via Anna Murphy of Eluveitie - Eluveitie – Exploring Origins | Dead Rhetoric -- One of the longest standing and revered of the current folk metal genre, Eluveitie has stayed the course for over 12 years now. Taking a solid melodic death metal backbone and adding in traditional Celtic/folk instruments, such as the hurdygurdy, has always been the base of Eluveitie’s sound. They have brought in more instrumentation and experimentation over the years, but the core of the band has remained the same. Helvetios saw the band attempt a concept album, and for their most recent release, Origins, the band has loosened the reins a bit, but still keeping things with a common focus... deadrhetoric/features/eluveitie-exploring-origins/ #HGWeekly :|: #HurdyGurdy #Eluveitie #metal #folkmetal #Draailier #Drehleier #Viellearoue #Zanfona #Ghironda
