"Slania" is the band's second studio album. It is the first to include Anna Murphy in the lineup. Eluveitie, formed in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann, has always fused modern metal with Celtic musical traditions. Hailing from the Swiss Alps and deeply rooted in Celtic history, mythology, and spirituality, the band has become a cornerstone of the modern metal scene. Their debut album, "Vên" (2004), paved the way for a unique blend of melodic death metal and traditional folk. Subsequent albums like "Slania", "Everything Remains (As It Never Was)", "Helvetios", and "Origins" solidified their reputation. The acoustic albums "Evocation I - The Arcane Dominion" and "Evocation II - Pantheon" demonstrated their versatility. In 2022, Eluveitie released the singles "Aidus" and "Exile of the Gods", marking a new chapter in their musical journey and thematic cycle, continuing the lyrical concept opened by their last studio album "Ategnatos". These tracks were followed by the announcement of their upcoming album, "ÀNV", scheduled for release in April 2025. The first single from this album, "Premonition", has just been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the band's sonic evolution. Over the years, Eluveitie has experienced lineup changes, with their most recent addition being Léa-Sophie Fischer on violin in May 2024. Despite these changes, the band's essence and soul remain intact. With nine studio albums, numerous tours around the world, and headlining shows worldwide, Eluveitie continues to be a dynamic force in the metal genre.
