Eluveitie - Part Ways With Patrick Kistler


Patrick "Päde" Kistler is no longer in Eluveitie. The band just shared the news with "a heavy heart" and while they make no further comment at this time, they wish him all the best for his future endeavours. He was in Eluveitie for six years and four albums playing the bagpipes, whistles, and also acoustic guitars. Meanwhile, multi-instrumentalist Matteo Sisti (Krampus) has stepped in to replace him temporarily on their European tour.

Eluveitie explains: "At the same time, we can announce that we have already found a very talented musician to step in and keep the show going: multi-instrumentalist Matteo Sisti, from our friends and colleagues at Krampus, has not hesitated to jump in and learn our full set in just a few days. A big THANK YOU goes out to Matteo and Krampus at this point - in the midst of the European leg of our Origins World Tour, their support is much appreciated. Matteo is joining us as a temporary session musician for the remainder of this tour. We can't wait to rock the stages together for you!"

First Meri and now Päde. Eluveitie's best musicians are gone. The band will not be the same.

Man, it seems like every time I turn around somebody else has left this band.

Seriously, their pipes/flute people have been like a revolving door. Although that seems to be a fairly normal thing with folk metal since many time the 'non-typical musicians' arent metalheads to begin with, probably just get tired of it after a while is my guess.

I also just realized that I have been pronouncing his name wrong in my head for the last 7-8 years.

Look, Matteo is just a fantastic musician and replacing with super talented Patrick won't affect the Eluveitie's overall synchronization. Yeah, it feels bad Patrick has left the camp after good 6 years but it won't left the void of his presence because another talented guy stepped up.

It'll be great to see Matteo playing with Eluveitie.
