ELUVEITIE

Release Year: 2014
Artist Origin: SWI
Style: harmonious folklore heavy death metal

sixteen catchy tracks of sixth longplay by the leading folk metal entity from the Swiss mountains break through the speakers with a chunkier production and all fundamental elements of the subgenre, where bursts of intense drumming and crushing mid-tempo riffs are constantly offset by memorable folk melodies - new violinist Nicole Ansperger is quite a notable figure not only effectively complementing the wall of guitars, but also lending the melodies a distinctive sense of drama, as orchestral parts have become more poignant and smooth in the mix, involving traditional instrumentarium much deeper into death/heavy metal sections, further developing the epic soundscape, and in general this repertoire has a wide range of means and intricacy to fully please the eager audience
