REACTING to ELUVEITIE (The Call Of The Mountains) 🏔🎤🔥 

Fun fact, there are 5 versions of this song - the English version and one in each of the 4 official languages of Switzerland (French, German, Italian, and Romanche)! It's supposed to be a kind of love letter to their homeland.

"Yeah, I play in a metal band..." "Oh, cool! What instrument do you play?" "The harp..."

I love this song. Every time you go for a walk in a forest, you're guaranteed to bump into a folk metal band :)

I remember when this song came out like it was yesterday and it was like "newer Eluveitie" to me but damn, it's from 2014, I'm old! 😂 "Inis Mona" is a Folk Metal anthem so I guess it's a must :)

Yep as someone else says (and I've mentioned them before) Cellar Darling.

Chase.. please react to "Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down".. please...

Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter from this line up are now in Cellar Darling. Ivo is the Rhythm guitarist in this video and Merlin is the drummer. In Cellar Darling Anna sings, plays Flute, Keys and Hurdy-Gurdy. Live they have a touring musician play keyboards. Ivo plays Guitar and Bass. Live they have a touring musician play Bass. Merlin plays Drums. I recommend Death live at RU-vid Space London. Also listen to the album "The Spell" since it is a concept album.

Since this was a somewhat lighter song vocally, my next suggestion would be "Thousandfold" by them. For contrast. :)

All hail the Pause Master ⏸ He didn’t pause during the solo so all’s good 🤘🏻

Please react to Cellar Darling: "The Spell" or "Avalanche". I promise that you'll see/hear Anna Murphy again...😅😛😎🎼🎶🎶

I love your reactions! My suggestions: King, Inis Mona, Ategnatos, Thousandfold, A Rose for Epona, Slania's Song, Alesia and Dessumiis Luge 😊

Anna Murphy was good with Eluveitie, but I'm happy she left and formed her own band, Cellar Darling. Now I actually like Cellar Darling more than I've ever liked Eluveitie. Their album last year, The Spell, might have been my favorite album of the year if Tool didn't release Fear Innoculum. If you want to check them out, "Death" is probably the first song I'd go with.

If you want to hear more of Anna Murphy, you should check out the band she joined after she left Eluveitie, Cellar Darling. Also, Fabienne (the current singer, on the Rebirth video) has a side-project called ILLUMISHADE.

The children choir is the Children choir from the Conservatory in Winterthur, Switzerland If you want to hear a more aggressive one from the Anna era try King or Meet the enemy

Man we want more Eluveitie.

This is a go to song whenever heading out on an outdoor adventure. So good. If you want an all instrumental wonder that gives similar vibes and should be added to your adventure playlist: The Last of the Wilds - Nightwish 🤘

Anna is with Cellar Darling...she's awesome...very unique voice...Hurdy Gurdy times lets go Chase...🎧🎵🎶🎤🔊👍🖤..love your channel bud and your reactions.. analytic break down.....keep safe, happy and healthy man ..🖤💟🤟

Oh man, you want to hear their violin? Check out King! No missing it there.

Anna Murphy has a new band called Cellar Darling, check them out, very unique

The "mini" harp is a lap harp, instrument of BARDS!

Now you've gone and done it.....opened another rabbit hole I must dive deeply into!! :-) Sounds like the key elements have moved on to form Cellar Darling, I will check it out! Another great react/review, thanks!

This is a very good song and Anna Murphy is propably my favourite female singer alive. Her voice is just so... perfect.

So it was Anna, Merlin (drummer), and the Guitarist that left the band and started a Prog Metal band called Cellar Darling that has a very Pink Floyd feel to it. Rebirth was the first song after the separation of the band. I believe this was the last music video the 3 did with the band. If I remember also this was the first album with that violin player.

A Rose for Epona, King and Quoth the Raven are also good. My friend introduced me to eluveitie way back 2015 and The Call of the Mountains is one of my favorites from this band. Anna Murphy is just fantastic specially with her hurdy-gurdy. Great reaction as always.

Anna Murphy is now in a band called Cellar Darling which you should also check out. She's amazing!

Chase, I’m excited as this is one of my favorite songs. But looking back through your roster, I haven’t seen a song by Amaranthe yet. You’re really missing out Elize is a mainstay and does performances with Kamelot and even did some Nightwish with the turmoil between Annette and Nightwish. Seriously Chase. Check out Amaranthe Dynamite is my recommendation, but they released a song called Archangel “I think” just earlier today that is well worth checking out. Give it a shot you won’t be disappointed.

You must heard the Songs that they sing in ancient galic😂😂😂my favorite Is lvgvs (lugus Is pronunced)

You know, I’m not Swiss - this song kinda makes me want to turn Swiss though! 😍

Eluveitie definitely has two sides to their music. Both done excellent.

You should check out Cellar Darling as well. It was formed by Anna, Merlin & Ivo when they left Eluveitie in 2016.

If you want more agressive songs with this lineup + Songs where Anna Murphy does screams, then you need to check Out "meet the enemy" or "quoth the raven". :D

as always...great reaction and explanation and i like your very respectful comments every time

Anna Murphy is fantastic as is this band. Folk-metal at it's best.

I love her singing Slanias Song (Eluveitie) ...one of my favoirites...

"Im getting very excited arent I" Awesome! Love Eluvietie - check out the violin solo on From Darkness :)

In case you didn't know, they did a swiss german language version of this song as well. Just if you are curious how that might sound, give it a try. You won't regret it. It's awesome!

Innis Mona, King, Thousandfold, Dance of Victory!

Hi there! If you want to here well their violin, I recommend you "King". It has a damn crazy violin solo perfectly placed and accompained with the tin whistle... Another great song from Eluveitie. Cheers!

The whistle is a "low whistle", like the irish tin whistle only in a lower tone. The bagpipe is a spanish "gaita calega", sounds very similar to the Great Highland Pipe but not as sharp and crisp more smooth like a northumbrian or border pipe.

I actually hheard them play live with this singer at a small (200 people aproximately) show called "A Night with Eluveitie". It was phenomenal! It was 2 hours long. There were like 9 mucisians on stage lol. 1st hour was all acoustic and very folky. The 2nd hour was more metal. It's one of my best memories. And they played this song and all of us in the crowd participated.

Just for fun look at "SCHANDMAUL - Der Teufel 2.4 (Internationale Version 2015)". Just a drinking song from a german band. What makes it interesting is that they invited bands and communities to add to it regardless of music genre or language (hence V2.4... it grew).

The violin is interesting. It might just be a really dark stained wood, or some other composite material, but there are a few outfits making classical string instruments out of carbon fiber. I always wanted to play one just to see how it sounds. I think from the shape of the scroll she's playing a Luis and Clark carbon fiber violin.

Fantastic as always. This is one of the first songs I ever heard from Eluveitie, and you're 100% correct (of course you are): The chorus is catchy as hell. Another one of their tracks which I REALLY like is Epona. It features Fabienne (their newer female singer) and is sung in the nearly extinct Gaulish language. Super awesome.. If you're in need of a bit of levity, and let's face it, who isn't these days? There's a video which kept popping up in my feed which I kept ignoring it because I'm not a huge fan of DragonForce, but it was "DragonForce attempts to write a Nightwish song in 10 minutes". It's amazing, and it was awesome to see Floor make an appearance in the comments section too :) I'm a huge Nightwish fan, and I know your are quickly becoming one too. No need to do a reaction video for it, but if you have a spare 15 mins one day it's well worth checking out for a laugh.

Such an awesome band! Seen this version of Eluveitie as well as the current version of Eluveitie. Was supposed to see them again in 3 days but COVID 19 messed that up. :( Such a Great live band! If you ever get the chance to see them live, don't miss it. Hoping someday that Cellar Darling comes to my area as well. (Anna's new band) If you want more a aggressive song, react to Eluveitie's song King. 😁

Yes that is a very iconic song of theirs and they did it in multiple languages XD The chorus makes me smile a lot too =) The Alps are, though im very biased here, among the top 5 most gorgeous mountains on the planet. Maybe nto as high as the Himmalayas or steep as the Andes or long as the ural but it has the best of everything. fantastic deep long caves and ice caves, lots of grottos, tons of waterfalls, glaciers, high mountaintops....XD and fantastic woodland and some unique flora that you will only find there

another one for my playlist, thanks for helping me discover so much amazing music Chase!

Please reaction to Cellar Darling "Insomnia". You won't be disapointed. Its Anna's best vocals, IMO. An absolute masterpeice.

Inis Mona is a great song from them. Quite an oldie though 👍

Loved it! I cannot wait for more Eluveitie! I gotta give a recommendation for 2 tracks off of their Helvetios album. The very first track (Prologue) and the second track (Helvetios). The prologue sets up the whole album (it's a concept album about the Gallic wars from the perspective of the the Helvetians), so it's really good to do the first two tracks as a single reaction. It just sets everything up so very nicely. And Helvetios is on the heavier side. Still has an awesome rhythm though. I think you'd love it from an instrumentation standpoint. Anyways, great reaction! Keep them coming!

This song is a favorite of mine... as long as Anna is signing it. Fabi (the current singer) is fabulous, but her voice and style are just so different that neither this song nor "Rose for Epona" work for me when she sings them. This is very much an "ANNA" song.

Magical

If you want to go down the Anna Murphy rabbit hole, when she left Eluveitie, a couple other members left with her and are in another band called Cellar Darling. Black Moon and Avalanche are good songs to check out.

"The bassist looks like he was playing on an acoustic bass...unless I'm crazy." Haha that was so random.

Dear Chase, you must check "Ne Obliviscaris -- Forget Not". if you never heard it. Amazing song, with lot of things to say. You won't regret.

Yet another band to add to my exploration of music. Thank you

Where Owls Know My Name by Rivers of Nihil for some more non traditional instruments in metal 😏👍🤘

Was so sad when Anna, Merlin and Ivo left the band. I was on 2 of their shows with that lineup and it really was amazing. Chrigel is the best on stage. I don't really like their current direction though and their new lineup. As far as the songs go I'd recommend Inis Mona (A MUST), King, Slania's song, Dessumiis luge (for some awesome Anna's vocals), Kingdom Come Undone and my personal favourite Alesia. If you gonna do Alesia, google the historic event, that this song is based on, it will make much more sense.

This song is awesome. They actually made a French version of that song called "L'Appel des Montagnes" which is the perfect translation of the English title. And actually they played the French version on a gig just after the terrorist attack in the Bataclan in Paris in November 2015, as a beautiful tribute. A good friend of mine was at this show, that I believe was in Glasgow, and he told me that the emotion was so deep, everybody cried in the audience and even the band. And actually I heard it, you can feel the emotion, it made me cry. Now everytime I listen to this song I think of that.

I just realized that this has very similar riffs and progressions to "Shot in the Dark" by Within Temptation. Hadn't noticed that before.

I also love the song A Rose For Epona by Eluveitie. And you are introduced to many instruments you say. But have you heard Anna play the Hurdy Gurdy yet? If not, you should definitely check out her band Cellar Darling. Avalanche is a good song, or Black Moon.

love your reactions, thanks. it's indeed a children choir at the end, and i think they are singing in gaulish.

Love me some folk metal. After the last one I was kinda meh going into this, but this is really good. The key change towards the end really gave the song new life when it was starting to get a little tired.

Please, Chase, could you react to this: CELLAR DARLING - 'Death' Live at RU-vid Space London (OFFICIAL LIVE VIDEO) next? This is the band the singer Anna Murphy founded with a few other guys from Eluveitie. It is a different type of metal as you will find.

Loves Eluveitie! Here's some more for your reaction list: * A rose for Epona (more rock-ish, with Anna) * Ategnatos (Epic!), with Fabienne and Chrigel) * King (Only Chrigels harsh vocals, extremely powerful with a great violine solo) * Sleepwalker (Fabienne and Chrigel) * Ambiramus (A happy one. Would fit for Eurovision)

If you like the celtic influences, and want try something not so metal, then a truly unique band is Afro Celt Sound System, their blend of instruments and cultures is breath taking - try searching for "Cascade - Afro Celt Sound System" for a live performance.

You should check out Alesia, luxtos, a rose for epona, Ategnatos, ambiramos, thousandfold, meet the enemy, Helvetios and Inis mona! They are all superb examples of the range of Eluveitie

9:58 yeah I don't blame you, that's Anna Murphy for you :D

This one and King are my two favorite Eluveitie songs. Keep the pauses coming.

Thanks for another great reaction Chase. I just posted this comment/request on another video of yours but it fits better here: I’d love to hear what you think about Cellar Darling - they are formed by a few former members of Eluveitie including Anna Murphy. They are a folk/prog metal band. My favorites are “Insomnia” and “Death” which are from their latest album. Their live sessions of those songs are great but I really think the studio version is best for a first listen because it’s properly balanced/mixed - which has a huge effect on the general feeling of these songs.

I love their acoustic album. I was listening to it for weeks.

Glad you reacted to this song. So lovely. It almost has a church psalm feeling about it, though that's not the theme behind it. I was on an Eluveite kick today, been listening to the Evocation albums. Super cool this reaction lined up.

Another great reaction video, Chase. It´s best song from Eluveitie. Great Masterpiece from this band. I think Eluveitie is Folk Metal. I´m not sure. Chase, you´re doing great again. Really I love your reaction videos. You´re an incredible man. Please, keep up the great work. Rock On and Horns Up :-).

I've listened to this song literally hundreds of times and you still managed to point out multiple things I've never noticed before. Really changes the way I hear things after watching your videos and makes me appreciate the music more. Pause whenever you want man I'm here to hear what you have to say or else I'd just go listen to the song by itself. Recommending anything from Amaranthe

📲⛰️!!!!! Fiddle, harp, mandola, hurdy-gurdy, flute, bodhran..... great instruments!...... "I'm in a metal band".. "Cool! What do you play?".... "Flute".......!!!!?..............Please look at Victoria K, she performed with Eluvietie in Australia (she's a bit like Anna).... Any Naio Ssaion on your list? They are a Slovenian band like "Lullacry" or "Evanescence" with violin!

Yet again, the reason I like bagpipes, if you play than right they fit into many different music genres. A very versatile instrument.

My absolute favorite song by them!

RoadRunner United - In the Fire . One of the best solos

Epica + Eluveitie my best live show ever

I was just thinking I wanted a reaction to this song, and then this drops. Nice.

Eluveitie is one of my favorite band, my 3 favorite songs is "Slania Song", "Quote the Raven" and "Alesia". Anna Murphy have a really great voice and she have her own band now "Cellar Darling" you'll probably like it too.

Eluveitie have so many different styles, this is more popish. Please do "Inis Mona", "Slanias Song" or "Omnos"

Eluveitie definitely excel at creating powerful moods/energies/feels with their own unique twists in different songs, but with a very cohesive and beautiful theme running through them. I’d recomend Ambiramus or Epona next

Next: Eluveitie: Thousandfold, Ategnatos, A Rose For Epona, Epona, Caturix, The Slumber, King.... anything Eluveitie, really.... Oh´,- and check out Furor Callico too...: Waterstrings, Canto D´Inverno, Song Of The Earth.... Italian Folk Metal.... Tyr: Sinklars Visa, Hold The Heathen Hammer High, Sunset Shore.... Amon Amarth: Guardians Of Asgard, Pursuit Of Vikings, Twilight Of The Thunder God..Nordic Vikingr Metal.... The list goes on.....

Thanks Chase. Yet another stonking review :-). I for one am never disappointed.

I've never heard the english version its different but also good!

This song was great. I think I had heard it before but somehow forgot about it. Adding to playlist now.

I'd reccomend reacting to MaYaN - Saints Don't Die & The Rhythm of Freedom (that band is related to EPICA, btw).

The additional layer of Anna's vocals you heard in the chorus is brought to the front in the non-English and live versions of the song.

And another great (very tragic) slower song with Anna would be "Alesia".

Inis Mona is an absolute must

Three levels of Eluveitie.... You've done the full on deathfolk in rebirth... Now the radio freindly anthemic level of this one... Next up is the accoustic level... Artio is a good one,

Anna was also the original Gurdy player

I first discovered these guys supporting Lacuna Coil last year and their live show is so impressive.

Ah you´ve been doing (so clever-charmingly :-) ) also this ageless, really emotional classic piece (and video) of the genre And I see enjoyed it a Lot just like I´ve been already long time + coming so to listen & watch it at U2B again and again when That feeling hits, ha! :Thanks4This2: :YouHaveAGreatTasteOfQualityMusic:

It is Burke tin whistle made in the US base on its mouthpiece

Two things: 1. Could you consider going back to live Nightwish reactions: I will love "Last Ride of the Day" form Wacken 2013 with Floor (and Marco!) 2. Did you know that if I search for "Chase Cameron" I got back only clips from the Dr. House series? haha.

good song, if you want she did the same song in French, Italian and German if you want another listen lol. You should check out the song Celtos, that song features them singing in Gaulish, an extinct language!

I miss Anna so much 😭 It will be cool if you react to King too.

If you think you are impressed by Anna Murphy now, you should react to the live version of Death by her new band Cellar Darling.

Chase, please angle your "have a damn good day" sign a bit to the side to avoid the light reflection hiding the "day". Thanks for another damn good reaction!
