Ategnatos

Born in the rural mysticism of the Swiss alps and since a very early point deeply rooted within Celtic mythology, Gaulish history and proto European culture, ELUVEITIE have long become Folk Metal’s trailblazers, spindoctors and rightful masters of their craft. All the more because they never limited themselves to simple forays through rune decorated cliches or foolish drinking songs. A work based on archaic archetypes and the ancient concept of renewal, » Ategnatos « unfolds an elemental force to be reckoned with. with.“These archetypes are still within us. People didn't change that much during the last 3000 years and men were always just men.” No wonder the album follows a decidedly darker, monumental tone that suits them very well. Of course, ELUVEITIE have long found their very own trademark sound, a sonic adventure often copied but never overcome. With » Ategnatos « , the dedicated nine piece not only worked with a real string quartet (a premiere!) and granted Fabienne Erni ’s sublime mastery of the harp the room it deserved; they also undertook a holistic upgrade resulting in some of the most catchy Ambriamus ’’), most aggressive (‘ Worship’, featuring LAMB OF GOD titan Randy Blythe on guest vocals) or most epic ( (‘Black Water Dawn’) tunes the Swiss Metal nobility has ever
