Calling...

This song is amazing live.

Band: Eluveitie
Song: Calling the Rain
Album: Slania



A nexus fruition
Whirling cognition
Ulterior, the failing of words

A pageant to leave me bewildered
Lurch at the sight of the clandestine ascendancy
Pervading anima
An awe-struck principle, an adytum to find our home

Long for the rapture again
Crave for the pristine light

Vastness engulfing the soul
Unfurling this truth, an orbit in sovereignty
Sown into deep darkness
The grain has to die, perish to bestow new life

A vis major painting a rapturous view
Heralding a vivid thema

Heed, it's like calling the rain
It's like bearing in pain
Like embracing life an decaying in death
Heed, it's like calling the rain
It's like the caress of a mother
Like life to go withered, a perennial pneuma
I will not forget what I arose from

Decidual the forests proclaim
The glory primal, the rapturous supremacy
Vanquishing the vile
Burgeoning beyond, bearing the essence of life

Crave for the rapture again
Long for the pristine light

One of the best songs on the CD, hands fucking down. None of the lyrics are in English as well! XD

If you listen to Anagantios, near the end of the song, you can heard the intro to this song being started. I believe it's horses galloping into battle...
This is probably one of my favorite songs from them as well. \m/

Song: Bloodstained Ground

Amazing sad instrumental only to get you ravaged by the next song...

Band: Eluveitie
Song: Anagantios
Album: Slania

Escalate the sense...

This is their staple concert song. It's very easy to listen to, headbang to, and has predictable flow. The bagpipe and flute are very apparent in this song as well.

Band: Eluveitie
Song: Inis Mona
Album: Slania



Welcome to the land of questions
Welcome to the isle of lore
Where the veil came crumbling down

There it all began,
The germination
Unveiling a cryptic door
There it was revealed
Hopes and aspirations
unclosing an enthralled door

Escalate the sense
Enhancing to join the dawn

Hey, hey!

I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

twenty years I have walked your barrows
Years of emulous youth
I followed the path of the wise

There it all was sown
The inspiration
Removing the seven seals
There it was revealed
Enigma of freedom
Unclosing an unseen door

Escalate the sense
Enhancing to join the dawn

I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

Escalate the sense
Enhancing to join the dawn

I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

I close my eyes, Inis Mona
And reminisce of those palmy days
I moon o'er you, Inis Mona
As long as I breathe
I'll call you my home

This next album has a lot of songs that I really enjoy so we're going to go through most of the album...

Band: Eluveitie
Song: Primordial Breath
Album: Slania



The calling wind on my face
Waving from the summoning of giants
That heals my soul

The virile fragrance of alpine tor
The blowing breath of this fold
That dreams me

Pervading every single nook of existence

Veidon anatlâ
Trireinos koilon monis pantos
Volevos kaion moricos
Ni têrsos tenkos sves nâus-anatia
In litaviâ votno-ûrâ
Mê anatlô

Qe tebô lama deivos skver-ollos

Laden with the burdens of this life
The barque sails through endless waters
Deep and dark

Yet gestated pristinely and free
Escorting to the biding warmth
Of the womb

"I am a bard do not vouchsafe my secrets to slaves
I am a guide a judge if you sow you will labor"

"I've been..."

So as you can see from the first 2 songs I've shown you that Eluveitie is vastly different than Elvenking but still in the same genre. I love the range of instruments that Eluveitie utilizes and how it all comes together to rape or soothe your ears depending on the song.

Band: Eluveitie
Song: The Song Of Life
Album: Spirit



 
I've been fire, fed by the four winds
I've been water in the stream
And a drop of dew on the culm
I've been clay in the hands of a potter
I've been rosin of a tree
And a leaf, by the breeze carried away

I've been a child of seven spirits
I've been an eagle in the skies
And the swashing fish in the lough fulgent
I've been a tear in the wind
And a word within paean

I've been a flower on the green pasture
I've been the song of a bird
And the vast roar of a bear
I am a lump of this vivid soil
I'm the brother of the trees
a chthonian lot of this earth

Breathe this dream, and let your soul inhale it!
Bare and naked, let us dance on the meadows

Revel within this nature which we're all a part of. Free this wolf forever!
Free this child! Indui uelui cantla canamos.

This song is fucking amazing, I really don't know how else to describe it's amazingness to you people.

Song: ...Of Fire, Wind, & Wisdom
Album: Spirit




..the endless knot .... the holy grove...
...the threshold ... the place beyond...
...I enter, like a newborn child....

Embracing the eternal
Like a consuming fire
the knowledge grows
when it's cleft
Though still patchworked
yet flooding
the creating touch
washing away the vile.

Embracing the ancient
while trees gently whisper
those intimate
longed-for words
The greet wheel
is still revolving
with untouchable sovereignty
so invulnerable.

Into the sacred grove I drown
The endless knot
draws me into
the fire of hearts, the place beyond
Then I'll be born
then I'll be renewed

...naked spirit ... bare...
spirit

Eluveitie!

I bet some people were getting tired of hearing Elvenking over and over. It's ok though, no more Elvenking anymore! Next we go to Eluveitie. They are a Folk Metal band, but aren't similar to Elvenking at all! They have a HURDY FUCKING GURDY! I bet you people don't even know what a hurdy gurdy is. Well I will teach you something this post.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is a hurdy gurdy. You turn the crank that's on the right side of the instrument (left side in the picture) just as you would a jack-in-the-box. Your other hand would go on the bottom where the strings are and amazing sounds come out when you play it. They also use bagpipes in some songs. You're thinking bagpipes aren't fucking metal. Lemme tell you something.... BAGPIPES ARE FUCKING METAL NOW. Plus some flutes and violin. Overall, their play style/skill is rather simple not too complex as other bands but they sound damn good. To date they have produced 5 albums. 4 full length and 1 live album. I will only be looking at their full lengths.... enough talking, on to the metal.


Band: Eluveitie
Song: Your Gaulish War
Album: Spirit



Fraught with so much greed, imperial needs.
Satisfy your hunger for might and blood!
With greedy claws the eagle flew
Leaving chaos and widows on his hunt.

We do not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet
Nor to bow, to the laurel wreath!

"Haec terra mea est" - the urge of your own want
spurring the horse towards the devastating aint.
It's the pauper that accrouches - bared indigence
Your need should cost unnumbered lives!

might and riches you have sought,
willing to pay the price in human lives!

False and fallacious, killing and omnivorous
depleting the value of human life!
But we always knew: You came with fortune
and one day you'd come with steel!

We did not accept to bear the half-moon on our feet!
A tort that pays it wage death?

Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands?
I hope you had a ball in effacing lives!
Well, how does it feel, the blood on your hands?
I hope the gold you've won bestows your delight!

...standing at the top of all the ruin you have left...
watch our wives remigrate with crooked backs...

This is the last song that I will be showing from Elvenking... Next is Eluveitie - a much harsher type of metal in comparison to Elvenking.

Band: Elvenking
Song: The Play Of The Leaves
Album: Red Silent Tides



It's time to make a choice
No matter where it leads
Decisions need to be taken
Doesn't matter when
No matter where

The final curtain falls
All the audience's gone
The play has come to the end
Change your acting clothes
Clean up your face

The treasures of your inside
Do they really have a light?
The jewels in your heart
Are they rusting inside?

There are voices there always that are calling for you
Every time you're in need of finding something to cling to
There are choices there waiting for you
Everywhere, you'd better be prepared

Are your leaves covering
The highest top of the trees
with their green and sparkling gold
Or the soil below,
Crackling dead and gone?

Inside what do you feel?
The play of the leaves
performing next to your room
get the final claps
or leave covered in shame

Do you feel this emotion that hides
Are you strong enough to survive
This little whirlwind in motion?

Can you feel the pain that I feel
Do you see all things that I see?
It's all turning and causing commotion


Do you feel this emotion that hides
Are you strong enough to survive
This little whirlwind in motion?

Can you feel the pain that I feel
Do you see all things that I see?
It's all turning and causing commotion
