Comented ELUVIETIE vocalist Christian "Chrigel" Glanzmann: "'The Early Years' will give both old and new fans access to the very first steps in ELUVEITIE's history. I can't believe it's been 10 years already! Speaking of that, to celebrate our 10-year anniversary (2002-2012) we wanted to offer you something special. Therefore we have decided to re-record the tracks of our first EP, 'Vên'! We had a lot of fun putting those songs on tape again — some of which we have been playing live to this day and that have developed together with us over all these years."
