Yeah, they definitely have hurdy gurdy, along with various other instruments. When I saw them live several of them were swapping instruments constantly from all of the extra ones they had laid out everywhere. That was in...2009 or 2010, I think.
As the other person noted, they're from Switzerland. Their music is about a culture that was destroyed by the Romans (Caesar, mostly, who committed genocide and pretended that the people he killed were evil and barbaric because being a war hero was a way to get political power).
I would love to see metal bands based on Native American and African cultures, though. That would be pretty awesome.
Ategnatos is pretty good; I haven't really listened to the others, though. I assume the Evocation II is more folk without the metal like Evocation I was, and I haven't gotten around to listening to the one that came out this year.
How in the hell are both of those voices coming out of the same person?!?!? She's actually doing those growls and death grunts? Without some crazy sound mods??

Theres something about that kind of almost ethereal singing that takes hold of me. Love it.

I half expected her to grow fire wings there.

Man that reminds of Andy Wardle's version of Saint Sabbat... God that mini's amazing!

I make a similar sound when I step on Legos. But seriously this lady has some pipes
fiete
I hear a similar sound when I step on Legolas.

Damn, never expected to see Fabienne here. Nice post!

The call of the mountains by them is still one of my all time favorite songs
redbeard83
I've never heard this version of the star spangled banner. It slaps.
TsubakiTragic
That's a powerful instrument.
UncomfortableQuestions
Expected the final boss to appear.
daianaaaa
Eluveitie is my top band for e ver! but very surprisingly i don’t recognize this song.
ArchonIlladrya
They've been one of my favorites for a really long time. Absolutely love them.
SleepyHollowAppleTree
Thank you kind stranger, metal music with mandolins and violins and bagpipes and harps and flutes, say no more! https://youtu.be/-w2m-TeLi6I
circlebreaker
I might be mistaken, but I remember a hurdy gurdy in there somewhere as well... been years since I've seen them live though.
DaveTheScientist
You remember correctly!

Ahhh the Valkeries are coming for the fallen today...
seanmccorkle
Sounds like Balkan or Slavic open voice singing! Lovely!
UnlimitedTrickPony
the band is from Switzerland, it's Celtic music
seanmccorkle
I understand, but the full open voice reminded me of some Bulgarian and Carpathian singers when they use open voices.
seanmccorkle
Here's an example

saw her live a buncha years ago, half as tall and wide as me, turbo excited to perform.
problems with the speaker systems, she didnt need en to fill the hall with her singing tho.
webx9001
I love this band.
TanithRosenbaum
No idea who hurt her, but I guess we gotta thank them.
UnlimitedTrickPony
needs more diversity ... why arent there more African and Asian band members? playing the colon flute and Aztec death whistle?
Cornflakes91
time to form the unlimited trick pony band then
ArchonIlladrya
Maybe because they're from Switzerland?

How were the albums after Anna left? Worth checking out?

Any music is worth checking out

You must be a fan of Lou Reed's Metal Machine music
2074red2074
Ah, you are clearly unfamiliar with country rap.

Including Grant Macdonald
DrMaggot
Recent discovery for me. It's incredible. Not a fan of the death metal yelling parts but the songs where she sings are awesome.
pritolus
But the harsh vocals are the best part ...
Can't create the nice contrast without it
Anyoneelse2020
You might want to check out Illumishade. Side project for this singer, Fabienne Erni, which falls more under the symphonic metal genre.
ArchonIlladrya
They have albums where there's almost no screaming! Evocation I and II.
DrMaggot
Yeah it's the ones I mostly listen. Epona is my favorite.
daianaaaa
Slania’s Song is also very powerful
ArcUlfr
I love that song, but it does have harsh vocals in it. Quoth the Raven is also an awesome song; I love the way they did the vocals in that.
daianaaaa
Looove it! And Ogmios kills me every time, no harsh vocals, just her vocals
certainlynotaserialkiller
or get a woman that can do both (wait for it)
ArcUlfr
Anna had some harsh vocals in at least one of their songs:
https://youtu.be/CSgtx-fxYZc
I'm glad that I got to see them live before she left.
ImSynnical
Tatiana is such a beast the belt near the end of that song still gives me chills, and her transitions from heavy to soft vocals is insane
DaveTheScientist

Yes.
