About 10 years ago my friend showed me a song by this band and I absolutely loved it. It's called Inis Mona, I just went and watched the music video of it, I completely forgot that it has bagpipes in it!

You need to check out their earlier stuff, King, innis Mona, call of the mountain, and rose for epona. ,with the original line up

Original lead singer and Hurdy-gurdy player was Anna Murphy. She formed a new band Cellar Darling. Check out the track Black Moon where she plays a Hurdy-gurdy solo.

Also, the hurdy-gurdy is the thing with a crank. Think of it as a.. sort of a mechanical violin I guess?

Yes, you turn a crank to produce the sound, like dragging a bow across a violin, then press keys to make different notes. Crazy but incredible instrument.

Yes! One of my favorite bands. I hope you will check out more.

That's a tin whistle not a flute. Flute is always held horizontally.

They put on a great show, saw them last September. Have the chance to see them again in October if concerts are allowed by then.

I have a Norwegian Group for you to check out. (Wardruna ft Aurora) “Helvegan “with Lyrics live at Traena festival 2017.

This whole album is phenomenal. Fell in love with these guys quick.

"I play in a Metalband" "Cool, which Instrument?" "The Hurdy Gurdy!" ".... what ?!"

You MUST see them live, amazing🤘🤘🤘

First off - absolutely love eluveitie and your reactions are A+ man, great job Second, I just had to comment to say DOPE DISCRAFT HAT DUDE :D:D ultimate represent

Great reaction! I don't know if you put it intentionally, but the picture of hurdy-gurdy comes from Michalina's store (the girl which plays the hurdy-gurdy in Eluveitie). If you want to see clearly how she is playing, check out her channel (Michalina Malisz), she did some Eluveitie's songs playthroughs and some great covers.

Time 5:55 - "was that a hurdy-gurdy?" YES! THAT is a hurdy-gurdy!!! Check out more by ELUVEITIE they are AWESOME! King, Innis Mona, Helvetios, Call of the mountains, Rose for Epona, the list goes on and on.

Great reaction xD This song always blows people's mind when they first listen to it... I give you a lis of countries that deserve a pin: Sweden : THERION - To Megatherion (first symphonic metal song ever released) / DIABLO SWING ORCHESTRA - A tapdancer's dilemma Netherlands; EPICA - Consign to oblivion / DELAIN - Masters of destiny /WITHIN TEMPTATION - The truth beneath the rose A NEW DAWN - Winter Russia: IMPERIAL AGE - Legacy of Atlantis Norway: SIRENIA - Seven widows weep / LEAVES' EYES - Maid of Lorraine France: PENUMBRA - The prophetess / DREAMSLAVE - Pirate's Anthem / EIDON - Skyline / KERION - Fireblast / YOTANGOR - Another place Germany: HAGGARD - Per aspera ad astra / XANDRIA - Nightfall / CORONATUS - Wolftanz Austria - VISIONS OF ATLANTIS - Return to Lemuria / SUNTERRA - Out of the dark Ukraine - IGNEA - Alga Spain: DIABULUS IN MUSICA - Blind muse Mexico - NOSTRA MORTE - Nostra morte Argentina - ESCAPIST - Eternal life Bulgaria: METALWINGS - Fallen angel in the hell Hungary: IDEAS - I say no There's goog music all around the world, as you can see. Greetings from Spain and stay safe and metal...

I think, you can place a pin on Samoa as well: Shepherds Reign - Le Manu And another pin on Switzerland: Burning Witches - Hexenhammer (official music video) Your pronunciation of Eluveitie was perfect btw :-)

Over a thousand years old instrument, thats what hurdy gurdy is :)

Glad you liked it :) !!!!

More Eluveitie ! ;)

Wow omg 😱

I suggest you check out their cover of Powerwolf's song, IRA SANCTI (they sing it in the reconstructed form of the Gaulish language). Whilst we're at it, you might also want to react to Powerwolf themselves, I suggest WE DRINK YOUR BLOOD and KILLERS WITH A CROSS for a start. Another one definitely worth checking is Sabaton - so many songs, hard to pick, but maybe: 40-1 (live at woodstock 2012). I promise you won't regret it! :)

I reacted the same way you did! \m/

Hurdy-gurdy: a bit like a violin, but with extra strings & played with an internal wheel (thus the crank) instead of an external bow. Also noted a mandolin (I think), a harp, & a hand drum. Still hasn't changed my opinion of "metal."

You should check out Patty Gurdy. Over The Hills or The Longing.

If you want to know more about the hurdy gurdy, chech Michalina Malisz on KZfaq, she is Eluveitie's hudry gurdist and she is awesome.

Brictom very coolest and earlier!!! Eluveitie Unplugged - Brictom

Do PTX Making Christmas and Hit The Road Jack where Avi blows the speakers.

If you want a good example of what a Hurdy Gurdy can really do/close-up on how it's played, check this out if you want kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r9allK19rbHDfIU.html

IF you liked this .. PLEASE check out Tyr - Sunset Shore!

Next do Eluveitie- king

You know, I am not sure how to pronounce Eluveitie either. I have been going by "Ell-you-VEE-tay", but now I am not sure. I have heard Rebirth before, but if you want a good gateway song into their stuff, The Call Of The Mountain is one of my favorites.

Please watch Avi Kaplan The Summit, and Quarter Past Four and The Other Side. Also Pentatonix cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please react to “Jillian” by Within Temptation if you like Nightwish you will enjoy it! Greetings fron Mexico! 🤘🏻🙏

You should go back to Voiceplay for their medley Queen in 5 Minutes. The bass (Frank Castellucci) goes both really high and really low.

In German it is Called a 'Drehleier' Edit: A Lyra. A hurdy-gurdy. You was right. i googled it.

React to "Krampus - Paralysis".

Weird. Not in my wheelhouse... kind of diggin it.

Dude have you never listened to dimmu Borgir check out their song the serpentine offering

I'd love you to react to Steam Powered Giraffe! Especially their song 'Honeybee'! And for some UK representation, I'd recommend Crywank. Weird but cool vibes.

pronounciation is El-Vay-Tay or El-U-Vay-tay

Your family recommends bands like Nightwish and Eluviete for you? You have some cool fuckin family!

It's pronounced "Ay-loo-vay-tee-ay"

Good song. I'd like 20% more if I could understand what the male screams are saying.
