I really wish they still made songs like this...

The melody is from "jesaig", by breton musician Gilles Le Bigot, composed in the late 70's. He played among other things in a band called Barzaz. You can find Jezaig/Jesaig on his other band Galorn self title album from 1978

here because Spotify had the re-release version only. This one is so much better.

This song has great melody.

I want this song in my funeral, please.

This sonds so nordic, like a chill comes in me and I am really in one of those cold zones... but Im in Romania :(

The best folk metal band ever made in history!!! ♥♥

one of best instrumental music...i heard

this would be shame that someone dislike....there is no word to describe this song....

Wow, It’s awesome. Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

I didn't know these artists. Thank you very much, they are awesome.

Sniff sniff....It..Its so beautiful!!! Amazing band.

My lady told me when she hears this it is nothing but my image haunting her with such beauty

this one is outstanding !!! what a piece ...

So pure. So peaceful ❤

fight in a boss battle with this song playing (volume. turned all the way up) your welcome ;)

There are re-releasing Spirit and re-recording Ven, releasing it as "The Early Years." It will be out August 17th, check their website for more details.

just cant get enough of this song!!!!!!!!!!!!

love those deep chanting voices

Absolutley beautiful.

Oh my god , wonderful .

From 2022

The truth is never "out-dated". It is always the truth; no matter how much you may wish it to be otherwise.

because of this picture, everybody just dont care anymore about the song.

This picture MUST be my new wallpaper...

Best Vikings outfit i have seen so far...its awesome.

god damn, this is amazing, GODLIKE

There were some helmets with horns on them but they were never used in battle, only for ceremonial purposes

The Celts is the collective term for the people inhabiting (what we now know as) Ireland, Great-Britain, the northern edge of Spain, France, bits of Belgium; basically western and cental-eastern Europe, from about 800 BC till the fall of the Roman Empire in 476. The Romans called the Celts living in present-day France "Galli", and we derived the word "Gauls" from that. In other words, all Gauls were Celts, but only the (continentally) westernmost Celts were Gauls. Hope that clears it up a bit!

That's actually a Norn from Guild Wars Eye of the North, good sir.

You are not alone, brother.

I love how ppl here are arguing about artwork for a fantasy game (Guild Wars 2), like it is a historical picture of sorts. There's even nothing in the description. And those guys on the picture aren't even humans....jeeez. Awesoem song.

Sad truth is that you read and write comments instead of listening to this amazing song...

i wish some day i will be lucking like this kickass above

beard of epicness! also, discovered eluveitie not so long ago.... OMFG, FOLK METAL

Yeah. There's this movie called "Vercingetorix" that I'm sure the members of Eluveitie would hate just as much as I do. It is about the Gaulish rebel that defied Caesar. The "Gauls" in that movie have horned helmets. For one, they were Celts, not Vikings. And Vikings didn't even wear them! I actually caught one of the "warriors" wearing jeans. Please check it out if you don't believe me.

the melody at the start is taken from Mi Na Samhna by Lunasa 1998

I saw the armor and thought... FUS RO DAH!! Yeah i went there...lol

I like this song!

you are quite right is that most of the time they are peddled prejudice and strengthens through the TV

When I become a smith, then I'm going to make that armor!

stupendooo Eluveitie sono dei grandi =)

This is what the Norse Gods listen to when going to a battle.

The best.

Cool picture.

just epic

soweit hab ich nicht gedacht :D

yes

it's awesome :D

great tune. Based on traditional Breton jam. The first primal scream and jump into the distorted guitars reminds me of the Gods awakening from a slumber and rising to take their place in a new world.

greatt song

GOd damn this is nice

Nice picture...

In true Viking usually wore helmets with nose guard, and usually with protection around the eyes. But it is true that the Vikings animal furs, like a wolf, as capes used

relax both and enjoy the music :) NOW

it's what they'll release on the 17th of august :-)

perfect! sings to my nordic soul!.... *')

Their helmets still looked awesome though. And they were as ruthless as demons. One Viking was known as the Child-lover because he refused to throw captured babies up in the air and catch them on the point of his sword.

AWSOME IMAEG

yup ,i also

GOD-LIKE!

i wish some day i will look like this viking kickass above

love the irish whistle

Epic Picture^^ look like a jarl from the book "The Trolls"

I'm a WOW Player and I Raid Cities while listening to this song!!

This cant be true .. So F amazing hard,heavy,doom,folkish!

The Celts and Vikings in unison. Massive roar! Naked blue Picts and Celts in unison with the Vikings and Gaulish Hoarde!

Ya I agree with that man.

I am a proud to be of viking blood. I am a hulk of a man, I do believe I would make my ancestors proud!

I really hope "Helvetios" contains songs as atmospheric and experimental as this...

TOTALLY CORRECT!

The armor makes me think of... FUS RO DAH! yeah I went there... lol

esses sons me remétem á épocas épicas de batalhas ferrênhas ´,lembro-me de meus ancestrais,os quais só me recórdo em meus sonhos e pesadelos.campos de matança e flagélo mortal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, this picture was drawn far before Skyrim was released.

nice

Type this in google "celtic horned helmet" and click British Museum - Horned Helmet. But you're right this is a Guild Wars concept art (I reckon)

LOVE YOU PATRICK KISTLER... I CAN FEEL THE FEELINGS WITH YOU... :)

@Plasticksprengstoff :D Yes, let us die with a defiant roar on our lips and with enemies at our feet!

some also never wore the horns simply because others would know they were stronger and in course they would get less challengers in the battlefield.

Im in love with this band already!!! But i only just started listening to them today, could someone tell me how i would pronounce the band name XD

the warrior is perfect for make a good drawing.

Well, I came here for only 1 and 1 unique thing, to listen to this music, so, let me enjoy it without historical comments or so :)

Mds que música linda da porra é essa?

FUCK YEAH GUILDWARS CONCEPT ART!!!!! AND AWESOME MUSIC!

2021 anyone?

@cilibinarii The screams and guitars make it

moi leurs oncle qui ne peut ...avoir d'enfant...Merci petit Frère

jizzaig

I love the song so much that the music come through my mouth and I vomit twice.

Actually viking warriors never wore helmets with horns. This is a ceremional thing. but it's so cool :D

Well Britonic and Gaelic are connected languages due to the Celtic roots they have nowdays Britonic are spoken in Wales

@llvllrmorgan I believe it's called the Shire, not squire.

I always imagine a group of Caledonians praying to Teutatis when I listen to this

nor did they ever use duel bladed axes (or even in the size on 2 handers). They folk lore inspires and creates the beauty that is know today as a Viking.

Raaagggghhh. Yeah.

what's the name of the instrument that's first played in the start of the song? A low whistle?

@WinterMisanthropy Valkyries are the angels who takes the brave fallen warriors away to thors hall wallhalla where they can celebrate 4ever and Vrykuls are based on the icegiants form jotunheim

I like how everyone here is a historian specialized to ancient Northern-Europe, having an argument incited by the perfunctory historical features of an obviously stylized artwork, the reasoning dimmed by your "metalhead-childish" aversion to christianity repels the objectivity which is of utmost importance if you intend to be validly knowledgeable in the events of the past.

but eluveitie is ELUVEITIE!!!....And they have a badass bagpipe to keep the spirit goin on! :D

me gusto
