ELUVEITIE: Release The Music Video Of ‘Epona’

Eight years after melodic death/folk metal masters ELUVEITIE released their acoustic album “Evocation I”, the Swiss musicians have stored their electronic instruments again in the rehearsal room. “Evocation II – Pantheon” will be released August 18th via Nuclear Blast Records. Recently, the band unleashed their first new song ‘Epona‘ and provoked some euphoric fan reactions.

Today, they finally release the music video of the song! It was shot in and around the city of Avenches, in the Southwest of Switzerland. This city is, especially for ELUVEITIE, very rich in history as it was once called Aventicum, the capital of the celtic Tigurini (who were part of the Helvetii tribe) and therefore also the home of one of the most iridescent characters of celtic history: The mighty sovereign Divico who was brave enough to confront the Roman emperor Gaius Julius Cäsar! His actions often appear in songs from ELUVEITIE. The clip was produced by Jason Sereftug-Borruso (Writer, Director) and Alexis Gudinchet (Assistant Director).

„We’re super happy and proud to present you ‘Epona’ – the first single of our upcoming album »Evocation II – Pantheon«!”, states front man Chrigel Glanzmann. “The song is an ode to the riding goddess queen of the Celtic pantheon! And this not only lyrically. Also musically, for even though ‘Epona’ is an acoustic track, the song surges ahead with verve, power and speed and dashes like a galloping horse! It is a good song to give you a first glimpse of the raw, wild, honest, very folky and thoroughly celtic character of »Evocation II – Pantheon«!”

And to guide you even deeper into their world of “Evocation II – Pantheon” and the new track, the band recently also unveiled an info video about the background story and singer Chrigel explains who ‘Epona’ is.

The latest triumphant single release by CELLAR DARLING, the hyped new band of ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, confirms that CELLAR DARLING are a force to be reckoned with, and they are just getting started!

“’This Is The Sound’ is the kind of album you instantly fall in love with […] one of the finest and most beautiful albums that you would hear in 2017“ – 5/5, Heavymag, AUS

The latest single ‘Avalanche’ promotes their highly anticipated debut album “This Is The Sound”, due to be released on Nuclear Blast Records in just a couple of weeks, on June 30th 2017. ‘Avalanche’ tells yet another grim abstract story, painting a picture of the end of things. In band’s own words:

“We’d like to take you on another journey into a picturesque, abstract world. Listen to the summoners of the ‘Avalanche’. A story about a cult and a freezing end to an intimate deathwish. Shot in the heat of beautiful Tenerife, an intentionally contradictory setting, this video tells you our story with symbolism and movement, contrasts & metaphors. So sit back and let your imagination run wild, enjoy! “

Watch the amazing new clip ‘Avalanche’ here:

»This Is The Sound« is now available for pre-order and you can get their new album in the form of a CD or double vinyl. For a little extra, a limited digibook is also available. Get it here: http://nblast.de/CDThisIsTheSoundNB

Or pre-order the digital version now and receive ‘Avalanche’, ‘Black Moon’, ‘Challenge’ and ‘Fire, Wind and Earth’ as instant grats or stream the songs here: http://nblast.de/CellarDarlingDigital

ELUVEITIE: First Part Of Album Cover Revealed; First Single Announced

Posted by aliblackdiamond on June 6, 2017
Posted in: Int. News. Tagged: , , . Leave a comment

Eight years after melodic death/folk metal masters ELUVEITIE released their acoustic album “Evocation I”, the Swiss musicians have stored their electronic instruments away again in the rehearsal room. “Evocation II – Pantheon” will be released August 18th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Today, the band reveal the first part of the new cover artwork. The next parts will be released tomorrow and Thursday on the Facebook page of the band. The first single of the new album, ‘Epona’, will be released on Friday June 9th, together with the complete cover artwork.


“The time feels right to go on with »Evocation II«! It’s time for the album,” tells mastermind Chrigel, who revived the great concept after three successful albums in the usual ELUVEITIE style. “Evocation II” conjures another time travel to eras long gone. As the title already reveals, the concept of the first opus will continue and is entirely dedicated to the Celtic mythology. Even more, “Evocation II” takes you into the Gallic pantheon and bows down to the Celtic Gods after which the song titles are named. Anyone who will join ELUVEITIE on this journey will quickly notice that the character of each song is equal to the one of the God the song is about – and there is a lot more to discover!

Stay tuned!

CELLAR DARLING Unveil Music Video ‘Black Moon’

CELLAR DARLING, the much-hyped new band formed by ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, released a brand new single entitled ‘Black Moon’ along with a new music video. The single promotes their debut album “This Is The Sound” due to be released on June 30th 2017, via Nuclear Blast. ‘Black Moon‘ leads CELLAR DARLING‘s fans through an abstract, apocalyptic vision of the end of the world as seen by different cultures and religions all engulfed in a lunar eclipse. The music video was shot on beautiful Tenerife in very intense sessions.

“We’re proud and happy to present to you the first single from our upcoming album »This Is The Sound«: ‘Black Moon’!

‘Black Moon’ is one of the first songs we wrote after our debut single last year, and probably the point where we definitely “found” our sound. Ivo randomly called his original demo ‘Moon’ and that triggered the idea of a story based on the fear of a black moon… So, as a lyrical theme, we ended up exploring mankind’s tendency to add an apocalyptic interpretation to the lunar eclipse.

We’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in the scorching hot ‘lunar landscape’ of Tenerife: the talented Fabienne Fellmann and her fellow actors as well as AVA Studios and their awesome team!
– Anna, Merlin & Ivo

Watch the music video here:

In addition, the band launches the pre-order for »This Is The Sound« and now you can get their new album in the form of a CD or double vinyl. For a little extra, a limited digibook is also available. It features 3 bonus tracks! Each band member chose a cover song to interpret in CELLAR DARLING’s own, unique style. Anna picked ‘The Cold Song’ from Henry Purcell’s “King Arthur” opera, Tears for Fears’ ‘Mad World’, was chosen by Ivo and to top it all off – the epic Queen classic ‘The Prophet’s Song’ – Merlin’s all time favourite. Also included in the digibook will be an alternative and limited cover artwork plus an extended 32-page booklet, filled with the band’s notes on the stories behind their songs. Get it here:

01.11.   UK          London – Koko

The band filmed an entire little studio documentary that will soon be revealed bit by bit on CELLAR DARLING‘s Facebook page and Youtube channel, so stay tuned!

After their split with ELUVEITIE, Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter quickly realised their musical journey was far from over. What quickly developed was a unique and fresh combination of grand and heavy riffs, powerful drumming and a unique voice along with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy. This, combined with classical elements as well as inherited folk influences, led to the creation of something entirely new, setting Cellar Darling on the path of musical innovation.
CELLAR DARLING released their first single, ‘Challenge’, and a bonus song called ‘Fire, Wind & Earth’ in September 2016. Watch the lyric videos here:
