Eluveitie’s New Single “Awen” is a Catchy Song Rooted in Celtic Mythology
Swiss folky/melodic death metal outfit Eluveitie are back with a new single off their forthcoming album Ànv, titled “Awen”. Boasting a more traditional soundscape, the track pulls from the band’s Celtic roots, drawing upon ancient mythology to create a catchy as hell song in the process.
Speaking of the track, frontman Chrigel Glanzmann said “Awen” at times harkens back to some of the band’s older material.
“AWEN is musically perhaps one of the album’s catchiest songs… sticking our necks out on pretty modern metal music, at the same time with a chorus coming in with that very traditional, mystically melancholic, solemn kind of ‘grandeur’, much like older Eluveitie songs such as OF FIRE, WIND & WISDOM, SLANIA’S SONG or ALESIA. Lyrically it time-travels some fairly bold lines off that several thousand years old mythological text ANV is based on, into the modern age and makes them speak directly to us and our modern civilizations! We’re really happy with and proud of it and we hope you’ll like it as much as we do!”
Ànv will be released on April 25 via Nuclear Blast Records, but you can preorder your copy today. You can also catch Eluveitie live when they hit the road with Arch Enemy, Amorphis, and Gatecreeper. The full list of dates can be found below.
