Eluveitie (SOtD MCDX)

Saw Eluveitie live last Thursday, in their Origins World Tour.
The Swiss Folk Gothenburg Metal band is in great shape. The violinist Nicole Ansperger gave a new depth to the music, and their guest Matteo Sisti ensures that their live performance has all the extra layer that Chrigel Glanzmann provides in the recording, but couldn't possibly do alone live.
The show was incredible, full of energy and power.
Here is their official video, for the opener song in the show.

Eluveitie - King

They really surprised me at how awesome they sound live! Tremendous show of a mature band, ready to conquer europe.
Here is a song from their second album.
