the guys played soulfully and the soloist is beyond praise beauty and talent -the guys of the whole group are talents - the song has sunk into my heart - I listen to it very often
"hey, what do you guys do?" "we're a metal band" "cool. you there in the middle, what do you play?" "bagpipes." "huh? what about your friend there?" "the harp." "huh."
Ajang Rohmana It's true. I went walking around in the woods just the other day; and, next thing I know, I’m playing the hurdy-gurdy and head banging. Which isn’t as easy at it might sound, I can tell you that much. Like trying to pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time, so it is.
I COULD mention songs on (at least) equal footing as this, but yea, it's quite the top tier (given a listen or 4 ) .. Folk metal (in general) has something "unique" about it, it has a "soul" (so to speak) that often calls (and reaches) out to the listener like nothing else

This song is a true masterpiece the way they put all the instruments together. Not one drowns out another. You can hear the guitar in the background while the other instruments overlap it. Masterfully done. And her voice is amazing. The runs she does in the second verse, truly add something special to the song. So well done. i wish the song was about 30 seconds or so longer too.
Did the calculations, it's actually only one listen shy of five hours. Very impressive, I couldn't have done it. Listening to the same song twice in a row is a challenge for me.
+RandomBattleXP Other party comes across a bunch of dead orcs and confused bards. "How did you kill them?" "We were just singing and they all keeled over, we have no clue what happened."
And write songs in a dead Celtic dialect "In an interview, Swiss folk metal band Eluveitie said that some of their songs are written in a reconstructed form of Gaulish. The band asks scientists for help in writing songs in the language.[81]The name of the band comes from graffiti on a vessel from Mantua (c. 300 BC).[82] The inscription in Etruscan letters reads eluveitie, which has been interpreted as the Etruscan form of the Celtic (h)elvetios ("the Helvetian"),[83] presumably referring to a man of Helvetian descent living in Mantua." "The Helvetii (Latin: Helvētiī [hɛɫˈweːti.iː]), anglicized as Helvetians, were a Celtic tribe or tribal confederation occupying most of the Swiss plateau at the time of their contact with the Roman Republicin the 1st century BC. According to Julius Caesar, the Helvetians were divided into four subgroups or pagi.Of these Caesar names only the Verbigeni and the Tigurini, while Posidonius mentions the Tigurini and the Tougeni (Τωυγενοί). They feature prominently in the Commentaries on the Gallic War, with their failed migration attempt to southwestern Gaul (58 BC) serving as a catalyst for Caesar's conquest of Gaul." ...as far as I know the Helvetii were fu*king brutalized by the Roman Empire like all the Celts, fu*k the Roman Empire! They're gone and the Celts are still here 😄

@@matteotosin1044 I don't know about Italian but they have a few songs in Gaulish. I always thought that was pretty impressive since it's a dead language and nowhere near as common as something like Latin.
As I'm listening to this, I'm reminiscing about walking through the southern Bavarian woods a few years ago and how peaceful and serene it was during the dawn in winter and I'm missing it terribly. The call of the mountains is very, very real indeed.

False advertising. I've walked through the forests of Skyrim a thousand times, and never came across a single metal band. Bethesda's got some splainin' to do.
Metal is probably the most complex and varied genre in all of music. You can make it go with anything and make it sound good. It doesn't have to be growling to be metal. Power metal, thrash, folk, death/black, industrial, progressive, and God knows how many others. Metal has more sub-genres than the music industry has main genres.
+David Maglioli Is that so? I'm a lot into metal and I've always wondered if that is the only reason why I know so many subgenres of it and I'm just not aware of the variety of let's say hip hop, which I'm not knowledgeable about. So other genres are really more limited in variety as metal? That would be sad :(
+David Maglioli Ever heard of Jazz? It might not sound as different as the metal genres, but there are various styles too. I know that you can't compare Metal and Jazz, just wanted to say that.
As someone who shares the same first name, and have been a listener since 2016 (I knew of them earlier and regret not checking them out), I strongly agree
As someone whole lived all her life near mountains and had to move away this song brings me to tears. "The call of home" really hits in the heart. How I wish I could show this song to my father, who was a true mountain man.
"Where do you film your music video's?" "The woods." "Ok very strange, lets move on. What type of band is it?" "A metal band." "Typical. What do you play?" "The Flute."
Good luck on your separate paths. Best wishes to everyone in/or leaving the band. Looking forward to Ana's future projects and Eluveitie's new band mates and new album. *horns up*
I’m in the Rocky Mountains of America. I love this band and I love this song! Once you have lived in the mountains it gets into your soul. I understand the call, because every time I left I ended up back in them.
Thank you for this beautiful metal song. My fiance John David Spearman, who has passed away. Loved this song, this meant so much to him. He had and still has respect towards his heritage ❤
This video is refreshing to me all over again. This song always put John David in his happy place. Much respect and appreciation to Eluveitie. Passionate and talented musicians and vocalist. John David understood them, that was one thing that made me happy.
FERNANDO2TYNN CUAMATZI I'm from Germany. You can see that because of my name. So obviously I'm NOT from Spain. So why do you write spanish?? Although I could understand your comment because I'm learning spanish in school
Hendrik Müller soy de un lugar en donde la musica es otro mundo y relativamente me gusta eluveitie , el sonido que emite bajo la circunferencia de prolongación por cada nota ... quizás no entiendas
FERNANDO2TYNN CUAMATZI I don't unterstand what you said. I can say it again: write in english! Because nobody can understand what you want to say, including me.
Why do so many care about the name of genres? If this is enjoyable then what does it matter what it's called? For all I care, this could be unicornpussykillcore metal and I'd still be listening to the song.
why they left the band ??? what happened can you tell me ?? I don't know their official page on fb ... 😭😭😭 why are they leaving ?? they were just starting !! why all metal bands have to change their members all the time ... 😭 can't they just be all friends? 😭😭😭😭

I can say with absolute certainty that I'm never happier than when I'm out in the mountains with friends. Hiking, climbing, camping, doesn't matter. Just so long as it’s the mountains.
Same. I grew up in the mountains. I live in a city now, but a part of me still wants to return there on every possible occasion. Everyone always goes to the sea for vacation and I'm like - "Nah, mountains time!"
Fun fact for those are unaware: Eluveitie being a swiss band released this song, in adition to it's English version, in every native language spoken in Switzerland (Which are 4 bloody languages: Rumansch, Swiss-German, French and Italian)
Well its a good song I love the mix between metal and softer stuff, metal doesnt always has to be hard, and this is the calmest one, the album is out on spotify and it has some neat song, I actually loved this new one, and I held the last in high regard aswell great band. And dont worry your oppinions is not wrong, we cant love everything:D
Marcelo Arroyo Nope, they weren't!! They had 2 LPs and one EP out before the Arcane Dominion and they were really GREAT! Check e.g. "Tagernako" from "Spirit"... IMHO Eluveitie need to get off the 'metalcore' path asap, and get back to their roots, enhancing and boosting up their more folkish and traditional side as well... More maniac fiddle interludes (as in the "Siege") would be gr8, too! ;-))
Attic Dweller so you hated helvetios i take it? the female vocalist is featured on alot of the songs on it, the songs them selves are great, and considering the subject(the roman invasion of gaul) i'd say it's metal as fuck.
I saw them in a 9GAG post. 3 and a half years ago I moved from a crappy capital city to a mountain city. This song captures the essence of what I feel like up there, there is this timeless like presence of the ancients and everything that was and will be. And it makes sense, I looked it up and only ONE of the layers you might see on a side of a cliff takes millions of years to form. I am not very religious and I don't go to church, but if you want to speak with God, you go on the mountains. There you'll find your answers.
My brother thinks of all metal as death metal. So I showed him Iron Maiden's "Empire Of The Clouds", because it's a slow piano song. He reacted with "but how is that metal?"
Anna Murphy Now, now. They're not all bad. My country produces a golden band every once in a while. (Longer then I'd like). But even with that in mind, for a good band to arise from all the rap and mainstream gas that so many breathe in here. It's nothing short of a show of determination and strength in the metal that they want to show to everyone so that we can have more freedom in what we choose to listen to.
IgnisKing rap music promotes violence, rape, and drugs in of which my Queen here and all the rest like her are not screwed up like all the Americans are. Much better than the Americans and I will stand up for them all.
Best song they have ever done, I keep coming back to this one over and over again. I love the mix of traditional Celtic instruments and modern rock such a fascinating sound.
its new to me, a stray form typical metal, its fresh new edge and mix. im liking this and operatic metal too. computers open up a window of "easy find" should have got one 25 years ago. hahaha
Speaking as an American here, I find it so interesting that if I want to hear good metal, folk or anything along those lines, I now need to listen to Finish, Swiss & German bands. We used to make good metal like this, but not anymore. Thankfully the European countries are now doing it or I'd have nothing to listen to.
Lol, I don't remember the US making good folk metal or even the best metal in general. That's not something you get with money, you need to grow up in a certain amount of culture.
@@irokosalei5133 Back in the 90's and 80's the US was basically the hub for rock and metal. We lost our way after grunge and alternative rock became mainstream.
@@irokosalei5133 I agree with you if you mean American folk/pagan metal bands I also can't remember any. But in other metal genres like alternative, nu etc. americans have a lot of outstanding bands, I can name you heaps but we all know them and they really influenced the metal genre a lot in whole. Greetings from Russia!🏴🤘
@@j1n2 Yes, I agree, and Russia has one of the very best bands: Louna. I attended one of their concerts here in the U.S.A. about 5 years ago. I had a pleasant conversation with the singer Lou (Lousine) after the concert. Louna has released several excellent CDs.
This is Switzerland in a song. Forget about the stereotypical (though charming) yodelling, accordions, horns and cowbells for a minute and go back to the Swiss routes that to this day are still present. Stout independence, loyalty to your ancestral homeland and the longing to return to the Swiss alps. Funnily enough, the term 'nostalgia' was first coined by physicians in the 16th century when Swiss mercenaries became sick and depressed. It was concluded that years of campaigning abroad made them miss their mountaneous home and all the things that came with it - the meadows, snow on the peaks, decent cheese maybe. I'm also very drunk. Xx
Not Swiss myself but I know all too well 'the call of the mountains' (I'm part Austrian through the maternal lineage; part Ukrainian on that side too - don't ask) and whenever I get over there and visit the Alpine regions, I get that feeling that I am, well, home. There is nothing quite like gazing over the valleys on a clear day when all you can hear is the sound of the crickets in the long grass, the calls of the birds and the occasional cowbell - all I can say is that it enriches the soul and lifts the heart in ways that have to be experienced to be understood.
This song gives me so many different feels. I'm Irish and Norwegian by blood, and my hometown is Denver. I haven't lived in Colorado for a long time, and almost everyday, I hear the call of the mountains. I want to go home.
Brian Massey - - Aurora, CO & from here, we're trapped between Buckley AFB & D.I.A. But we can hear & see "The Call Of The Mountains", gotta' love them Rocky Mountains! Maybe one day you can go to where your bloodline hails from Pally - - peace Bro.
Loveland CO born and raised, and I've just discovered this band a few weeks ago and they're my most recent obsession. Great to see some CO representation here! I love to camp in our beautiful Rocky Mountain backyard, and I'll be sure to jam this band on my speaker as I take in the idyllic beauty and enjoy a strong beverage.
I saw a cover of Lamb of God - "Grace", played by a women on a hurdey gurdey, and a poster of this band was on the wall behind her. I just had to check you guys out. I am very glad I did. I enjoyed this very much!!

Lyrics :
Against the waves, with our swords in our hands
Against the sea, with our backs to the walls
Against distress, in the presence of our enemies
Against the storms, roaring at our faces
A cry rang out throughout the skies
A beckon, the flight of the cranes
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
What's that stir, so blatant in our sallying hearts?
What's that urge, that lifted up our longing eyes?
What's that ring, echoing from the leaden skies?
What's that augur, resounding from the lyre's strings?
A cry rang on in the sibilant winds
A behest, the outcry of the cranes
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
The voice in the wind, the saint in the sky
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts, the call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts, the song of the mountains

Camila Redfield the music video is beautiful too
Metal is probably the most complex and varied genre in all of music. You can make it go with anything and make it sound good. It doesn't have to be growling to be metal. Power metal, thrash, folk, death/black, industrial, progressive, and God knows how many others. Metal has more sub-genres than the music industry has main genres.
well said
+David Maglioli Is that so? I'm a lot into metal and I've always wondered if that is the only reason why I know so many subgenres of it and I'm just not aware of the variety of let's say hip hop, which I'm not knowledgeable about. So other genres are really more limited in variety as metal? That would be sad :(
+Deathly Phobia
Atheist rap and Nerdcore FTW!
+David Maglioli Ever heard of Jazz? It might not sound as different as the metal genres, but there are various styles too. I know that you can't compare Metal and Jazz, just wanted to say that.
You might want to look up a genre called "Classical Music"...
All these years later, and this is still the Platonic Ideal of a folk metal song.
As someone who shares the same first name, and have been a listener since 2016 (I knew of them earlier and regret not checking them out), I strongly agree
For me, this is the best Eluveitie lineup!
@Lowkey27 But luckily we have Cellar Darling. I aint mad!
Well you're clearly not aware of how good Ackermann is...
Every year as the weather gets cooler and Autumn is near, I get excited to pull out this album!
Honestly it is very much like a call home
THE EARTH IS FLAT !!!
@Malkav1379 I’m doing that right now! It’s going to be fall in 6 days and I’m listening to this!
I put this song on my spring playlist cuz it goes hand in hand with Earth Day
thats how i feel about blackwater park by opeth lol
This song brings tears of joy all the time. not sure why, it just does. A true masterpiece
i like the intro lyrics
Truly.
Check your DNA… my ancestors are from the mountains of Greece. Bloodshed, wars, hunger…
As someone whole lived all her life near mountains and had to move away this song brings me to tears. "The call of home" really hits in the heart. How I wish I could show this song to my father, who was a true mountain man.
I used to have a mountain range behind my house in Montana when I was younger I miss it a lot
"Where do you film your music video's?"
"The woods."
"Ok very strange, lets move on. What type of band is it?"
"A metal band."
"Typical. What do you play?"
"The Flute."
He's growling too
niiiiiiiiiez in heaven
Well, there are sub-genres of metal.
hahahaha also works with Harp!! And Bagpipes!! hahahaha
"And what's your name again?"
"Rob Scallon"
Good luck on your separate paths. Best wishes to everyone in/or leaving the band. Looking forward to Ana's future projects and Eluveitie's new band mates and new album. *horns up*
I love Anna and Fabienne. They are so beautiful and talented. I love this band, God bless them
I’m in the Rocky Mountains of America. I love this band and I love this song! Once you have lived in the mountains it gets into your soul. I understand the call, because every time I left I ended up back in them.
Same although in the Greek mountains of hot gates. We mountain people get each other though.
this is one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard, this is one of my all-time favorites as well such a well-written and performed song.
I don't know why I found this after 6 years but I love that mix of celtic music and metal
Me too
Thank you for this beautiful metal song. My fiance John David Spearman, who has passed away. Loved this song, this meant so much to him. He had and still has respect towards his heritage ❤
Sorry for your loss
This video is refreshing to me all over again. This song always put John David in his happy place. Much respect and appreciation to Eluveitie. Passionate and talented musicians and vocalist.
John David understood them, that was one thing that made me happy.
Oui allo, c'est la montagne.

Her voice is so beautiful! She has to be the singer of her own band after leaving Eluveitie!!
She is. She, Ivo, and Merlin have a new project called Cellar Darling.
Hendrik Müller es una hermosa voz y con el genero va muy bien
FERNANDO2TYNN CUAMATZI I'm from Germany. You can see that because of my name. So obviously I'm NOT from Spain. So why do you write spanish?? Although I could understand your comment because I'm learning spanish in school
Hendrik Müller soy de un lugar en donde la musica es otro mundo y relativamente me gusta eluveitie , el sonido que emite bajo la circunferencia de prolongación por cada nota ... quizás no entiendas
FERNANDO2TYNN CUAMATZI I don't unterstand what you said. I can say it again: write in english! Because nobody can understand what you want to say, including me.
Why do so many care about the name of genres? If this is enjoyable then what does it matter what it's called? For all I care, this could be unicornpussykillcore metal and I'd still be listening to the song.
You said it!
If it was called that then i'd listen even if it sucked! :P
Unicornpussykillcore metal. I like the sound of that.
*****
Ache to be different
Now we need a unicornpussykillcore metal band.
"I play in a Metal Band!" "Cool, what instrument?" "The Harp, The Flute and the Hurdy Gurdy!"
So sad to hear Anna, Merlin and Ivo leaving the band. I wish best for them.
what? :(
what?
What?
WHAT?
They made a statement about it on their FB page.
+Sabri Erdem What? no...Is so sad...omg...I will cry :'(
why they left the band ??? what happened can you tell me ?? I don't know their official page on fb ... 😭😭😭 why are they leaving ?? they were just starting !! why all metal bands have to change their members all the time ... 😭 can't they just be all friends? 😭😭😭😭
I finally found my entrance to the metal world.
Welcome!!
Piece of bread - Welcome, youngling! The way ahead of you is an exiting one!
@@Schattengewaechs99 I figured as much. Need to dig deeper now.
same here im new to metal
@@kaelin8775 Hey there, let's be new together.
Against the waves, with our swords in our hands
Against the sea, with our backs to the walls
Against distress, in the presence of our enemies
Against the storms, roaring at our faces
A cry rang out throughout the skies
A beckon, the flight of the cranes
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
What's that stir, so blatant in our sallying hearts?
What's that urge, that lifted up our longing eyes?
What's that ring, echoing from the leaden skies?
What's that augur, resounding from the lyre's strings?
A cry rang on in the sibilant winds
A behest, the outcry of the cranes
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
The voice in the wind
The signs in the sky
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
The call of the mountains
The call of the Alps
The call home
The tune in our hearts
The song of the mountains
Christian Herraiz nicely done :P
;-)
thx
gut gemachtes Vido , und ein ansprechendes Lied
This song absolutely blew my mind, I'm sad to have just found it but happy to hear it from now on
I'M GOOOOING UNDERRRRR
:D
+Shardicus DROWNING IN YOU-OOO-OOOOOOO
I'M FALLING FOREVEEEER
I'VE GOT TO BREAK THROUGH
***** SCREAM AT ME
I can say with absolute certainty that I'm never happier than when I'm out in the mountains with friends. Hiking, climbing, camping, doesn't matter. Just so long as it’s the mountains.
Same. I grew up in the mountains. I live in a city now, but a part of me still wants to return there on every possible occasion. Everyone always goes to the sea for vacation and I'm like - "Nah, mountains time!"
Good to see a band socially distancing themselves.
Corona is gay

I'd risk catching Covid 19 going spuds deep with that chick
And doing it in 2014 is even more impressive!
Fun fact for those are unaware: Eluveitie being a swiss band released this song, in adition to it's English version, in every native language spoken in Switzerland
(Which are 4 bloody languages: Rumansch, Swiss-German, French and Italian)
EITA PORRA KKKKKK WTF
That's really cool
Another fun fact for those unaware: People who think they're "pansexual" are actually bisexual because there are only two genders.
Being Scottish you had me at heavy metal bagpipes.
"Dude, you cant make Irish fiddle flute metal"
Eluveitie "hold my beer"
Think that be hold my ale
Technically, Gaulish fiddle flute metal.
@@apollyonthedestroyer4107 lmao I was just about to comment that. Great minds think alike.

Até hoje não acredito que um Folk Metal conseguiu tudo isso de views! Parabéns ao Eluveitie!
Pop song with guitars ,drums and bagpipes,Eluveitie you fucked up hard
Well its a good song I love the mix between metal and softer stuff, metal doesnt always has to be hard, and this is the calmest one, the album is out on spotify and it has some neat song, I actually loved this new one, and I held the last in high regard aswell great band. And dont worry your oppinions is not wrong, we cant love everything:D
I bet that's partly Nuclear Blast's fault. Have you heard what this "label" does to Wintersun?
The only difference I see is that the growls are replaced with clean vocals... That doesn't make it a pop song to me
Marcelo Arroyo Nope, they weren't!! They had 2 LPs and one EP out before the Arcane Dominion and they were really GREAT! Check e.g. "Tagernako" from "Spirit"...
IMHO Eluveitie need to get off the 'metalcore' path asap, and get back to their roots, enhancing and boosting up their more folkish and traditional side as well... More maniac fiddle interludes (as in the "Siege") would be gr8, too! ;-))
Attic Dweller
so you hated helvetios i take it? the female vocalist is featured on alot of the songs on it, the songs them selves are great, and considering the subject(the roman invasion of gaul) i'd say it's metal as fuck.
I love Ann for her "uuhuh"
Dimas Spirt same here bro
Interestingly, the other language versions don't have the "uuhuh" part
FUCK U
and dont forget that nose...
@@jimlotus4428 U2!
This song brings me the happy memories of the summer just gone
I saw them in a 9GAG post. 3 and a half years ago I moved from a crappy capital city to a mountain city. This song captures the essence of what I feel like up there, there is this timeless like presence of the ancients and everything that was and will be. And it makes sense, I looked it up and only ONE of the layers you might see on a side of a cliff takes millions of years to form. I am not very religious and I don't go to church, but if you want to speak with God, you go on the mountains. There you'll find your answers.
Proof that Melodic Metal exists and Metal has evolved.
My brother thinks of all metal as death metal. So I showed him Iron Maiden's "Empire Of The Clouds", because it's a slow piano song. He reacted with "but how is that metal?"
@@ericolsen5592 Metal is not a sound! Its a frame of mind.
When you see the Alps for the first time, it will be love at first sight. Sooner or later you will want to live there.
Beautiful melody
Anna Murphy You are one of my Queens of music. Beautiful melody
Anna Murphy Love it. You and all the women of metal over their have America beat.
Anna Murphy I have spoken the truth. They all are horrible over here.
Anna Murphy Now, now. They're not all bad. My country produces a golden band every once in a while. (Longer then I'd like). But even with that in mind, for a good band to arise from all the rap and mainstream gas that so many breathe in here. It's nothing short of a show of determination and strength in the metal that they want to show to everyone so that we can have more freedom in what we choose to listen to.
IgnisKing rap music promotes violence, rape, and drugs in of which my Queen here and all the rest like her are not screwed up like all the Americans are. Much better than the Americans and I will stand up for them all.
First time listening: Not bad, not my favorite but it was alright
Second time listening: CALL OF THE MOUNTAIN
True Story :D
Im glad we all saw the error of our ways
Honestly, why is this so accurate??
Me too dude.
The first time hearing this I was like "Hmm yeah nice" and I forgot about it some weeks. Then I relistened and DAMMIT I can't get away from it!!
"What do you do?"
"I'm in a heavy metal band"
"Oh cool, what instrument?"
"All"
Not heavy metal, this is folk metal
@@IzayoiMeiHigu oh ok i thought it was metal tbh
@@jackaboy1328 I'm pretty sure it is its just a different subgenre

2. Bagpipe
3. The drummer is beautiful
I wish there were more people like you and me.
What about the flute!?

Best song they have ever done, I keep coming back to this one over and over again. I love the mix of traditional Celtic instruments and modern rock such a fascinating sound.
I love this song so much feel the Homeland coursing through my veins with any song I listen to by these guys 🇮🇪☘️💚
That children's choir at the end of the song is just beautifully hunting. ❤🤘
Do you mean - 'haunting '?
@@nrg16108 no, hunting.

its just excellent music, beautiful vocals plus instruments not typically found in metal.
its new to me, a stray form typical metal, its fresh new edge and mix. im liking this and operatic metal too. computers open up a window of "easy find" should have got one 25 years ago. hahaha

Speaking as an American here, I find it so interesting that if I want to hear good metal, folk or anything along those lines, I now need to listen to Finish, Swiss & German bands. We used to make good metal like this, but not anymore. Thankfully the European countries are now doing it or I'd have nothing to listen to.
Can you tell me another band that in the folk metal?
sorry my bad english
Lol, I don't remember the US making good folk metal or even the best metal in general. That's not something you get with money, you need to grow up in a certain amount of culture.
@@irokosalei5133 Back in the 90's and 80's the US was basically the hub for rock and metal. We lost our way after grunge and alternative rock became mainstream.
@@irokosalei5133 I agree with you if you mean American folk/pagan metal bands I also can't remember any. But in other metal genres like alternative, nu etc. americans have a lot of outstanding bands, I can name you heaps but we all know them and they really influenced the metal genre a lot in whole.
Greetings from Russia!🏴🤘
@@j1n2 Yes, I agree, and Russia has one of the very best bands: Louna. I attended one of their concerts here in the U.S.A. about 5 years ago. I had a pleasant conversation with the singer Lou (Lousine) after the concert. Louna has released several excellent CDs.
Завжди super. Поважаю цю групу багато років. Їхній стиль, самобутність, це неймовірно.
I haven't been this excited to find a band since Nightwish.
Salix Sepulcralis same
👍
This is Switzerland in a song. Forget about the stereotypical (though charming) yodelling, accordions, horns and cowbells for a minute and go back to the Swiss routes that to this day are still present. Stout independence, loyalty to your ancestral homeland and the longing to return to the Swiss alps. Funnily enough, the term 'nostalgia' was first coined by physicians in the 16th century when Swiss mercenaries became sick and depressed. It was concluded that years of campaigning abroad made them miss their mountaneous home and all the things that came with it - the meadows, snow on the peaks, decent cheese maybe. I'm also very drunk. Xx
Not Swiss myself but I know all too well 'the call of the mountains' (I'm part Austrian through the maternal lineage; part Ukrainian on that side too - don't ask) and whenever I get over there and visit the Alpine regions, I get that feeling that I am, well, home. There is nothing quite like gazing over the valleys on a clear day when all you can hear is the sound of the crickets in the long grass, the calls of the birds and the occasional cowbell - all I can say is that it enriches the soul and lifts the heart in ways that have to be experienced to be understood.
I'm swiss and i can absolutely agree, especially the last term ;-)
The Swiss are weird. No wonder they are neutral in everything lol
Lets just better say 90% of middle and north Europe.
I'm Swiss too, and I totally agree! Couldn't live abroad... ;)
This just never gets old ♡♡♡♡
This song gives me so many different feels. I'm Irish and Norwegian by blood, and my hometown is Denver. I haven't lived in Colorado for a long time, and almost everyday, I hear the call of the mountains. I want to go home.
Brian Massey - - Aurora, CO & from here, we're trapped between Buckley AFB & D.I.A. But we can hear & see "The Call Of The Mountains", gotta' love them Rocky Mountains! Maybe one day you can go to where your bloodline hails from Pally - - peace Bro.
@@LEO1WOLF Thanks brother :)
Loveland CO born and raised, and I've just discovered this band a few weeks ago and they're my most recent obsession. Great to see some CO representation here! I love to camp in our beautiful Rocky Mountain backyard, and I'll be sure to jam this band on my speaker as I take in the idyllic beauty and enjoy a strong beverage.

after a while back to folk metal is somewhat quite refreshing and nostalgic at the same time.
These guys are absolutely 1000% fantastic and i love them
