Eluveitie

I have to say i really dont like Eluveitie's music...there were periods i like it and found it great, but now i am pretty sure, i dont...therefore i think this band is awfully overrated comparing to many other folk metal bands, which are nearly as good or better, but not so well known as "godly" Eluveitie is...

Calling The Rain!
The Cauldron of Renascene!

Eluveitie OWNS, end of story

For those interested in, the third trailer for Everything Remains (As It Never Was), the new album from Eluveitie, can be viewed at this location (trailers 1 and 2 are still available [url=v]here[/url] and here, repectively).

Am I the only 1 who thinks the new song (Thousandfold) is the best song they've ever made?

I've only listened to it once, but it sounds pretty good indeed. And I enjoyed Chrigel's interaction with the camera. If he performs that enthusiastically live, he could make up for the loss of the twins.

I haven't heard enough yet to have an opinion about this band. But they seem kinda interesting, so I'm eager to hear more.

Yes

IMO it's not their best song but it's pretty good. I'm definitely interested in the rest of the album!

maybe it's because this song is fresh and new but atm I enjoy it more than any of the others (uis elveti, inis mona.. etc.)

Well to be fair I've only listened to it twice...i'll have to give it a few more listens.

Most probably yes. It's pretty mediocre, completely nothing new and sounds just like an Eluveitie song. This fact thon the other hand is positive as I know Eluveitie of catchy melodies or the like and 'Thousandfold' is no exception. I believe the forthcoming album won't be bad by any means but I'm not as sure will it be too good either. If 'Thousandfold' was one of the better songs on the album, I really don't believe there'll be anything very fresh on 'Everything Remains as it Never Was' though it's surely going to be great for the fans of Eluveitie metal.

I enjoy the ethnic side of theirs, the antique languages and the metal support they give it (although the metal side is not at all necessary) which means that hearing them sing generic English language gothenburg/death metal with just some hurdy-gurdy on the background is not a grand pleasure and is, to be honest, rather mediocre... but some certain songs of theirs such as "Dessumis Luge", "Siraxta", "Britcom" etc are wonderful... and yes...for me, better than "Thousandfold"...

Listening to it a few more times...I think it's nothing really special. It's not bad but it's definitely nothing new.

I still haven't lost the amazement I felt after the first listening

I like Thousandfold a little more than I first did but still find it to be nothing special.

Kingdom Come Undone on the other hand is just pure awesome!

Listening to the entire album on myspace atm. the intro is awesome

I found their new album, to be pretty enjoyable, even when it's almost identical to their previous works.

Yeah its nothing really new, but its very well done. I really enjoyed it!

Lugdunon is not an avarage eluveitie song btw

After a several listens i think this is Eluveitie's best work, the only problem is the great similarity with their previous albums. To me it improves in every aspect, it's like the Zelda: Twilight Princess of music.

In hellfest festival i think it was the only band's concert with Wall of death between the fans!!
we had greeat timee ! ....ELUVEITIE!

Yeah, their new album isn't quite as good as Slania, but it's pretty good. 'Quoth The Raven' is a fucking epic song!

Their music, imo, sounds a bit like Lunasa with Gothenburg Sound. I like their music but their new album (Everything Remains as it Never Was) just sounds too repetitive. Nonetheless, they're a great band. They're the one that got me into Folk Metal for a while.

Inis Mona and Slania's Song are my fave songs.

I wish I could like them more than I do.I enjoyed "Slania" and "Spirit" but by the time their last album came out I grew bored of their male vocalists awful awful grunts and growls so I stopped listening to them.

I like every single one of their albums but i hope their next album will have more of Annas singing and folk influenses. Not that I dislike the growling and heavier music in Everything Remains but I'd like to see a more experimental metal album with more folk, yet not as cheesy as other folk metal bands tend to get. From what Ive heard Eluveitie will do a metal album no to far from now and after that continue with Evocation II. Two albums Im really exited about!

Man, I got their Slania album and I like it, but for whatever reason, I can't really get into it. There just seems to be something missing... I want to check out some of their other albums to see if I can fully connect with this band...

Omnos is a catchy song. I also liked Thousandfold and Inis Mona.

I won't even bother about their new album then. The die hard fans might like it though.

New track/video released today.



I'm not entirely sold on it, but I do like the fast violin. Their recent material, going back to their previous couple of full lengths, has been lacking a bit to me. Granted, I'm not expecting another release as stellar as Spirit, but to me their quality has been declining a bit.

Still, I can at least hope this record will be a return to fine form.

Ok, I know absolutely nothing about this band. If I were to listen to ONE album by them which one would it be? Anyone? Anyone?
