Forming in 2002, Eluveitie have refined themselves over the years into a fine art that incorporates traditional death metal elements and mixes them seamlessly with European folk instruments such as flutes, hurdy-gurdies, violin, bagpipes, fiddles, mandolin and pipes. And with most of the lyrics sung in an ancient Gaulish tongue, the overall effect is mesmerizing, sweeping and grandiose.

"the band ... has the place in raptures" - METAL HAMMER

Performing with 8 musicians onstage is an amazing task in itself, but when a band puts out as much energy to a crowd, it makes for some genuinely fun folk metal.
