Waiting is finally over! Folk metal superstars Eluveitie have taken a lot of time with the search for new musicians to guarantee you the best possible line-up of all time and with the help of a countdown on their homepage they have presented little by little the new formation with wanted poster, videos and interviews. On the 1st of January, they finally announced the last new band member - so the complete new line-up is set! 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!

Welcome to the family of Eluveitie (at the picture from left to right): 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."

Only one week 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 (www.eluveitie.ch) on which there is a countdown to reveal the new line-up! New and old band members will be presented little by little with a wanted poster, videos and interviews. The complete new line-up will be unveiled on January 5th, one day before the band's own festival, 'Eluveitie & Friends', will take place at Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland! 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 Sunday 18th he made a 'live question & answer' for his fans!

Finally! Eluveitie is alive, complete and stronger than ever before! Because after the folk metal superstars had to part ways with some band members in May 2016, mourning and waiting is over: the new line-up is set! It was a long tramp for the fans as well as for the band to get there. They have taken a lot of time with the search for new musicians and now they can present the possibly strongest line-up of the band!

Frontman Chrigel adds:

"It's a great feeling to be complete again! We're full of zest for action and looking forward to enter the world's stages again!"

But who are these new members?

It is not revealed yet. But it will be worth it to check the completely new designed website of the band (www.eluveitie.ch) from the 15th of December, because there will be a countdown to reveal the new line-up! New and old band members will be presented little by little with a wanted poster, videos and interviews. The complete new line-up will be unveiled on January 5th, one day before the band's own festival, Eluveitie & Friends, will take place at Z7, Pratteln, Switzerland!

Is this the end of Eluveitie? Breaking news as 3 key members depart

6/5/2016

0 Comments

Eluveitie, the leaders of the Celtic-infused Melodic Death Metal movement are teetering on the edge of a potentially complete disbandment as three of their key members depart the band for different reasons.

Merlin was asked to leave the band, for reasons yet unknown we can only speculate that either the commitment was not as prevalent as once was or that something more personal caused a fissure to open up between him and the band. Whatever the reason behind his departure, he is not going alone as both vocalist / hurdy gurdy player Anna Murphy and guitarist Ivo Henzi have joined his departing demise in what some would view as showing moral support, others might view it as a betrayal towards the Eluveitie project.

This may as well be fuelled further with Anna posting on her Facebook page that "grave personal conflict lies at the heart" of her departure and that despite suggesting taking a break from the lifestyle, her "corresponding proposal was declined" and it seems that this is nothing new as according to Anna "essential decisions have been taken without consulting me or giving me the opportunity to take part in the discussion".

She went on to say that Merlin, Ivo and her have plans in place to start up their own band, whether they follow a similar path (as Stahlsarg did when members left Eastern Front) remains questionable.
The final shows that these members play will be the Fortarock Festival in Nijmegen (NL). But the band will play all confirmed future shows with stand-in-musicians (until new members are confirmed).

Upon releasing this news, the band supplied it with an official statement (a lengthy one):-


"With a heavy heart we have to announce that Eluveitie will go through another change soon. We have decided to part ways with our long-time drummer Merlin Sutter. In the consequence of this, Merlin's close personal friends Anna Murphy and Ivo Henzi decided to leave Eluveitie as well. We all developed a lot over the last ten years – not only as a band, but also as individuals. And we partly developed in different directions; different goals, wishes and ideas emerged. Over the last years we all had to deal with interpersonal challenges within the band. Instead of pulling together, our days have rather been shaped by wearing friction and constant clash of interests.

And thus we felt that we have become something we shouldn't have; that we've diverged from what Eluveitie was always meant to be – a band, a family, a passionate and deep-rooted group of musicians, where heart's blood can flow freely! Eluveitie was always meant to be about 'rock'n'roll', passion and also about 'carrying the torch' of the Celtic spirit.Yet over the years we have partly diverged from our roots, which is not good. Each and every single one of us is definitely a passionate musician. But in this group constellation, we seemed to rather cumber, than to inspire each other. The band has suffered from this for a longer time now. So we ended up in this painful situation where the mentioned facts have made it impossible to us to continue like this and we came to the point eventually, where we believe, it's best to go separate ways.

It was a terribly hard decision to make and it hasn't been done carelessly, but with tears and a heavy heart. We know that this is tough to handle – for everybody. And we know it sucks badly that things developed this way. Above the fact that this is hard to handle personally and emotionally, we are painfully aware of how much it also must disappoint you, our fans... which makes it even harder. We do not part from each others in hatred though. From our hearts we wish Merlin, Anna & Ivo only the very best for their future ways and also all the best of luck and success for all their further musical projects. For we're sure their musical journey will go on and it will be great. And maybe our ways will even cross again in future, in a different way.

For us in Eluveitie this now also means a lot to deal with. We do not want to look at it as yet another line-up change! For us it means to seclude ourselves for a while, to take the inward turn and to recollect. We will go back to our roots and become again what we once have been. We will still play the next couple of shows together with Merlin, Anna and Ivo. Their last performance with Eluveitie will be the Fortarock Festival in Nijmegen (NL) on the 5th of June. So you should grab your chance and come to one of these shows!

After that we will not leave you, our fans, hanging. We promise you to play every single show we have confirmed so far! We will perform with temporary stand-in musicians until our new line-up is ready and we promise to do everything to find the best possible session musicians we can! There won't be 'replacements' - Merlin, Anna and Ivo are unique and not replaceable. Yet we will come on stage with a very strong live line-up – this is a promise."
