ELUVEITIE Begins Recording New Album

September 16, 2009

Swiss pagan horde ELUVEITIE entered Newsound Studios two and a half weeks ago with producer Tommy Vetterli (CORONER, KREATOR, VOODOO CULT) to begin recording its new album for an early 2010 release via Nuclear Blast Records. The follow-up to the acoustic/folk masterpiece "Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion" will be a full-scale metal album effort, and it will be mixed by acclaimed British producer Colin Richardson (BEHEMOTH, MACHINE HEAD, SLIPKNOT, AS I LAY DYING, TRIVIUM, KREATOR, SEPULTURA).

Commented ELUVEITIE vocalist Chrigel Glanzmann: "Drums and most of the guitars [for the new CD] are already nailed! And so far we are really, really satisfied. I mean, REALLY!

"So far, it is hell of a pleasure to work with [Tommy], engineering and recording the album! It's great to profit of his enormous experience (both as producer/engineer as well as musician) on one hand, but also to work and have a good time with him as a very likeable and down-to-earth guy on the other hand. And judging after how the so far recorded tracks sound, this album will definitely cleave your heads open!"

He added, "Some of the songs on this new album I began to write quite a long time ago, some others developed in a very short time during the last two months. All in all, I think that this album becomes our most dark and severe release so far; brimmed with mystical, convoluted and partly insanely fast Celtic folk melody lines, but at the same time with pure, juggernautish metal. The album's probably more 'metal' than any other release we did so far."

"Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion" was released in April via Nuclear Blast Records. It contains 15 folk songs, most of them written in ancient gaulish language.

The CD registered the following first-week chart positions:

Switzerland: #20
Germany: #60

ELUVEITIE last year announced the addition of Paede Kistler (bagpipes, whistles, acoustic guitars) and Kay Brem (bass) to the group's ranks.
