Born in the rural mysticism of the Swiss alps and since a very early point deeply rooted within Celtic mythology, Gaulish history and proto-European culture, Eluveitie have long become Folk Metal's trailblazers, spin doctors and rightful masters of their craft. All the more because they never limited themselves to simple forays through rune-decorated cliches or foolish drinking songs. Theirs has been an approach of respect, historic accuracy, depth and the most thrilling, catchy, primordial mélange of Melodic Death Metal and Pagan Folk the world could have ever imagined.
