You know your metal band goes hard as hell when the flute solo comes before the guitar solo

You know you've got a great Eluveitie solo when a hurdy-gurdy is harmonising with two distorted electric guitars.

Manager: So how many instruments u want for this song ? Band: Yes

So what do you do? I'm in a metal band. cool, what do you play? The flute. .........

This is one of those bands that I didn't know I needed in my life until I was introduced to them.

Folking Heavy!

Really?!? ... I think this is my favorite song on Eluveitie, from the first time I hear it! I am a fan of the group maybe for 9-10 years. And I can say that,...all I wanted to hear is in this song. Perfect vocals on both sides, and ahh!... The music... makes you fly or cry (depends on your mood). Thank you for making this beautiful song and I hope you will continue in the same spirit! Bow before Eluveitie

That song was the only bright thing on this cursed 27th of October... found my brother dead in his room... and this 5minutes and 8 seconds brought me at least for a short time out of this world to calm down and realise the world around me... Thank you guys so much for this...

Headbanging with hurdy-gurdy

PURE FUCKING METAL! Long awaited return of the folk metal masters! Outstanding job Chrigel and co!!!

Band manager: Alright guys, we need to make a new song. Any suggestions? Person1: Death metal! Band manager: Good, what should the lyics be about? Person2: Let it be about the unity in nature and how we are one with our world? Band manager: In a deatm metal song??? Person3: Actually let's make it a ittle bit folkish. Band manager: A... folkish.... death metal.... song? How do we aim to do that? Person4: Let's add a flute. Band manager: Ok, so that covers the ins... Person4: and a Mandola! Band manager: Might be a little too much, but I think we can.. Person4: and a Viola! Band manager: We're taking this a little bit too far Person5: and my Hurdy-gurdy! Band manager: The f**k is that??? Person1: The setting guys, the setting! Let's shoot somewhere gothic. Person2: But cut to some forest shots to accent the folkish parts. Band manager: Are you people serious? This is ridiculous. We can't just... Person6: Is it too late to include a harp? Band manager: F**k it, do whatever you want.

I love the new singer! So beautiful!😍😍😍😍 all the other new people are awesome too!

This is quite literally everything I hoped it to be. Brilliant use of everyone's talents, thinking outside the box when it comes to the folk instruments and not holding back on the heaviness. Great sign of what's to come.

I love her accent when singing english! please more of that.

Favourite part of the song: 0:26 when Michaelina does the stomp to tell us all: Here comes the Hurdy so NOW we´re getting busy!

I'll never get over seeing that hurdy-gurdy girly hardcore rocking out in a metal vid. It's just so incredibly out of place that it actually falls into place perfectly

This felt like someone took a bunch of classic Eluveitie songs and mashed them together, in the best way. There's little hints that it's a new lineup, but it's still distinctly Eluveitie. Cannot fucking wait for the next album.

I don't give a fuck who sings it, this is the Eluveitie sound I know and love!!

Chrigel delivers all the time. His grasp for new singers and band members to bring up is awesome. Think he's mentoring dozends of new talents ...

Man, how is it so many people are so blind to a band's history? Did all of you just see the singles off the last album like "man this new band is pretty cool" and just never notice their entire back catalogue? THIS is Eluveitie's bread and butter sound. Their acoustic stuff is fantastic as well but this is the more 'original' sound for them...AND IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Finally some fucking hurdy gurdy solo! I loved it! :D

ok... I'm very new to this band, even though I listenened to their videos from time to time... My brain wasn't ready for this AT ALL. Holy moly. The guy playing the flute, the girl with a hurdy-gurdy joining the other two guitarists, both singers gone crazy, and so on and on... They nailed it as F*, love it.

can we take a second to appreciate the sheer volume of content this guy writes?

Lyrics: Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness, when nothing is left These dreadful shades Dancing in my dwindling sight And crying out these hollow words A straying soul in my scorching flesh Dying down amid this fucking blaze My swooning world Infested by strident cries In worship of the void All vanishing in the dull and distant noise Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth As one with pain and with distress Sweet surrender in serenity Will I remember this womb at all? Will I never know? Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left I am not here I do not last I am the grain in the earth I am the wave in the deep sea I am the softly whispered word In the murmuring autumn breeze In front of Antumnos' gate I beheld the mirror in the lake Recognize, I did not Nor did I comprehend Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth Thanks ☺️

This is BEYOND awesomeness! You've change the best way possible! Keep it up!

folking awesome!

THE ALBUM IS ON SPOTIFY AND IT IS EVERYTHING WE HAVE WAITED FOR! 16 tracks of raw EPICNESS.

at 4:18 actual footage of Xavier communicating to Jean Grey telepathically in another dimension "Let go jean! Show them your power!" then she proceeds to let out the most brutal scream I've ever heard her do

I just adore Michalina and her Hurdy Gurdy

I was afraid that they wouldn't return to metal in a while. Although I enjoy acoustic music, always, I wanted a comeback to metal....... and Gods Below of our Celtic lands, THIS IS FUCKING INSANE. Eluveitie, you had just one job and you NAILED IT!

No matter how many times I listen to this song (which is easily in the 1000's of times by now) it still gives me chills every single time, I will love this shit until I die and beyond

Guy: How alternative is your alternative rock? Me:

As a newcomer to Eluveitie, this is pretty dang good and I'm extremely anxious to hear more from the new album.

Its like most people forgot about Inis Mona when they talk about the death metal vibes...

I'm so glad they are adding more complexity to their songs to give them better flow and stronger emotional connection with the power of the music.

Fabienne has such a beautiful voice!

Can't wait for more. This album will rock. Loving the direction.

The best of old and actual Eluveitie in one song ! Congrats guys !

I swear every member of this band can play more than 1 instrument and 2 sing, such talent.

I remember listening to these guys when I was 15. I'm 29 now and getting back into metal again. These guys have always rocked

It's a nice piece of metal, I like it! I hope I can see you live soon!

after listening 3 times I like this song

Everything is awesome when that flute plays, and our dear vocal

THIS. This is their best song yet. It has it all, brutality, insane melody, insane hurdy gurdy parts, mindblowing flute riffs, heavenly clean voice, sick drumming parts, epic guitar solos.... This is the perfect eluveitie song yet! FUCKING MONUMENTAL.

That leg drop before the flute, fucking awesome

AMAZING BAND!!! POWER AND STRENGTH! NEW FLOW OF CLEAN AIR

Love the new line-up. Old is great too, but new line-up is killing it.

While i was fine with Eluveitie with Anna, but with Fabienne and Michalina and such sweet return to more heavy sound? I dont miss her at all. I really hope Eluveitie's next album would be like this single.

Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left These dreadful shades Dancing in my dwindling sight And crying out these hollow words A straying soul in my scorching flesh Dying down amid this fucking blaze My swooning world Infested by strident cries In a worship of the void All vanishing in a dull and distant noise Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth As one with pain and with distress Sweet surrender in serenity Will I remember this womb at all? Will I ever know? Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left I am not here I do not last I am the grain in the earth I am the wave in the deep I am the softly whispered word In the murmuring autumn breeze In front of Antumnos' gate I beheld the mirror in the lake Recognize I did not Nor did I comprehend Oh bright sun of the night I lift my eyes up to thee Oh ye amber golden light let the dark sweep over me Mighty cauldron, oh nidus I surrender all to thee Panacean nothingness when nothing is left This was my rebirth

Amazing song! Welcome back Eluveitie!

Okay so...Beautiful Readhead with the voice of an Angel with a nice lilt to it...and then her vocals at the end...blew me the hell away, wasn't expecting that. All in all. perfection.

Never heard them before. I truly find it a remarkable kind of metal, ranging from melodic death metal with sprinkles of folk and classical pieces. I like it veri much👌👌👌👌⚽️

Hola shit! The band is reborn! That flute, that everything!!!!!!

OMFG! What was that? I could not blink! best band ever!

Goddamn I can't help but find the way the women headbang to be really smooth and how the lead female singer moves during the chorus to be incredibly hypnotic.

Teacher: Who you want to be when you grow up? James: I wanna be an astronaut! Sandy: I wanna be a lawyer! Me: I wanna be the softly whispered word in the murmuring autumn breeze!

My Elu is back.....yahoooooooo

The breakdown with flute (or whatever it is) in the beginning smashed my brain. :O ps. that chorus!!

Oh my fucking God !!!! This is insane !!!!!!! This is so good.

Oh my goodness. This band is just everything. Very proficient musicians, very nice mix between the celtic music, and the metal, and boy, they rock. Just started listening to them, and now I can't stop.

HELL YES!! Beautiful Fabienne's voice and heavy Chrigel's scream. New and fresh Eluveitie. More guitar solos in folk metal? Absolutely I'm in love with this version of Eluvetie!

The first Metal song released by the new line-up, and there is just one thing to say: HOLY F***ING SHIT, ELUVEITIE IS BACK!!! :-D

tremolo hurdy gurdy.

The melody of the chorus is based off a traditional Irish song. It was translated into English as “I Am Stretched On Your Grave”.

The perfect song doesn't exis... whoa!

I don't understand... When they choose to compose a more "folk song", people are complaining, and when they do the opposite, people are also complaining ?

She's the most beautiful singer that has ever existed. I'd marry without second thought.

Am I the only one who clicks other people's playlists and finds a ton of folk metal by accident, but finds it really relaxing and left wondering why i'm not adding it all to my metal playlist?

Yes, more of this!

eluveitie never really disappoints, but this.. is something else. cheers!

The drumming on this song is absolutely ferocious. Nevermind the the beauty of the folk instruments that I'm already used to

I need more metal groups like Eluveitie with the flute 😍😍

Sounds fresh! Michalina and Fabienne were a good addition to the band!!

they never disapoint me !!!! lml

Been on their concert a week ago, and it really was a powerful, amazing experience. They are not slowing down, but have even more energy then ever before. And what amazes me is, that we were able too hear each instrument, and at some point there were 9 of them :-) so it is a nice experience and since they are here every 2 years, can’t wait for next concert...

Another tremendous song!!! Hatss off!!

OMG this is wonderful!!! Keep your unique style guys! Im in love with Michalina Malisz

Awesome song!

After listening to this song 100 times, i can say that that instrumental part from 2:37-3:41 still gets me everytime. Its that good

I love this new vocalist. She fits this band so well.

Amazing!

GREAT WORK GUYS! You guys experimented a lot in this song, which should not go unnoticed, and I think it paid off! Since Ana departed this new singer has been doing really well, and I must say this is my favorite of hers. Just fantastic.👌👍 The second guitar solo was 10/10 and 3:30 gave me chills. Thank you Eluveitie for consistently making fantastic music.

I have loved Eluveitie since the EP days. You are my favorite band by all standards. So diverse, yet.... (no better word to describe but: metal and) musical perfectionists. I was so worried when many members quit after you fired the drummer, but you have found your sound again. Nothing but love for the song. You will forever be an inspiration. Celtic Darling will always be amazing as well. Nobody harnesses voice and hurdy like Ana. Good luck, Eluveitie. You ARE the quintessential of folk metal. Nobody can mimic your sound without failure. I love each and every one of you and the new members as you continue your epic traditions. Rebirth is the perfect name to a new song of epic proportions from a new band following the same path after the hardships you have bridged. I will always follow you and support you.

this band bring me back of 2000 years ago, i love them

This is the best Song I heard from Eluveitie since Anna left the band... not quite sure about the guitar solo yet, but 4:17 gives me goosebumps all the time. THIS ist the sound I love about Eluveite... and I am glad they still have it. To be honest, I thought when Anna left that it will never be the same... I am happy to see I was wrong and I can listen to two great bands now.

Eluveitie? -> Instalike Those first 27 seconds again... You guys just know how to open a song! I liebe öi musig! Eines Tages wirdi öich o no live gseh!

I love how this just starts as a normal death metal song and then explodes into something beautiful.

This the Heavy Metal we all deserve in this Century 🤟🏽🤟🏽

S L A N I A vibes all over again...welcome back.

Are we all just gonna ignore the fact that not only is Fabienne Erni an amazing singer, but she's an absolute goddess too

Loved it and was amazed by it when it first came out and still love it, my favourite with Eluveitie! Amazing!

Found these guy's by accident 5 or 6 years ago, been hooked ever since.

I love Fabienne's voice in this song, it perfectly "calms" down the "heavy" metal riffs, and gives a beautiful folk sweetness to it 😍 Except of the heavier parts of course, which are amazing too 😁

This is by far the most bipolar music I've ever heard.

This is like the perfect weird mix of instruments! Hurdy Gurdy, Violin, Flute, the one that kind of looks like a mandolin? And heavy guitars/bass. That flute solo was awesome!

amazing! love you guys. Please come to Canada...Kelowna....anywhere this side of the Atlantic and im there

yeah love it

You guys just somehow managed to embody the ancient gods in musical form - My spirit rises, burns and explodes.... Chrigel and Fabienne with their voices go so well together, like fire and water crushing and renewing... and Michalina, and her hurdy gurdy's mystical sounds vibrating my bones... THIS - IS - MY - REBIRTH

Never thought I would headbang so hard to a flute solo!!

Cette tune me donne des frissons chaque fois ; du génie !
