About
Eluveitie, Swiss folk metal blending melodies and Celtic roots since 2002.
Four major LPs on Nuclear Blast — detailed pressings and real-time vinyl prices.
Eluveitie emerged in 2002 under Chrigel Glanzmann’s leadership, fusing melodic death metal with Celtic folk. Their debut EP “Vên” (2003) preceded their first studio album “Spirit” (2006). Since signing to Nuclear Blast in 2007, they have released multiple vinyl LPs featuring a mix of harsh vocals and folk instrumentation including hurdy-gurdy, whistles, and fiddles. Their lyrics occasionally include Ancient Helvetic Gaelic, linking to ancestral Celtic heritage. The focused incorporation of traditional and metal elements maintains a distinct sonic identity that unfolds across their discography.
Vinyl editions often come as limited runs, numbered, and with varied pressings, highlighting the collector appeal.
