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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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 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!
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)
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.
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).
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.
This woman is SOOO emotionally expressive. I bet she could do reaction videos about just anything, and people would still watch it just to see her reactions!
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
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
If you ever get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend seeing their live show.... One of the best live performing bands I've seen, nothing but captivating energy...
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.
have seen them live 3 times in my home town at a metal festival that we have here every year , and they amaze me every time! they are just absolutely killing it every singel time, they are so good live
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).
Wow another great video. I loved this band for years. I am sure you have heard 'A Rose for Epona' with former singer Anna Murphy. I would love your analysis of this. Just a suggestion. I love this folk metal with these classic Celtic instruments and Gaelic language mixed with modern English and contemporary gear. The energy and raw talent of this band is astounding.
Last concert I saw live before COVID was Eluveitie. The band was hanging out, signing merch... while the opening acts were playing. So kind, I have 2 CD's signed for my kids. Part of the goal from what I understand is to preserve Celtic culture, including Basque, Galuish and the other histories from the mountain regions around Switzerland and France where the Celtic culture is something apart from much of the rest of European culture. Crigel's tattoos are all related to this - pretty cool.
Eluveitie just completed their European tour. The US tour started this week in Baltimore. Again, a fantastic show. Unfortunately, Criegel was not able to make this tour but they have two vocalists filling in his parts. If anyone is curious, search up Eluveitie Baltimore 2023 and there is a nice link to the end performance. Cheers!
Eluveitie is great! I'd love to see your take on Fabienne performing Artio at the Out In The Green Festival 2022. It's her solo part of the concerts Eluveitie has been performing the last few years, and she's amazing!
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. ❤️❤️❤️
:D i love that you are looking into these gems of musical talents. Eluveitie has been a farvorite of mine since i was in my teen years :D just like Nightwish, yet Nightwish lies deep within the root of my heart!,
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).
Welcome to the wonderful world of folk metal! Eluveitie is Swiss and their name refers back to the Helvetii (latinized form of the name), the tribe that gave the country one of its names. Most of the lyrics are inspired by celtic history or mythology. In particular trying to show the Roman conquest of Gaul from the Gaulish (Celtic) perspective. They also have several songs in a form of reconstructed Gaulish, or continental Celtic.
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!

Love the reaction! One of my favourite bands! Can highly recommend Wintersun - Sons of Winter & Stars, have seen it in the comments here and on a few other videos too! You're in for a treat!
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.
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.
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 !
You should also check Eluveitie's King,it has some of the elements you liked in this song and it also shows the old band lineup. And as others are still commenting, Wintersun's Time or Sons of Winter and Stars (also folk metal but different twist)
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
Eliz : 'That's some good breath control!!' Eluv : don't compliment the demons ... we're still gonna come get you. Fabienne does such wonderful fast 'lilts' in that early clean vocal.... she keeps up that 32nd-beat speed alive through the slow passage. Having played a bit with some of the best Irish musicians ever (two members of the Bothy Band), I can tell you that the feel of metal is just barely under the surface, even tho it's just acoustic music... the poly-gallup beat of the bodhran is the predecessor of NWOBHM/Iron Maiden 'trademark' sound. GREAT reaction !!! You have officially fell into the FolkMetal rabbit hole. We have saved a seat for you and Kirk. But don't bother sitting down... this is stand-up-and-mosh music!! Now, for your take-home assignment : Your mission Elizabeth, should you choose/decide to accept it Go out and get an MXR M222 Talk Box, isolate some of the growl vocals from Chrigel (here), and use them as the instrument input into the M222 and use YOUR mouth as the resonating chamber. It will be The Ultimate Growl/Opera mashup, and you modulate your top-o-pharynx/head-voice formants over a growl WITHOUT putting any stress on your vocal apparatus whatsoever. .... no, I haven't tried this out myself, nor do I have an M222, otherwise I'd send it to you gratis. It seems like you're really straining-at-the-bit to get into growls, and this would definitely be a safe/sane way to add your unique voice-print on the world of metal... and I don't think anyone else has done this yet. As always, should you or any of your Folds be polyp'd or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This suggestion will self-destruct in five seconds.
If you want to try something awesome with folk Metal elements, try Wilderun - Hope and Shadow (Quarantine Session). There are lots of Instruments I don't know what they are called. Also the singer is awesome. Also Wilderun - o resolution is very good. Someone said it is like Devin Townsend and Opeth had a child together. The band is from Boston and totally underrated. Greetings from Germany
If you look up Welsh mythology, you'll find Chrigel seems to reference poems related to Taliesin (I have been such and such in nature). Also applies somewhat to the shape-shifting Gwydion (they did a song with Faun). Antumnos is the Celtic otherworld.
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.
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.
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.
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!
For more great folk metal, check out Korpiklaani. They are Finnish folk metal and a different take. Either "Sanaton maa" or "Tuuleton" are great songs!
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 ruclips.net/video/QfP2qYlNBdw/видео.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 ruclips.net/video/Mvs39ZeQjq4/видео.html . There is also a video where she explains how she got to join the band ruclips.net/video/X6zmZraewQY/видео.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: ruclips.net/video/y14pAyoAiIM/видео.html . Fabienne and Guitarist Jonas Wolf also have a side project called "Illumishade" thats worth checking out.
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!
I'm so glad you're not closed minded. I get a lot crap for listening to metal. It's nice to hear someone say something good about. I would recommend breaking benjamin's song, Cold Red River.
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.
Also please try "let this river flow" by Soilwork. Bjorn "Speed" Strid has such a dynamic voice, and Floor Jansen makes an appearance in the Live in Helsinki version...though I do love the official music video too.
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!
Nice to see some metal! :) You should also do Eluveitie - Epona -(live Rockpalast 2019), Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars (live rehersals) and Kamelot - Elizabeth I, II, III (live One Cold Winter's night).
"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.
10:18 This is a hurdy gurdy. Elizabeth, I love your analisies and reaction videos. Indeed, I like so much the respectull way you handle with these diferent music styles, in especial metal music. Pls, could you react to Fearless by Amaranthe? Cheers from Brazil! Tks
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.
I love Eluvetie with both female singers. I would love you to react to both of them as they have folk voices but both very different! Check out A Rose for Epona with the old singer and either Epona or LVGVS with the new singer.
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.
Eluveitie is alright but I followed their former vocalist, Anna Murphy, to Cellar Darling which is one of my favorite bands ever. Highly recommend Under the Oak Tree, Hang, The Spell, or Love Pt 2 by them. Also note about Anna Murphy, she also plays the hurdy gurdy and the flute for Cellar Darling. She's so amazing. Favorite female vocalist period
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.
Since you said you started to appreciate growls, I highly recommend my favorite Epica live video: EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith Cheers! :)
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
please react to IRON MAIDEN Alexander the great, you will not find a live version because they never played it live, because its difficult to put on stage they said (the only song never played live, i guess they tried it just one time) you will love the enunciation of Bruce!
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 RUclips before being recruited when their former player left

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.
I can agree with that assessment. What's fun is different cultures' folk metal, like Mongolian folk, in the Hu or Tengris, and bhangra with Bloodywood
Eluveitie is my hands-down, favorite band. They are so amazing live.
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.
Obviously, the video hasn't premiered yet, but I am so freaking excited for this one. I love Eluveitie, and can't wait for you to check this out!
Hi Tank! I'm not surprised your here.
Yo. Tank is here?
11:30 I'm hearing you... "You get a solo! You get a solo! You get a solo!"

If you are going to watch more Eluveitie, please check out "Epona" "Call of the Mountains" or "Lvgvs" :D
Epona or Call of the Mountains for sure
3rd for "A Rose for Eponia" and "The Call of the Mountains"
Yes!!
Don't forget inis mona and omnos
And yet another call for at least A rose for Epona.
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.
up
I always loved her tone in the song Omnos and it's one of my go tos for them when I wanna show off the instrumentals and cleans of the band
It's so great!
Fabi is incredible, and if you haven’t...check out her band ILLUMISHADE
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!
So - odd instruments. Hurdy Gurdy, Low whistle, high whistle, long-neck mandolin, Irish harp and bodhran (the hand held drum towards the end)
tin whistle!
Yes! Hurdy gurdy :3
Baritone mandolin I think. Like an octave lower than a traditional one.
I believe that hand held drum is called a Bodran.
The bodhran is also there in the early "light" portion, kind of far & fuzzy.
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 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.
Epona got the crowd goin crazy the one time I saw them live! such a great song

@@girlwiththewolves yooooo
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)
Oh yes 'Slania's Song' is my absolute favorite folk metal song period. This is a very long song that is so good you don't want it to end.
Recommendation of Wintersun - Sons of Winter and Stars.
Yes please
Absolutely!
yea! and make sure its the live rehearsel version!
Classic but i'd be curious to see Elizabeth's take on it :-)
A Great one!
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.
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).
please react to KISS I STILL LOVE YOU UNPLUGGED. Love your channel
Mainly because neither Nightwish nor Heilung are folk metal, yes
Ategnatos, YESSS!!!
Inis Mona, Calling the Rain, Slanias Song (okay, Slania is my favourite Eluveitie album 😉 ) or Tegernakô would be awesome, too.
@@mfu3415 The hay-mosh video of Tegernakô at summerbreeze, for sure!
Otherwise, Quoth the Raven is hard to beat.
Where has this band been all my life?? Thank you for introducing me
Try ARKONA for slavic folk metal, they are crazy.
Also GRAI
I love Arkona!!!
You should give Beast In Black - "Blind and Frozen" a listen. The vocalist, Yannis Papadopoulos has an excellent voice.
Yes! And his cover of Ghost Love Score is insane, would love to see her cover that too!
I would add Ghost in the Rain, because the song is emotional and he expresses those emotions and the pain through his voice perfectly!
Yep!
Yannis is incredible..
Yes definitely, really hope Elizabeth has a chance to check out Beast in Black.
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.
This woman is SOOO emotionally expressive. I bet she could do reaction videos about just anything, and people would still watch it just to see her reactions!
I like it, but you can try some older song with Anna Murphy (last singer) or her band Cellar Darling ;)
Yes! Cellar Darling! :-)
I love Cellar Darling. Good suggestion.
Oh wow definitely Cellar Darling 😲. Love it
Yup...
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
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
Would love for her to react to Arch Enemy and go into blind. The eagle flies alone or We will Rise or both since they are different singers.
Yeah Arch Enemy would be great. Like you said, one for both their female leads. Tokyo 2008 We Will Rise / Nemesis versions with Angela are fantastic.
We will rise!
If you ever get the chance, I HIGHLY recommend seeing their live show.... One of the best live performing bands I've seen, nothing but captivating energy...
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.
The hurdy-gurdy player has her own channel btw. ruclips.net/user/helvetion
Rose for Epona is a prayer, begging the Godess's help and protection of her lover who is off to war.
have seen them live 3 times in my home town at a metal festival that we have here every year , and they amaze me every time! they are just absolutely killing it every singel time, they are so good live
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).
Ah my homeboys. Yes, it's a great show and song.
Yes! Definitely this!
I LOVE that concert. It's so obvious when you watch it that Skálmöld are enjoying that gig so, so, so much.
Great band but the vocals aren't the main point imo
@@FinneousPJ1 the vocals aren't the best but it could be fun to see her react to it, and this concert is one of the best
Wow another great video. I loved this band for years. I am sure you have heard 'A Rose for Epona' with former singer Anna Murphy. I would love your analysis of this. Just a suggestion. I love this folk metal with these classic Celtic instruments and Gaelic language mixed with modern English and contemporary gear. The energy and raw talent of this band is astounding.
OMG! I love Eluveitie! It will be reeeally interesting. Thank you, Liza!
probably one of the most amazing intros I've ever heard in this song
After this, please do:
Illumishade - Rise;
Fabienne Erni's side project,
that really shows of more of her range.
Illumishade - Rise (acoustic) could be even better to hear her vocals
Double reaction discussing the differences, would then be best.
Last concert I saw live before COVID was Eluveitie. The band was hanging out, signing merch... while the opening acts were playing. So kind, I have 2 CD's signed for my kids. Part of the goal from what I understand is to preserve Celtic culture, including Basque, Galuish and the other histories from the mountain regions around Switzerland and France where the Celtic culture is something apart from much of the rest of European culture. Crigel's tattoos are all related to this - pretty cool.
Eluveitie just completed their European tour. The US tour started this week in Baltimore. Again, a fantastic show. Unfortunately, Criegel was not able to make this tour but they have two vocalists filling in his parts. If anyone is curious, search up Eluveitie Baltimore 2023 and there is a nice link to the end performance. Cheers!
Yeeeeee 🔥🔥🔥
Will this take away the 'a thumb, a thumb, a thumb' earworm? Gonna find out! Love the mustard yellow on you 💛
Eluveitie is great! I'd love to see your take on Fabienne performing Artio at the Out In The Green Festival 2022. It's her solo part of the concerts Eluveitie has been performing the last few years, and she's amazing!
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.
❤️❤️❤️
Why haven’t I seen any one requesting Scardust? Noa is amazing!!
Could you please react to Within Temptations 'Mother Earth'? I guess you would really like it, with it's playful sound :)
One of my all time favourite Within Temptation songs, would love to see a reaction to that.
:D i love that you are looking into these gems of musical talents. Eluveitie has been a farvorite of mine since i was in my teen years :D just like Nightwish, yet Nightwish lies deep within the root of my heart!,
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).
Yess, "the bee" is true amazing
Nah something from skyforger or under the red cloud. The bee is a decent song but the past albums are way more interesting + hairdryer mic as a bonus
Any Amorphis song would be great
I just realised I'm old and boring, I still think their best album is elegy :"-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of folk metal!
Eluveitie is Swiss and their name refers back to the Helvetii (latinized form of the name), the tribe that gave the country one of its names.
Most of the lyrics are inspired by celtic history or mythology. In particular trying to show the Roman conquest of Gaul from the Gaulish (Celtic) perspective. They also have several songs in a form of reconstructed Gaulish, or continental Celtic.
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.
I love their covers of Don’t Stop Believing and Take on Me.
@@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!
Yes, love Brothers In Arms!
So happy to see
Amazing song, even so, I still prefer The Call of the Mountains...
OOOOOOOOooooooo
I prefer the old Eluveitie with Ivo, Merlin and Anna :)
I prefer the new Eluveitie 😎
But I love the old line up too with Anna and the others.
Inis mona, luxtos etc for me.. but then I'm a fintroll, ensiferum, korpiklaani kinda folk guy
About the rebirth theme, that’s a huge story underneath! It’s better, if you want to know more, that you read some of Chrigel’s interviews about it

Arkona is another amazing folk metal bands with diverse instrumentation. Solid band to check out.
Please consider AMORPHIS: The Bee ! I think you are ready now.
Anything Amorphis with Anneke.
Love the reaction! One of my favourite bands! Can highly recommend Wintersun - Sons of Winter & Stars, have seen it in the comments here and on a few other videos too! You're in for a treat!
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 concur. Love Volbeat. Saw them open for Metallica a few years back.
The Devil's Bleeding Crown!!
Other than Amon Amarth, this is my favorite band. They mess with your head. Epic, thank you!
I "feel Avantasia - The Tower" would be interesting.
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.
never expected to see eluveitie here, love it
Beth Hart - Leave The Light On (Live At The Royal Albert Hall)
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 !
When Helvetios first came out, I cried the first time I heard the title song.
Oh no, Miss Elizabeth isnt turning metalhead at ALL lol
You should also check Eluveitie's King,it has some of the elements you liked in this song and it also shows the old band lineup. And as others are still commenting, Wintersun's Time or Sons of Winter and Stars (also folk metal but different twist)
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
Didn't read, saw Patty Gurdy, assumed you must mean this: ruclips.net/video/1AaNj7W4AKo/видео.html
Eliz : 'That's some good breath control!!'
Eluv : don't compliment the demons ... we're still gonna come get you.
Fabienne does such wonderful fast 'lilts' in that early clean vocal.... she keeps up that 32nd-beat speed alive through the slow passage.
Having played a bit with some of the best Irish musicians ever (two members of the Bothy Band), I can tell you that the feel of metal is just barely under the surface, even tho it's just acoustic music... the poly-gallup beat of the bodhran is the predecessor of NWOBHM/Iron Maiden 'trademark' sound.
GREAT reaction !!!
You have officially fell into the FolkMetal rabbit hole. We have saved a seat for you and Kirk.
But don't bother sitting down... this is stand-up-and-mosh music!!
Now, for your take-home assignment :
Your mission Elizabeth, should you choose/decide to accept it
Go out and get an MXR M222 Talk Box, isolate some of the growl vocals from Chrigel (here), and use them as the instrument input into the M222 and use YOUR mouth as the resonating chamber. It will be The Ultimate Growl/Opera mashup, and you modulate your top-o-pharynx/head-voice formants over a growl WITHOUT putting any stress on your vocal apparatus whatsoever.
.... no, I haven't tried this out myself, nor do I have an M222, otherwise I'd send it to you gratis.
It seems like you're really straining-at-the-bit to get into growls, and this would definitely be a safe/sane way to add your unique voice-print on the world of metal... and I don't think anyone else has done this yet.
As always, should you or any of your Folds be polyp'd or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
This suggestion will self-destruct in five seconds.
You should react to "Draconian- The last hour of ancient sunlight"
Jacobbson is the best growl voice in Europe imho. Would be cool to have another crossover episode with Kardavox
If you want to try something awesome with folk Metal elements, try Wilderun - Hope and Shadow (Quarantine Session). There are lots of Instruments I don't know what they are called. Also the singer is awesome.
Also Wilderun - o resolution is very good. Someone said it is like Devin Townsend and Opeth had a child together.
The band is from Boston and totally underrated.
Greetings from Germany
YOU HAVE to react to Slania’s Song. With a previous female singer, and with Fabiane (the current singer) Ategnatos and Epona are just phenomenal
If you look up Welsh mythology, you'll find Chrigel seems to reference poems related to Taliesin (I have been such and such in nature). Also applies somewhat to the shape-shifting Gwydion (they did a song with Faun). Antumnos is the Celtic otherworld.
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.
You should listen to more Halestorm! I suggest any of the songs they do in "The live room" It's live-ish in a studio. Lzzys voice is incredible live.
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.
The first metal single. Evocation II: Pantheon already had the new line up
yaaaas, my fave band!!!!!!!!
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.
"Instrumental Interlude" is the classiest name I've heard someone to give to a "solo" :)
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!
For more great folk metal, check out Korpiklaani. They are Finnish folk metal and a different take. Either "Sanaton maa" or "Tuuleton" are great songs!
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 ruclips.net/video/QfP2qYlNBdw/видео.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 ruclips.net/video/Mvs39ZeQjq4/видео.html . There is also a video where she explains how she got to join the band ruclips.net/video/X6zmZraewQY/видео.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: ruclips.net/video/y14pAyoAiIM/видео.html .
Fabienne and Guitarist Jonas Wolf also have a side project called "Illumishade" thats worth checking out.
As a tin whistle player myself, mad props to the guy in the hoody. That's some serious skills right there.
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!
I'm so glad you're not closed minded. I get a lot crap for listening to metal. It's nice to hear someone say something good about. I would recommend breaking benjamin's song, Cold Red River.
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.
Also recommend Khemmis, they’ve got a great mix of power meta of all things thrown into it and then Candlemass for the operatic vocals
Also please try "let this river flow" by Soilwork. Bjorn "Speed" Strid has such a dynamic voice, and Floor Jansen makes an appearance in the Live in Helsinki version...though I do love the official music video too.
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!
I think it's time to shock (positively) yourself with Lady Baby song... It's really awesome and...different!
Elizabeth, you must be the only person I know who can listen to metal and burst out in smiling laughter from the pure joy of what you are hearing.
Nice to see some metal! :)
You should also do Eluveitie - Epona -(live Rockpalast 2019), Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars (live rehersals) and Kamelot - Elizabeth I, II, III (live One Cold Winter's night).
"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.
10:18 This is a hurdy gurdy.
Elizabeth, I love your analisies and reaction videos. Indeed, I like so much the respectull way you handle with these diferent music styles, in especial metal music. Pls, could you react to Fearless by Amaranthe? Cheers from Brazil! Tks
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.
Quoth the Raven and (Do)Minion are my favs from that album
I love Eluvetie with both female singers. I would love you to react to both of them as they have folk voices but both very different! Check out A Rose for Epona with the old singer and either Epona or LVGVS with the new singer.
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.
Eluveitie is alright but I followed their former vocalist, Anna Murphy, to Cellar Darling which is one of my favorite bands ever. Highly recommend Under the Oak Tree, Hang, The Spell, or Love Pt 2 by them. Also note about Anna Murphy, she also plays the hurdy gurdy and the flute for Cellar Darling. She's so amazing. Favorite female vocalist period
GOTTA ASK! Who wouldn't want to see how she'd honestly react to Eskimo Callboy "HYPA HYPA"? That might be epic!
YES!
@@Mortarius Their new clean singer has an amazing voice!
Patty Gurdy and Faun both use the Hurdy Gurdy for solid examples
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.
Yes! Definitely her ghost in the fog, or Bathory Aria!
Since you said you started to appreciate growls, I highly recommend my favorite Epica live video: EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith
Cheers! :)
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
For sure check out their song King. It's among their best.
please react to IRON MAIDEN Alexander the great, you will not find a live version because they never played it live, because its difficult to put on stage they said (the only song never played live, i guess they tried it just one time)
you will love the enunciation of Bruce!
Please do Demolisher by Slaughter to Prevail
The voice from Hell, also called Russia !
@@Maedrya More like portal to hell. When he screams, demons and the devil himself comes flying out.
PLEASE check out Epona live... it has yodelling 😁😁😁😁
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 RUclips before being recruited when their former player left
