Eluveitie
Eluveitie is a Swiss folk metal band from Winterthur, Zurich founded by Chrigel Glanzmann. The band was formed in 2002 and their first EP, Vên was released in 2003. Vên was a studio project of Glanzmann's but its success led to the recruitment of a full band. They describe themselves as "The new wave of folk metal". After the release of their first full-length album, Spirit in June 2006, Eluveitie was signed by Nuclear Blast. The band has released six records under the label since then. They are one of the most prominent bands of the folk metal scene and have reached high positions in both the Swiss and German charts. Eluveitie use traditional instruments amidst guitars and harsh vocals. The lyrics are often in the now extinct language Gaulish.
