Eluveitie - Discografia

Gênero: Folk/Death Metal

País: Suiça

Biografia: "Eluveitie - New Wave Of Folk Metal"...

...as you can read on this website, is a bold statement for a band to give to itselfs. But with their brand new full-length Record "Spirit", they truly back it up.

Eluveitie clearly belongs to the fast growing Pagan Metal-scene, anyhow brings some "fresh air" into it. Eluveitie's sound is traditional, authentic celtic Folk Music combined in a unique way with modern styled Melodic Death Metal, strongly influenced by the classic “Göthenburg Sound”.

Originally formed by Mastermind Chrigel Glanzmann in winter 2002 as a mere studio-project, the first EP "Vên" was recorded in 2003, already unique in it's way of having the Folk-Part being on an equal footing with the Metal-Instruments. This self-financed MCD was ardently received by the scene, zines etc. and sold out within a few Months. In 2004 Eluveitie signed to the dutch label Fear Dark Records, which released a re-mastered (and partly re-recorded) version of "Vên", and continued as a "real" band, playing gigs together with bands such as Cruachan, Korpiklaani and Skyforger.

Although many line-up changes still had to happen, Eluveitie grew into being a band, and developed it's very own style, formed by the many different influences of nine musicians rooted in different styles of music. In late 2005, Eluveitie was finally ready to enter the studio and record their first full-lenght Album, to be released on Fear Dark Records again. With "Spirit" , Eluveitie goes a big step forward, presenting a completely new style of Folk Metal to the scene - starting a new wave of Folk Metal!

Comentários: Bom, como já comentei no outro post, Eluveitie é uma banda suíça que mescla Death Metal com isntrumentos celtas e tem o galês como idioma principal de suas composições. Destaco na banda o uso mais que perfeito dos instrumentos típicos, flautas, gaitas-de-fole, entre outros que caem como uma luva as melodias pesadas da banda. A banda abusa da bateria perversa, Blast-Beats existem aos montes e o bumbo duplo rega todas as músicas. Os vocais são sempre entre os guturais, coros e ocasionais limpos mais 'cantantes'. A temática, como se nota claramente são lendas e mitos Celtas, por isso não me venham com 'Viking', por que isso aqui é coisa de elfinho mesmo. Considero a melhor banda de Folk mesmo, sem ser Viking, por isso aproveitem!
