Eluveitie<\/strong> (\/\u025bl\u02c8ve\u026ati\/<\/a> el-VAY-tee<\/em><\/a>; German: <\/small>[\u025bl\u02c8fa\u026a\u032fti\u02d0]<\/a>) is a Swiss folk metal<\/a> band from Winterthur<\/a>, Z\u00fcrich<\/a>, founded in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project’s first demo, V\u00ean<\/em>, was released in 2003. V\u00ean<\/em> was a studio project of Glanzmann’s, but its success led to the recruitment of a full band. The band then released a full-length album, Spirit<\/a><\/em>, in June 2006. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2007, Eluveitie was signed by Nuclear Blast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group rose to fame following the release of their first major-label album, Slania<\/a><\/em>, in February 2008. The album peaked at number 35 in the Swiss charts and number 72 in the German charts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The band’s style incorporates characteristics of melodic death metal<\/a> combined with the melodies of traditional Celtic<\/a> music. They use traditional European instruments, including the hurdy-gurdy<\/a> and bagpipes<\/a>, amidst guitars and both clean and harsh vocals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their lyrics include references to Celtic mythology<\/a>, particularly of Celtic Gaul<\/a>. The lyrics are often in a reconstructed form<\/a> of the extinct ancient language Gaulish<\/a>. The name of the band comes from graffiti on a vessel from Mantua<\/a> (c. 300 BC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inscription<\/a> in Etruscan letters<\/a> reads eluveitie,<\/em> which has been interpreted as the Etruscan<\/a>form of the Celtic *(h)elvetios<\/em> (\u201cthe Helvetian\u201d), presumably referring to a man of Helvetian<\/a> descent living in Mantua.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
