Don’t let the title mislead you: Origins, Eluveitie’s new album, is in no way a “back-to-the-roots” record. After all, it’s not like the Swiss band ever changed their musical direction. They remain faithful to the folk metal that has swept so many people off their feet and made them a flagship band of the genre. Following the path set by their previous albums, Eluveitie are going further in their exploration of the Celtic history and culture. The fact that they had to replace two members has obviously not changed a thing. They just keep increasing their fanbase and gaining ground, as their recent victory in the Swiss Music Awards (“Best national live performance”) aptly shows. Being the first ever metal band to receive such a prestigious award in Switzerland has beautifully paved the way for Origins.
We talked about the new album with Chrigel Glanzmann, leader, vocalist, musician and sole composer of the band. The subjects ranged from Gaulish mythology (another aspect of Celtic culture) to the record’s conception, and from the departures within the band to the new arrivals.
