After announcing the title of their highly anticipated debut album last week, CELLAR DARLING, the much-hyped new band formed by ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, now unveil the artwork of “This Is The Sound”.

The mesmerising cover artwork, created by Christopher Ruef (graphic design) & Manuel Vargas Lépiz (photography) drags you right into CELLAR DARLING‘s mystical world of apocalyptic tales, heavy riffs and a captivating voice, ready to break the chains of your imagination.

The band also revealed the full tracklist of their upcoming album – an astounding 14 original songs amounting to a full hour of music. As if that’s not enough, the mediabook edition will feature 3 bonus tracks! Each band member chose a cover song to interpret in CELLAR DARLING’s own, unique style. The selection will be: ‘The Cold Song’ from Henry Purcell’s “King Arthur” opera, chosen by Anna, Tears for Fears’ ‘Mad World’, chosen by Ivo and the epic Queen classic ‘The Prophet’s Song’ – Merlin’s all time favourite. Also included in the mediabook 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.

The band states:
“The figure of the cover lures you into our world of stories and eclectic music. It’s a preview of the remaining artwork, where each song has it’s own own visual representation and symbol.”

Swiss folk metallers ELUVEITIE are putting finishing touches on their upcoming second acoustic record entitled “Evocation II”. After a release show at Summer Breeze, Germany, the band led by Chrigel Glanzmann will embark on a European club tour to present their new songs to the fans live on stage. Swedish modern melodic metallers AMARANTHE will be accompanying ELUVEITIE on their European adventure. The opening band will be the newcomers of THE CHARM THE FURY.

Chrigel stated: “As you might know, we’re in Tommy Vetterli‘s iconic Newsound studios at the moment, recording our upcoming album EVOCATION II! But the ‘tour bug’ already got us once more and we can’t wait to finally hit the road again. And so we’re excited to announce our European tour this fall – all the more as we’ll be in fantastic company, for we’ll bring along our swedish friends from AMARANTHE, as well as the shooting stars of THE CHARM THE FURY, who will open the shows!
And even though we’ll present brand new songs off our upcoming acoustic album, we’ll of course lay waste your cities with a full neckbreaker set! So expect nothing less than one hell of a fucking metal massacer! m/”

CELLAR DARLING are storytellers. They want to carry you away into their world of music, awaking the spirit of the stories our parents told us before going to sleep, the dramas of love, war and poverty in the hour-long acts of an opera – the adventures of the human spirit with all its mysteries and emotions.

After their split with ELUVEITIE, Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter reached out for new shores in 2016 and are now ready to let you see the world through their eyes with their unique and fresh sound, combining grand and heavy riffs, energetic drumming and a unique voice with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy and classical elements – creating something entirely new, while continuing the spirit of musical innovation they have become known for.

So prepare for a journey into the mystical unknown, as CELLAR DARLING are happy to announce that they have signed with Nuclear Blast records. Anna, Ivo and Merlin comment:

“We are extremely happy to be ‘back home’ after so many years as part of the Nuclear Blast family. They have shown continuing faith in us through difficult times, and we knew they needed to be among the first to hear our new music – and as it should be, everything else quickly fell into place. We are proud and excited to have found partners who understand our music and share our vision; together, we’ll make this year our year!”

CELLAR DARLING are currently working on their debut album, to be released in 2017. They have released a first single, ‘Challenge’, and a second song called ‘Fire, Wind & Earth’ in September 2016. Watch the lyric videos here:

In May 2016, ELUVEITIE shocked their fans with an announcement that some band members had to part ways from the band. However in December 2016, Nuclear Blast announced that the band arranged a new line-up but they did not reveal any name up to now.

Today the band has revealed their complete new line-up with a photo and the names of members. This happened just right before the band’s own festival, ‘Eluveitie & Friends’, will take place at Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland on the 6th/7th of January! At this festival, ELUVEITIE will perform with their new line-up for the first time!

eluveitie-2017

ELUVEITIE ‘s new members are  Jonas Wolf (guitars), Matteo Sisti (whistles, bagpipes, mandola), Nicole Ansperger (fiddle), Alain Ackermann (drums), Chrigel Glanzmann (vocals, whistles, mandola, bagpipes, bodhran), Fabienne Erni (vocals, celtic harp, Mandola), Kay Brem (bass), Michalina Malisz (hurdy gurdy) and Rafael Salzmann (guitars).

The band states: “Above all we’re super happy and thankful that we’re complete again (even more than complete, actually) and given the chance to have such gifted musicians on board! What could be a better start into a new year? 2017 is our year! We cannot wait to enter the studios soon and finish »Evocation II«. And right afterwards we’ll be back with full force to rock the summer festival stages. Cheers & sláinte.”

Alain Ackermann – Drums
Rafael Salzmann – Guitar
Jonas Wolf – Guitar

Only two weeks ago, folk metal superstars ELUVEITIE have announced that their new line-up is finally set! They have taken a lot of time with the search for new musicians and now they have designed a new website on which there is a countdown to reveal the new formation! New and old band members will be presented little by little with wanted poster, videos and interviews. The complete new line-up will be unveiled on January 1st, just right before the band’s own festival, ‘Eluveitie & Friends’, will take place at Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland on the 6th/7th of January! At this festival, ELUVEITIE will perform with their new line-up for the first time!

On December 15th, the first new band member was revealed: their new drummer Alain Ackermann. On monday this week, Rafael Salzmann (guitars) was announced as well. This was probably not much of a surprise though, you’ve already seen and heard him at many shows and many tours. But now we’ve got some special news again: Please meet & welcome to the ELUVEITIE family the new guitar player Jonas Wolf!

That’s what Jonas’ personal friend, the legendary Tommy Vetterli of CORONER says about him: “I’ve worked with Jonas in the studio a couple of times! I’ve seen and heard him playing all kinds of music. Even though his heart is a 100% in metal, it doesn’t matter what he’s playing – it’s always at absolute top level!”
