... no teeth-chipping like the original Heil Talk-boxes, lol. Dunlop vs MXR is another Q? Dunno which is more user-friendly.
If you wanna see Fabi’s true power level in isolation: she does a gorgeous piano+voice cover of Ambiramus, from the same Eluveitie album as Rebirth on her channel.
Eluveitie has a ton of songs in mixed English and Gaulish or straight Gaulish. "Slania's Song" or "Epona" are both amazing. There are a ton of other folk metal bands that vary in how they make their sound but also feature mixed screaming and singing, check out Arkona for one, they're Russian with a vocalist who manages to do crazy gutturals and also angellic melodic singing (she's SO good)
If you really want to get a good dose of Gaulish singing, you should check out another Eluveitie song: Epona. The few times I've seen them perform live, that song always got the crowd riled up the most.
I'm part of a celtic historical reenactment group called Viviskes and we (actually they, I wasn't there) were hired to play in the music video for Epona!
YES!! I know you've listened to Heilung and Nightwish, but this brand of Folk metal is very different to both and I can't wait to see your reaction. I also recommend The Call of the mountains (featuring the previous female vocalist), King (only growls) and Ategnatos (same album as Rebirth).
Hey Elizabeth! Fabi also has a side project called Illumishade, where they did a rock cover of Into the Unknown from Frozen II and she has done several gorgeous piano/vocal covers over this lockdown period on her own YT channel, she is an incredibly lovely person as well. Can't wait to hear you check her out more. ❤️❤️❤️

So suggestion: Amorphis - Bee ( personal favourite) or if you wanna do a harmony group ) Og3ne - bohemian raphsody - Queen (Quaratine cover) which got an honorable mention by Queen themselves
Was about to write Amorphis. Any Amorphis. The whole Oulu show is a masterpiece, all live and great quality. Towards And Against Majestic Beast Sign From the Northside And of course the softer ones (Silver Bride, Sampo, Sky is mine and Silent Waters).
I am a big fan of them for years. Their music brings together two fantastic musical genres and I love it. They not only use traditional instruments but their texts go back on myths and mythical figures. Please review Inis Mona one day !
I think you would enjoy Northern Kings, that was made up by Jarkoo Ahola, Marko Hietala, Tony Kakko and Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto. They were a super group that made symphonic metal covers of many songs.
@@Kekoapono Also "We don't need another hero"!! But one for me that's special is "I shall be so lucky". The complete turn they gave with their interpretation for me is phenomenal!
Rose for epona and call of the mountains are similar. Rose ifor epona better though. Different lyrical flow than what most are used to. Was written kinda like an off rhythm poem. And the song has a story.
I'm SO thrilled you finally did an Eluveitie song. This has been my all time favorite band for years and years and I've seen them as many times as possible in the US. Glad you loved them and I loved seeing someone enjoy their first listen to them!
The guitar tone is so powerful and clean, always have the Bose on lol.Hey I've been listening to Metal for 40 years and their are so many bands now and genres,sub- genres, can't keep up.This band is a first for me also and they rock.
Welcome to vast world of folk metal. Next stop, viking metal and maybe some utter epicness with Skálmöld & Sinfóníuhljómsveit Íslands - Kvaðning (yeah it is live with symphony orchestra).
Cool, I was wondering what/who Cellar Darling was! A couple weeks back, Nuclear Blast sent me someone else's shipment, along with my order. I got some Opeth and Cellar Darling! I have not listened to it yet, as I am waiting to see if I need to ship it all back! lol
It's amazing how every time I tune to this channel, there's 3 to 5K more subscribers. Well deserved! Thank you Elizabeth for bringing us a comprehensive analysis and an emotional overdrive each time. Your charisma is undeniable!
Hi Elizabeth, this is my first time listening to Eluveitie and they did not disappoint. I Loved how the band combines the melodic death metal with the traditional Celtic folk music to create their own unique style. This truly was an exceptional performance. Thank you, Elizabeth, for introducing me to another amazing band. ❤
Yes Elizabeth, l like that u have so much compassion when u listen to the music. U are really listening to everything, so interested, Happy and surprised☺️ I Love to see You. Keep going. And l want to mention another song with this band, Eluveitie, My favourite and with another earlier female singer. Its the song "CALL OF THE MOUNTAINS" Would Love if u Wanted to do that. Rock On Elizabeth, Keep doing what u Do! U are THE best! 🤘 From me Benny in Sweden,, 🇸🇪
great reaction liked it a lot and yes it is a hurdy gurdy. Their main theme is Celtic history and culture in continental Europe and you can learn a lot about the Celts when you listen to the lyrics. Eluveitie mostly sing of the celtic tribe of the Helvetii who lived in the area of todays Switzerland, southern Germany and western Austria and was the first tribe that came under pressure when the Roman Empire started its expansion north and when the Gallic Wars (around 60-54 B.C.) started. The band had a lot of line-up changes during the years, the most impactful in 2016, when the previous female vocalist/hurdy gurdist Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter (Drummer) and Ivo Henzi (Guitarist) left the band and founded "Cellar Darling". Some songs with the current line-up you could react to are: "Breathe", "Ambiramus", "The Slumber", "Worship" or "Deathwalker" (live at Wacken 2019). With the previous line-up (with Anna Murphy on vocals/hurdy gurdy) I would suggest: "King", "Tegernako" (live at Summerbreeze 2008), "Thousandfold", "A Rose for Epona", "Alesia" or "Quoth the Raven" (video recorded in the studio) or "The Siege" if you want to hear Anna scream. But I think there are no official videos to "Alesia" or "The Siege" as far as I know. From their acoustic songs I would recommend "Omnos", "Brictom", "Desumiis Luge" (powerful, written and performed by Anna Murphy and Meri Tadic (former violinist who left in 2014), it is a curse of Helvetic women against some Roman leaders, unfortunately there is no official video for this one too) from "Evocation I: The Arcane dominion" and "Lugus" (god of Trade and craftsmanship), "Caturix" (god of war) or "Epona" (with Gaulish and English lyrics, at the end of this video there is a little explanation who Epona was) from "Evocation II: Pantheon". These two albums are more focussed on the Folk part of their style and the songs are sung in Gaulish, the extinct (since 500 AD) language of the continental Celts that could be reconstructed by using inscripions found at archeological sites from all over Europe. For more hurdy gurdy you could check out the channel of Eluveities hurdy gurdist Michalina Malisz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QfP2qYlNBdw.html . But PLEASE avoid her playthroughs or her early Eluveitie covers that she had done before she was asked to join the band because it would spoil future reactions. But you could check her "5riffs" series where she plays 5 riffs from famous bands (like Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden) on the hurdy gurdy. She has done a great cover of "Martyr" by August burns Red too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Mvs39ZeQjq4.html . There is also a video where she explains how she got to join the band ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X6zmZraewQY.html. There is also a great interview with Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann (founder, male vocalist) and Fabienne Erni (female vocalist) which they did for the podcast of Beth Roars: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y14pAyoAiIM.html . Fabienne and Guitarist Jonas Wolf also have a side project called "Illumishade" thats worth checking out.
Eluveitie is one of my favorite bands, I'm so happy to see you reacting to them! They have a huge focus on Gaul lore and references to specific regions, have many songs with Gaulish lyrics, and tons of imagery and stories from the Gallic Wars. Also hurdy-gurdy is the best, and their current player used to do hurdy-gurdy covers on RU-vid before being recruited when their former player left
Great reaction as always. Eluveite is hands down the best live band I have seen and I didn't even know who the where when i got the tickets, they toured with a favorite of mine Lacuna Coil and was absolutely blown away. Most metal bands have drum or guitar solos, Eluveite have Hurdy-Gurdy solos, how can you not love that
And if you want a recommendation for another video, you will probably have a lot to say about "The Pretty Reckless" and their song 25. The singer is Taylor Momsen former child actress (she was in The Grinch with Jim carrey among other things) turned rockstar and it's very clear music is her real passion.
"This was my rebirth As one with pain and with distress Sweet surrender in serenity Will I remember this womb at all? Will I never know?" Celts were very into being reborn. Specifically, they understood that you are in darkness in the womb. In this case they're wondering if they will remember this world at all when reborn into a Roman one.
I love the juxtaposition of Chrigel and Fabienne both yelling "I am the softly whispered word". 🤣 That verse as a whole reminds me of "Do not stand at my grave and weep".
If I recall correctly, "Rebirth" was the first single released after several members left and new ones joined, so the song kind of feels like an introduction to the "new" Eluveitie members.
Woohoo, nice analysis, I love Eluveitie! Call of the Mountains is a good second Eluveitie song, that was before Anna, Ivo and Merlin left to make their band Cellar Darling, which is also amazing - see Insomnia for a good choice from them. Love the videos, keep it up! 🖤 P.S. Another vote for Alter Bridge and Myles Kennedy!
I would definitely recommend Cellar Darling (with three former members of Eluveitie). There is a nice live version of Insomnia, which is one of my favorites.
I first saw Eluveitie supporting another band, having never heard of them before. They nearly blew the main act out of the water! Michalina Malisz is the hurdy gurdy player. She has her own channel doing some gurdy covers, and has a company that builds them too!
If you would like some more Hurdy Gurdy and folk music I would definitely recommend Patty Gurdy featuring Faun “Luring” Very relaxing song with two great singers
hello teacher Elizabeth, I am a new follower and I really appreciate your work on RU-vid, unfortunately I was not able to be present during the magnificent parties to celebrate the numbers of subscribers, but even so I was very happy with their achievements. I come through this text to ask for attention to our Brazilian MAESTRO, Andre Matos, I believe that other of our faithful and dedicated fans of the Maestro do Rock have already appeared here to make a similar request. If they haven't done it yet, I'll try to whip them myself hahahaha. Just kidding (or not) but here is the suggestion of the video clip MAKE BELIEVE - Angra or another expressive song from her second band SHAAMAN, the sweet INNOCENCE. Unfortunately our MAESTRO left for the choir of paradise a short time ago, almost two years have passed and there are always new exciting tributes appearing. Mine is this, it is asking you to be one more star to reflect the brilliance of the most fabulous Brazilian musician of all time.
If you're looking for more songs from Eluveitie, I recommend: Celtos (my favorite for a good blend between styles) A Rose for Epona (look for a live version with Anna Murphy, although I like Fabi equally well) Inis Mona (listen to the traditional folk song Tri Martolod first- Eluveitie uses a lot of traditional melodies in their music) Of course everything from this band is wonderful, you really can't go wrong.
The instrument that you mention is Hurdy Gurdy. Their first singer Anna Murphy used to play that. She left the band and she created a new one with the name Cellar Darling. You should check it.
I hope after we see this Reaction . . . That you discover the "Anna Murphy" era of the band as well (as suggested under your Dark Elf song :). Looking forward to this! Anna's band "Cellar Darling" is quite good too, but a different style than Eluveitie.
GREAT reaction as always (especially with the gutteral voices - haha, always fun)! Be sure to watch the video; "A Rose For Epona" with Anna Murphy singing who also played the Hurdy Gurdy (and Pipes), and has a few demonstration videos here at Yt. The song hooks are VERY catchy, and has a great melody, not as extreme as this one. The drummer of that time "Merlin Sutter" and 1 of the guitarists "Ivo Henzi" form the band "Cellar Darling" with Anna. There are PLENTY of bands in "Folk Metal" to checkout (Skyclad, and Amorphis are 2 of the originals, but the genre has exploded in the last 12 years or so).
Thank you for exploring the magical world of the Folk Metal! Eluveitie is a gem, especially to see them live! Glad such fusion of genres fascinates you too, another brilliant example in this field would be Arkona from Russia with their amazing lead singer Masha "Scream" Arkhipova who is the best female metal screamer/growler in the world, combining with very traditional folky Russian clear voice techniques.
Fabienne is such an awesome singer, she also has her own band called Illumishade, where you can hear much more of her, it's really worth checking out! "Rise", "The Endless Vow", "World's End" are all fantastic examples of Fabi's talent
Thank you again, Elizabeth, for another great reaction and for introducing me to 'Eluveitie' (and the hurdy gurdy) - Celtic / Gaelic Folk Metal (?). My father was a sailor of Celtic / Gaelic descent, so I grew up on pipes and drums, jigs and shanties, and this sound stirs some really (beloved) primal emotions in me, even though I've grown up on the other end of the planet. If you loved the combination of folk instruments and how each of them was given a moment to shine, I'd recommend Wagakki band - an eight-piece Japanese Folk Rock / Metal band, who do some awesome arrangements with traditional Japanese folk instruments and modern rock instruments (wadaiko drums - Kurona, shamisen - Beni, koto - Kiyushi, shakuhachi flute - Daisuke, conventional drums - Wasabi, guitar - Machiya, and bass - Asa), where all instruments are given a chance to shine, alongside Yuko Suzuhana's very distinctive shigin-style vocals. They have a communal composition approach, where the band member who comes up with the idea for each song leads the composition for that piece, but each instrumentalist arranges the segments or harmonies for their respective instruments. I get the impression that Yuko is the 'leader' of the band, but the styles of songs they play can be quite varied - ballads, dance, laments, rock, metal and jazz, rap - with each band member having a different mix of influences. All vocals are mostly in Japanese, with occasional English phrases. Below are links to live YT videos from concerts, (not sure of copyright status, but others have reacted to some of these). Their live shows are as high quality sound as their music videos, which are also visually stunning. I have some links to music videos for other songs, but the music videos for the live tracks are also quite stunning. almost all of their music videos are them singing and playing in various scenarios, but I don't know how real it actually is. Live concert videos: 'Homura' + 'Akatsuki no ito' (2015, 1st Japan Tour - most common YT video with two tracks: 'Homura' - instrumental intro - and 'Akatsuki no ito' - older track, their unofficial anthem, with a mix of traditional and modern instruments and Yuko's distinctive vocals, backed up by Machiya): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ponTbDDMYjw.html Akatsuki no ito (2019, Japan React Tour, rock, shigin-style vocals from Yuko): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VJEDWhP6Qm4.html Rokuchounen to Ichiya Monogatari (2018, Dai Shinnenkai concert - originally a vocaloid cover from their first album - very agile vocals from Yuko): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-90QRPSZDzsA.html Tengaku (2020?

Hopefully, I can repay the favour with this.
You should check out Eluveitie’s “The Siege” or “Quoth the Raven” live with their previous female vocalist, Anna Murphy, she sings and do harsh vocals as well.
Solid recommendation as a starter to Doom Metal is Orchard by Windhand Great guitar, ominous lyrics, Dorthia Cottrell's vocals are always great and a deep, heavy crushing sound with ambiance at a slow pace that feels like a car has been parked on your lap through soundwaves while still being accessible.
Few years back I had the honor to have a talk with the singer and share few drinks, he has a great down to earth personality. He told me that they all took singing lessons from an opera singer from New York and mentioned that several metal singers take lessons from her, unfortunately I forgot her name =/ By the way I've watched few of your videos and I really enjoy your content, I'm myself am a metalhead but I love music in general and with time I've learned to appreciate all genres. Keep up the great work! greetings from Switzerland!
You should check out Volbeat! I'm curious to hear what you think of his voice, my picks for songs would either be Leviathan or Die to Live, both off their newest album.
I love your enthusiasm and the way you approach different styles om music! Not only do you describe the technique of the singer(which is why I started to follow you), but you clearly know HOW to listen to music. This is a very underapprecieated artform and you excel at it. As a Swede it's fairly easy to distinguish Irish from Finnish folk musik, but I get why it's reminiscent to to you. I can't explain it, it's just a matter of tonality, rythm, or a general feel. I have no idea, it's just there :)
If you get on with this you should take a look at the previous singers new band, Cellar Darling. Avalanche, Starcrusher or Freeze would be my picks but they are consistently good, so literally any song would work. Also, there is a video on youtube called Rock the Classic: Eluveitie you should check out. It's about the combination of metal and classical music, and adapting a classical piece for a metal band. With your background you might find it interesting.
Eluveitie's sound is so unique. They have a lot of reaction-worthy material. I would especially recommend acoustic versions of The Call of the Mountains and Omnos, but any of their songs would do tbh.
I miss the Cellar Darling trio these days, Anna Murphy is on a whole different level IMO! Saw them live a few years ago when Anna etc. were still with the band and it was a magical hour and a half. Now I must go listen to “Omnos” and “Inis Mona “😀
Man this is one of the most cheesy and overhyped bands in the rock landscape atm imo. But yeah I all subjective of course. The just trigger me every time :D
@@KyuubiNaruto82 Partially you're right actually. There is just a great song with a lot of interesting vocal actions there. Just listen to this one, maybe you'll like it. Also, there is some Kiske.
Welcome to folk metal. you really can't go wrong here and it's a wonderful place to explore. It's all so different because it draws from so many cultures but it is all wonderful. My recommendations: Arkona (russian) Korpiklanni (finland/sumi) Skalmold (iceland) and bloodywood (india)
It would be cool if you checked up Cradle of Filth, nymphétamine. Dani Filth, the singer, really knows how to write lyrics, creating own words and sing with so many voices it would be cool to see your reaction. A Ghost in the fog, is also a good one.
PLEASE DO MORE ELUVEITIE! Definitely "King". "Alesia", or "Antegnatos". Also, much of their melodies are based off of real folk songs. And the lyrics often come from gaulish and latin language folk songs. THEYRE SO COOL
Also, this is the last song on the album. It shares a similar chorus to the first song (Antegnatos) and the whole album is about that concept of death, zen, and rebirth. In other words, they fucking rule. \m/
Wow, I learn a lot from these videos. Elizabeth highlights the particular talents and techniques of genres that I once considered "noise". I kinda get it now, these bands have an aggressive approach, yet professional in their own way, esoteric scales and "harsh" vocals. It's just part of their message. So interesting.
yea, I love Eluiveitie so much. Would love to see you do more folk - metal stuff. A really fantastic Folk-Metal band from Australia is Valhalore! Give them some love!
Since you asked about people's take on the lyrical meaning of the song, this was released not long after a major band lineup change where 3 members left and 4 were hired to replace them (former female singer also played the gurdy and the new ones are separate) so I think it's about reassessing the the way the band writes and operates internally, but that's just my take on it
