👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
The thing I love about Eluveitie, is that they don't play metal, and add folk instruments. They play metal with folk instruments.
Also, no matter how many times I watch this video, the piper giving the stank face always gets me
The song is about the Welsh island of Anglesey (Ynys Môn in Welsh), famous for being of religious importance to the local Celts and home to druids in the pre-Roman era of Britain. When the Romans invaded they slaughtered the druids and cut down sacred groves on the island.
Love any metal that has a bit of folk mixed in 👌
Eluveitie is such an amazing band
If you look into them again, rebirth is a great one with such awesome and unexpected solo work.
Eluveitie sounds like music from another world. If you haven't heard anything from the 2 acoustic neofolk albums they did they are both really interesting, Evocation I and Evocation II, the atmosphere and mood on them is just phenomenal. Great for mornings and evenings, best in the deep forest at dusk.
Eluveitie is my favorite band. I know way too much about them and also the folk music aspects.
The gurdy’s full name is hurdy gurdy. The solo instrument is an Irish whistle. Looks to be in the key of A (maybe I can’t remember which was used off the top of my head). The higher D version is commonly known as a tin whistle. Eluveitie inspired me to learn whistles and I took lessons from their current whistle player, Matteo, during Covid lockdowns. The bagpipes definitely had a mouth piece. You can see him blowing into it a few times. After you “charge” the bag, you can play for a period of time without blowing more air into it because a check valve keeps it from escaping back out of the mouthpiece.
The tune featured in this song is called Tri Martolod (Three Sailors). It is a traditional Breton tune. Most of the folk tunes Eluveitie uses are Irish or Breton. Being a musician yourself, you should check out thesession(dot)org. It’s a huge repository of Celtic folk music transcriptions.
So happy to see you checking out Eluvietie! You picked a great song. I really hope you do several more because they have SO MANY good songs. If I remember correctly, in the song "Omnos" they use a dead language that's not spoken any more, telling a folk tale. Other good ones are A rose for Epona, Thousandfold, and Brittcom. Keep up the awesome vids brother! ❤
It's ell-vay-tee but you did better than I did 😁
I highly recommend Rebirth, Call of the Mountains, Slumber, Black Water Dawn, and A Rose For Epona 😎👍
Thanks for bringing more attention to Celtic Swiss folk metal 🤘😎🎸
If he does do Slumber I highly recommend watching Worship right afterwards as those two songs are part 1 and part 2 of an ancient Celtic prophecy.
Thanks, I pronounced it wrong for years😂
Eluveitie are the band that got me into folk metal. I was lucky enough to see them live a couple of years ago. Stoked to see you cover one of their tracks. I'd definitely be curious to see you try one of their acoustic ones like Dessumiis Luge or The Arcane Dominion.
Seen them perform this live back in 06 i think. in an underground venue with like 100 people... amazing
If you enjoy folk instruments in metal music you'd have an absolute blast with bands like Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Moonsorrow and SAOR! My home of Finland in particular has a whole host of folk metal bands 🤘🎻
I haven't listened to these guys in forever. My favorite song is Quoth the Raven, mostly for the crazy female scream about halfway through. Not sure if it was Anna Murphy or someone else but it gives me goosebumps every time.
One of my favorite songs of all time, but to me the verses are what make the song.
No way!! Love these guys. Seen them live. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen!
I think the bagpipes here are some kind of "uilleann pipes". Similar instrument to regular bagpipes, but without a mouthpiece.
Hey! Welcome to Folk Metal!
I'd say you picked a GREAT intro with Eluveitie (pronounced EL-VAY-TEE). They are a Swiss band who focuses on Celtic Themes. They will often do songs in "Gaulish" which is a dead Celtic language (see "Slania's Song). And I've seen a few comments about it, and I have to agree, but what I love about Eluveitie is that the melody is most always done with the folk instruments with the guitars as a backing. They use the following instruments interchangeably: Tin Whistle, Mandola, Hurdy Gurdy, Fiddle, Bag Pipes, Folk Drums, Celtic Harp and others. This is an older (But fan favourite!) song, so you should definitely check out something newer by them especially to see Fabienne! Her clean vocals add so much more depth! I'd recommend the song "Rebirth".
I love Eluveitie. Was the first actual metal band I've ever listened to, I legit like almost every song they made. I didn't listen to the last few albums though but I frequently listen to the older ones like Slania still.
Thank you for everything Geebz 😊
I saw these guys back in late 2012. Great show, incredible energy, they used all these instruments live. They were touring with Wintersun (another great band).
Welcome to my favourite band . Live this is incredible. It's their set closer, and the chorus is sung loudly by us fans. It is our song .
I love the hurdy gurdy so damn much.
This song is based ("based" is an understatement, the main melody is literally the same) on Alan Sullivan's 1971 version of Tri Martolod, a traditional Breton song.
Had the chance to see them live when touring for the Helvetios album. They played the whole thing front to back and then added this song and a few others as an encore. Fantastic perfomance from a talented bunch of musicians.
God, that must've been awesome. That's my favorite album from them, I'd kill to hear it front to back live.
hell yes, eluveitie is awesome.
Idk if you did this from my request, but thank you so much for doing this.
Please do more Eluveitie!
Yes, that's a hurdy gurdy.
The bagpipes were electric (air pumped in)
Chrigel was playing a tin whistle during that wind solo (he also plays mandola)
This band is so good dude
The metal parts including vocals give me strong In Flames vibes.
They have a big Gothenburg sound influence. 😉🤘
Well this was a pleasure to watch. I wasn’t sure how much time you had to check them out but I’m glad you did! Seems like a lot of people have already given you some background on them!
You actually picked the song that started my love of Eluveitie back in 2009. I’ve seen them live a handful of times over the years and every show is an amazing experience. Their newer stuff showcases female vocals mixed with Crigel’s guttural vocals which makes it all really pop!
If you’re looking for more to check out I’d recommend: Rebirth, Black Water Dawn, Epona, Exile of the Gods, Aidus (the video for Aidus is incredible), and of course their more traditional version of the Inis Mona ancient melody sung in reconstructed Ancient Gaulish “Ogmios”. Glad you enjoyed the suggestion!
In case you didn't know, the chorus melody is based on a very well known folk song from Normandy, Tri Martolod.
Celtic, Nordic and Germanic/ Slavic culture has shared origins. The Celts conquered as far as Iran, and later on in history Gauls became Germans. There is no seperation between Norse and Germanic paganism ultimately.
The only reason people think of Odin as a Norse god is because Scandinavians were the last to bend the knee to abrahamic religion.
The song is about inis mona, off the coast of Britain, this was the final druid stronghold that resisted the Roman occupation.
The passing of an ogham stick represent the transition of wisdom through generations as European Pagans reincarnated into their children.
Wisdom spread through memory, memes and genes.
'Bagpipes' without a mouthpiece are uilleann pipes (see Troy Donockley in Nightwish or Paddy Moloney from the wonderful Chieftans.
I don't think that's what's being played here though. I'm sure he's blowing into his but you don't need to blow continuously with bagpipes - once the 'bag' is full, you can play till it empties.
You have to hear that song live, it is a whole different level of intensity :D
If you like this, you should check out one of their more recent songs, Aidus.
Their integration of folk music and themes has really matured
I started really getting into the song at the (I think it's the bridge) bridge at 7:20. Fun tune! ❤
Eluveitie was such an eye opening experience for me. They have many great songs, some are even covers of traditional celtic songs such as Scarborough fair (their version is called different but its the same song essentially) among others
These guys are my ritual tunes
Imagine having an epic boss fight on God of War while listening to this. Pure excitment :D
I love your stuff...✌️
I'd like to see to tackle some Lou Barlow.. "Holding Back the Year" or "Apocalypse Fetish" I love that Barlow
Eluveitie stands out amongst folk metal. They really are the best at what they do. Highly recommend the Helvetios and Ategnatos albums.
Eluveitie is great! A great live band also.
Soeaking of bands who pull in cultural sounds/instruments, the band Bloodywood does this with Indian instruments/sounds and the band Myrath does the same with Tunisian. Both bands are great.
Their song "Omnos" is my favorite from them, it's much more vocals oriented. You may just want to watch that on your own time as it's kind of simple lol
more metal bands need to incorporate the hurdy gurdy. really we just need more hurdy gurdy in all genres, such an awesome instrument
Eluveitie is probably my favourite folk metal band of all time, I'd highly recommend checking out Quoth The Raven, Helvetios (the song, or the entire album, both are amazing), Exile of the Gods and Ategnatos.
I would highly recommend you keep exploring folk metal bands, there's plenty to go around. Salduie, Korpiklaani, Elvenking and so many more.
i always thought the bagpipe was just like a regular one but connected to an air compressor like those from E-Bellow...
Thanks for the intro to this band. I can only listen to harsh vocals for so long but, I found the melody of the traditional instruments evened it out, and I was struck by how intrigued I was by his voice. The vocals and the "usual" metal and traditional instruments were so well entwined. Plus, you were spot-on about the change-up. Still here, Geebz, as always. I love listening to your take and I get so much more out of the twice baked sessions. Mahalo.
They do have songs were the clean split half and half with gutturals and a few were here's only cleans, like Call of the Mountains, Artio and Exile of the Gods. Try the link I left for Rebirth on my comment.
@@luisnunes3863 Thank you. I will check out the songs you mentioned.
@@belladonna_scarlet I thank you also. They're one of my favorite bands, to the point that I love to point people in their direction.
@@luisnunes3863 ❤❤❤
@@luisnunes3863 I have my Eluveitie playlist setup with your suggestions and other songs people have suggested in these comments. My husband is also subbed to Geebz and he liked them too. He will be checking them out as well.
Eluveitie has so many "colours", worth listen to. And 3 of them formed Cellar Darling. Maybe you remember Drown? You shoul listen to their song Dance too. ;)... edit: Gwydion by Faun and Eluveitie should be interesting too.
Havoc from the same album is an absolute korker with the juxtaposition of folk and metal instruments and melodies .
Dear geebz,
Great reaction! I've seen you already heard to some stuff from muse, but there are still some great songs like butterflies and hurricanes out there, and i want to ask, if you could listen to them in one of your next Videos. I think a lot of your subcribers want to see a video like that...
Have a great day!
Some relevant suggestions: In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Tanzwut.
Eluveitie is a super fun band, if you were interested in another track by them I would highly recommend slanias song off the same album.
Geebz, the name of the band reads as Helvetie (the ancient name of Switzerland), Eluveitie is a roman era spelling found in an inscription. So the cultural roots of this music are Celtic. No shade, we don't know 'till we know.
Try something more recent from them, the new(ish) Aidus or the usual reaction vid, Rebirth. Those will really let you have fun with their transitions and allow you to settle in for a bit in the Celtic sounds before going on to metal again. ruclips.net/video/7nFc-oS7dv0/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/d-pSq4MJmy8/видео.html
I don't know if you take recommendations from RUclips comments but Amorphis deserves a listen. Amongst the Stars or Bee could be good ones to check first!
And if you feel adventurous, then band called Summoning is phenomenal and as unique and groundbreaking as they get.
I love fusion music!
there's a siberian techno-folk band that i like a lot called Kiberspassk. specially the song "Derevna"!
as my russian is none existant, i hope the lyrics are not about infants dismemberment... 😂
you paused at the best part 😢😂😂
Pls do a vid on the new Skynd song
Inis(inish
Mona. The island of Peat
Why do per Nillson sound like a math answer
Long time follower and I absolutely love your reactions.
Would it be possible sometimes in the future to interest you in some modern prog metal songs, if you'll ever circle back to this genre?
Northlane - Quantum Flux - way ahead of its time, pretty well known song.
Modern Day Babylon - Lost in Dreams - instrumental song, a really unknown czech band, but will definitely blow your mind.
:)
I feel they might want to tune the bass down a tad more lol... jk of course.
"cultural use of instruments with metal composition"? Hmmmmmm -----------> Orphaned Land !
Bouzouki, flutes, darbuka, belly dancers! What else can you ask for?
I really like Inis Mona in particular, not a big fan of Eluviete otherwise...
"I'm still here!"
Howdy!!
