It's so interesting seeing my parents in these KZfaq videos. You guys are so cute. I love you!!💜💜 EDIT: I can also attest to the fact that my Dad loves folk metal. Grew up to him driving me around listening to a lot of awesome folk metal 🤘🏾 EDIT 2: I know my parents are awesome, but I'm always amazed at how likeable they are as people when I watch their videos 🤔🤔🤔🤔

"We're in a metal band !" "Cool ! what instrument do you play ?" "The flute" "What ?" "I play the Hurdy Gurdy" "... "

Michalina Malisz on hurdy-gurdy, our Polish star.

Eluveitie are good. I love "A Rose for Epona" and as a linguist, I LOVE "Omnos".

Only Eluveitie can have you headbanging to riffs played on a mandola or a hurdy-gurdy and rocking out to flute solos.

Wolf asks: " As a band can you copy yourself?" When you´re composing there is a concept called " citation" where you use an idea, a phrase, a motif, a theme that you have already explored and developed in an earlier work and you reimagine it as a vehicle for taking that same idea and redevelop and explore new directions that same idea can take you in as the foundation for a new work,song, whatever,- a citation,- you´re quoting yourself. Bach did this constantly to see in how many directions and to what full extent he could develop just one idea,- so yes,- you can! This example from Eluveitie shows us all to what full content and satisfaction it could be done in a metal context. Awesome song!

I love this band! My favorite song by this band is calling the rain. Check out insomnia by cellar darling. They left eluveitiie a little over a year ago and they have really good music too😊

I think that folk metal here in Europe has made more for the preservation of traditional music than many academic and government programs. I know of projects here in Portugal and in Galicia in the north of Spain that working together they helped to renovate the interest in an old language like Galico-portuguese (btw the Spanish central government is not very found of), this is just a small example of the less known importance of folk metal. I could tell you more but writing on a mobile phone drives me nuts. Thank you guys for another great reaction video. Love you guys so much, a big bear hug to wolf and a bow and a kiss in thy hand milady Sistah. P.s I would give you names of folk metal bands to illustrate my point but I'm pretty sure you have more than enough suggestions and besides I do not wish to be one more reason for you guys not to watch the rest of ahs. Again thank you both so much!!!

I've seen them live in a festival and yes, all those acoustic instruments are played by musicians in the flesh.

"KING" Has to be next

ooooh, i loved the Death intro!!!

Also, the album came out earlier this year. They teased with that single for almost two years.

This is why I fucking love this channel. She gets so ecstatic over music to the point of tears where normies aren't hearing what she's hearing. There's so much emotion in music that is missing from today's garbage, and it's awesome seeing someone actually feeling music instead of hearing it.

One of the coolest little moments I ever experienced was this past March while out on my morning run on the countryside. It was cold, but sunny, and windy enough for the sound of it to filter through my earbuds and in popped an Eluveitie song. I can’t remember which one it was but oh boy, did it feel like I suddenly was out on this magical quest thing instead of just doing some cardio.

AAAAAAH! This is one of my favorite bands ever! Their music just reaches in and grabs your soul, it's magical. Thank you so much for listening to them. I highly recommend listening to the Ategnatos album. I am entranced by Fabienne's vocals and am glad she had joined, much as I also loved Anna. Their album Evocation II: Pantheon also has her singing a lot. I do hope you guys listen to at least a few more of their songs--I will absolutely be watching. 💜

Absolutely love it. Saw them live recently and was blown away.

Its always nice to see you both react to a song. And i have to thank Wolf for the infos

Stumbled across this channel while trying to refamiliarize myself with all the bands I've listened to before and I just had to subscribe and hit the bell. The reaction and feedback from both felt totally genuine and I loved watching it. Helped steer me to more recent metal from my favorite bands. Hope to see more and keep kickin ass!

If you aren't aware of it, then l'll have you know that *_Opeth_* has collaborated with *_Steven Wilson._* I think both on the *_Blackwater_* Park and *_Deliverance_* albums as far as I remember. Both title songs are by the way masterpieces. You will love them! ;)

Eluveitie seem to have this particular.. dynamic. That blend of instruments and vocals, both clean and distorted. Some of their best stuff is on the earlier albums. Helvetios and Origins are probably their biggest staples.

You guys are great, I didn't know Wolf was an Amon Amarth fan , can't beat that ..... Heidevolk is amazing as well! If you want to have Goosebumps go up and down your spine from vocals check out Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen Her vocals in the beginning will give you Goosebumps and then their vocals combined throughout the entire song will do the same kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNSbh9h5tZ_VY6M.html It won't even matter that they're singing in another language

Great reaction greetings from Swiss 🇨🇭

Thanks for that..Switzerland rocks🇨🇭 THE KING or ATEGNATOS next reacts👍🤘💋

Wolf you seem to have a very good music memory are you a musician yourself? Because usually non-musicians don't tend to remember songs note by note in such detail as you do.

Tribal music in general is really fascinating, when I listen to groups like Wardruna or Skald it just kinda connects to something deeper inside me.... So engrossing.

I love Eluveitie, the use of Gaulish language is a really cool facet of them as a band.

Always a great song/band to rock out to, great reaction!! May I suggest my former band Heidevolk with their song Wolf in my Heart, if you enjoy the folky metal stuff? All the best to you and Wolf from The Netherlands! :)

When will you two come to Germany and enjoy the Wacken Open Air?!?!

This song is full of dope :D Spelling the band's name like El-a-way-tea Also check their songs 'King' or 'Ambiramus' as a bit different taste. No need to reaction, just don't die before listening them :D

Its always such a fresh breath of air to see your reactions, especially when you're loving the songs so much

Yay, so glad you got to Eluveitie. Love Wolf's comparisons, too! Please check out their song King, too. I love Fabienne's voice, and her predecessor Anna Murphy's. And please check out Anna's new band Cellar Darling, which is made up of Anna, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter who were all previously in Eluveitie. Lots more hurdy gurdy and flute in their stuff, and a different take on the genre - it's folky but more proggy, too. Try Insomnia, Six Days, Death or Drown.

Earlier in the video, Wolf mentioned how much the other, more unique instruments, like the flute and violin, have an impact on the live performance. I couldn’t agree more, and that’s why I love symphonic metal so much. To me, there’s nothing like watching heavy metal backed by a full orchestra on stage, and it would be my dying wish to one day get to see a favorite band or two perform this way..... Now, on to the song itself. You guys both really enjoyed the harmony of the make and female vocals, which I’ve noticed to be a trend with you two (coming from the Nightwish videos! ;)), so I can’t believe that you haven’t reacted to Epica yet! Epica is a symphonic metal band fronted by Simone Simons, an amazing lady with an absolutely gorgeous singing voice. You would dig anything they have to offer, although I will especially recommend Sancta Terra (there’s a live version with Floor to ease your way into the band by the way! It’s live with an orchestra too!), Cry for the Moon, Delirium, Quietus, Dance of Fate, and Living a Lie. I would also like to recommend Stream of Passion, which is a progressive metal band from the Netherlands. They are no longer together, but the front woman’s voice is really, really good, and their music is a little different, but catchy. My favorites include Open Your Eyes, Don’t Let Go, Autophobia, and The Curse. Finally, I would also like to recommend Kamelot. Previously a symphonic band, but now more progressive, Kamelot is male-fronted, but utterly incredible. They released two albums- Epica (just like the band lol) and The Black Halo)- which tell the story of Goethe’s Faust, reimagined. It’s one of the best things to ever grace symphonic metal, and music in general. I would absolutely love to see you two react to just a few songs from those albums, namely Abandoned, The Haunting (featuring my girl from Epica, Simone Simons!), and March of Mephisto (although you could do a twitch stream reacting to the albums in order, as they are supposed to be listened to, which would be utterly amazing). Again, the story and the lyrics are just breathtaking, so I highly, highly recommend it. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. ;) PS: Fantastic reaction Sistah, as always :)

Yas I love Eluveitie

For some more great folk metal, try Аркона (Arkona) from Russia or Vintersorg from Sweden or even Borknagar from Norway. Cheers!

ive seen them live at graspop metal meeting Belgium, they were awesome and absolutely friendly and fun :)

Best reaction video ever! 😍 Why did it take me a whole year to come across it?

Great band, great song and amazing reaction to it. Looking forward to see them live in December, together with Laguna Coil and Infected Rain in Stuttgart/Germany. Rock on. 🤘🏽

I love Cellar Darling, the three-piece made up of former members of Eluveitie. Their sound is quite different from their former band.

Coming late here but I have to compliment you for 'calling out' the similarities to older songs. I love Eluveitie but they really like to revisit older stuff.

Thank You guy's. ❤....I know some Swizz metal and they come in two. Eluveitie and Swizz army knife...😊 Both are good quality.

Sistah ‚n‘ Kain.... thousand freaking thanks for listening to one of my fav bands... great

Feel the power of the hurdy gurdy

Have a great week Sistah and Wolf!!

Would love to hear y'all react to "The Clouding" by Iced Earth. It's my favorite song from my favorite album by them Framing Armageddon: Something Wicked Part 1. The album is about how there were a race of beings known as the Setians, the true descendents of the Architect of the Universe or God, who were the original inhabiters of Earth. Humans came from a different world and they wanted to conquer Earth for the Setian's magics and technology. "The Clouding" tells the part of the story about where the surviving ten-thousand Setians use great magic to wipe the memories of the Humans, change thier skin color and languages, and bury their technology in the desert. This is in relation to the story of Babel from the Bible. There are two parts to this particular song. You first get the Human's side then you get the Setian's when the song gets heavier. Also in my opinion, if you do this song, listen to the version from the album not the one with Matt Barlow singing. Matt Barlow era of Iced Earth may be my favorite era and Tim Owens may be my least favorite vocalist Iced Earth ever had but Tim does this album amazingly.

ah finally a Swiss Metal Band "Eluveitie" means actually Switzerland in the celtic culture as opposed to "Helvetia" in latin 😎👍 great reactions

Yessss!! Can you please react to Amongst Stars by Amorphis?? Pleasee

I love this channel so much omg

Please do the slumber next😍

Eluveitie are 1 of the greatest bands to come in to this modern era of metal since the early 2000's. Chrigel Glanzmann is 1 of the best songwriters out there. The whole band is amazing past and present.

A great reaction as per usual! Sending love from Russia

I love all the context that Wolf creates before every reaction

Please react to Avantasia - The Scarecrow live from Wacken, you'll love it since it has some folky elements

If you like Eluveitie you should check out Skálmöld from Iceland. They have toured together and it's easy to see why. Here is an excellent live performance you might enjoy. The female singer in the middle part is named Edda Tedeger and she's really something else: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZOekqWpzdzPhps.html

Infinite Dreams reaction Wolf

Would love it if you guys reacted to their song Celtos, it's epic! Origins is one of the best Folk albums I've ever heard.

psssst... WIntersun ;)

So if you love Folk metal you chould really do Wilderun - The garden of fire The best Folk Metal band from America. Really good blend of vocals, Heavy and softer parts just perfect

Yes y'all this song is absolutely huge I love it👏👏👏thanks for sharing this😘💕

If you like both progressive and symphonic metal, check the band Ex libris-The exile (lyrics+subtítulos), I am sure that this video will make you cry

The Duality of the vocals is a very Celtic idea of the meeting of Darkness (Chirgel with his screams) and Light (Fabienne and previously Anna). Everything they do seems to be able to be traced to an idea from Pre-Christian Celts

Hey, if you like Steven Wilson, you need to try his old band Porcupine Tree - Song Anesthetize live at Tilburg. Will blow you away.

I was totally loveed first two Eluveitie albums, but as Wolf I am not very familiar with their new stuff. Because time passed and I found something not resonating with me. I love Folk Metal but I love it slightly different, I love it just less "metalcore" like.

It would be cool to see them do Wakki Band, Senbonzakura.

Maybe thats the point, since the name is called rebirth, a reminder of their old sound and now comes again back.to life

Well...about damn time lol. \m/

2:40 you pronounce it more like hiden folk(heidevolk) they got"famous" in a little village next to my hometown :P

As far as i remember this is the firSt Eluveitie song with solo guitars..they always do solo violin or else but guitars... The guitars are always a "solo rhytm" through all the songs. Helvetios by far is their best albuM for me.. Thank you for react to this

fantastic song and reaction ✌️😎👍

Traditional Music from Europe?How about Heilung,Wardruna,Aurora,Faun,Omnia,Skald.....a lot to discover !

Eluvetie (Helvetia) is the old name of SWITZERLAND 🤟👍🎤🎸

Folkmetal is also my favourite metal genre since the nineties. I like Eluveities older work when they used more Gaul language in the songs. My favourite folkmetal band are the founders of this genre; Skyclad. Try; The one piece puzzle, Art-Nazi, Thing Aloud or any other song.

Eluveitie!!!!! Yes! Ategnatos PLEASE!

You're not that far behind :-) This number was released in 2017 but the album "Ategnatos" was finally released this year.

I think part of the reason, Eluveitie repeats a lot of their melodies and things, is because they take a lot of old folk songs, and melodies and rewrite them for metal, so there is a lot of overlap.

Wow! Interesting structure of arrangements, mix of rhythms and instruments! Reminded me a kind of angra with some goth and grind core... Seems to be very orchestrated by a producer! It's fucking good! I just don't liked the exaggerated autotuning at the female voice! But I really appreciated the effects over the flute and violin! Nice video! Thanks for introducing me to this! (Still waiting for the "Evil warning" from first Angras Album) 🙏😘🤟

Wanna hear amazing folk metal? Try Mileth, song and video "De Bruma e Salitre". They are from Galicia, a once Celtic-speaking area in North-Western Spain. They have influence from Medieval "Celtic" music, just as Eluveitie, and also from Galician folk songs, and they sing in Galician language (which is a Romance language). Not because they're from my country (they are actually from a local culture I'm not part of, I'm from the deep South), but I truly and honestly believe they are one of the best and most original bands of the genre, especially after their debut album was released few months ago, and it's MASSIVE!

If you would like to give a german Folk/Rock Band a chance you should hear „Schandmaul“ and i will recomend „Der Spion“ Greetings from Austria 😊

Interesting discussion at the end of the video. I seem to be kinda between you two. I started listening to metal in the early 80's, so I'm heavily influenced by bands like Maiden, Priest, Accept, Helloween and Warlock, some of the greatest metal bands of all time in my mind. Then I dropped out of metal for quite some years, before I restarted my connection with metal in 2013. This means that one one hand, I already have a well-established backlog of great metal music, but on the other hand, there's a whole universe of music to explore that I just missed and that is just being created as of right now. And I love a lot of the musical discoveries I've made in recent years and my taste has substantially changed in ways I would never have thought possible. Nonetheless, there are certain things that will never land well on my ears, so I kinda understand where Wolf is coming from. I mean I'll never like the Rolling Stones just for the fact that I really dislike Mick Jagger's voice, I never got into Slayer even when I'm a big fan of basically every other Thrash Metal band out there and I'd probably rather die before listening to anything by Cannibal Corpse. And I also can't necessarily say for sure why I like some things and heavily dislike some other things. With the exception that no matter the genre, I need some harmonies, I need melody, if a song wants to keep my attention.

Wolf, if you love In Flames you really should try Aephanemer - Bloodline. French band, very influenced by scandinavian melo-death!

Please more Eluveitie! They are amazing!

That lip color is fire 🔥

Ive heard them pronounce their name like El-vay-tee or el-way-tee

Any band that can fit a hurdy gurdy into their sound is OK in my book.

Progressive extreme metal Ne Obliviscaris. Try the song Intra Venus, good intro song. They have a violinist too.

Pantheon II is my favourite album from them. Try any song off of that

Sistah, You make like the demo version of "A Tout Le Monde" :D and Elysian Fields!!!

Man, shame on me for never listening this band. Thanks for bringing them in my life.

Hello from Russia! Tomorrow, July 10, I will turn 30 years old. Could you please make a reaction to Helloween - King for 1000 years (live on 3 continents)? Thanks you!

A very underrated folk metal band that has been around a long time I would like to see a reaction to is SuidAkrA.

Another fantastic reaction 😍😍 would you consider listening to the song king by eluveite? It is amazing as well and has a violin solo that will blow you away!!

You should try something by Wilderun, some good folk metal from an American band.

If we talk about Switzerland,you HAVE to mention TOM WARRIOR ak HELLHAMMER/CELTIC FROST/TRIPTYKON !!!!

I just discovered your channel. By a long mile, the best of its kind on KZfaq. You are both very intelligent in your comments and, above all, so honest and open-minded. I'd go with you to a concert any day! If you're interested in great vocalists, check out Soen and 'Savia': kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7x1ebKD0JfbiXU.html - it's something between Tool and Opeth

I am quite sure that this will deliver the knock-out Somewhere - Sharon den Adel & Anneke van Giersbergen

Finally someone who think the same about WT !

Arkona and Furor Gallica are great folk metal bands.

Hello! I come here for remind you to react for somes Angra musics. will make one year sinse the last Angra song in the Channel. (Temple of Hate) recomendations: Spread you Fire Rebirth Nova Era Carry On For Tomorrow Carolina IV Fairy Tale (Shaman music) but made by André Matos... Rest in peace. Sorry if the english is not good enough, i keep training.

Loved your reactions!!! This song was epic!!! Combining brutal metal and folk instruments. When you blend Irish and Celtic music there will always be overlap. Not sure why you didn’t discuss folk metal this band is not really progressive metal like a Pink Floyd, Symphony X, Dream Theater or even Tool. It’s folk metal it’s own genre. I think Wolfkain you got off on a tangent and didn’t give this particular band it’s due attention so it didn’t let HalfLifeSistah appreciate and enjoy this particular band and folk metal song as much as she would have.

What is this band whose name sounds like "hiddeval"? :P I need the spelling!

... not sure if you know, but 'in case you missed it' id like to recommend German band IN EXtremo. I believe they might be very first folk metal band or one of few. They use lots of authentic instruments, some even self made from descriptions or sketches ... Also i think Wolf could play for her some Anathema - its like heavier Pink Floyd ... ... nice video, tho im not a fan of modern Eluveitie [liked early stuff].... and its nothing like traditional metal this is more Nu + Screamo ...
