WATCH THE NEW ELUVEITIE VIDEO. THEN GO SEE THEM LIVE ON PAGANFEST USA.
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 at 3:52pm by Axl RosenbergHere’s the video for Eluveitie’s new single,”Inis Mona.” It comes off of their latest album, the super awesome Slania, which is in stores now, and which I can virtually guarantee is better than any other new European melodic death metal album you might buy between now and May.
Yeah, I said it.
In case you somehow missed the 8 trillion other posts we’ve written about it, Eluveitie will join Turisas, Ensiferum, and Tyr and on this spring’s Paganfest USA tour, which MetalSucks is proudly co-sponsoring. That means that you should, like, totally go.
A complete list of tour dates to follow after the video…

This odd genre of metal always makes me chuckle. It’s almost as if they don’t know they’re in on the joke.
Eluveitie has put out what will more than likely be in my top 10 if not top 5 of the year…however i’d be amiss if i didn’t say I think Alkonost’s new one pulls slightly ahead, at least in my ears ;)
Album does not hit stores until March 11…. Axl, sir, you FAIL! :)
By the way, ELUVEITE slays!!!! A 7-piece band featuring a hurdy-gurdy player? Yes, please!
This is soo goofy. I like it though. I reviewed this record for the radio station I worked at. It’s good stuff.
Is he playing Uilleann pipes? Where is Lemmy when you need him??
God damn, i was going just for Turisas, now i have 2 bands to check out when i’m there :) Anyone else going to the Toronto show?
PS: Fuck whoever scheduled Protest the hero the same night.
