(german version below)



Hails everybody!

Some of you might have heard some rumours about it already... and it’s true, we’re heavily working on our new album!
Since since 2,5 weeks already we’re in the studio, recording our next sword blow. Drums and most of the guitars are already nailed!


And as yet we are really, really satisfied. I mean really! :) We’ve decided to record our upcoming album in the famous Swiss Newsound studios, owned and run by none lesser than Coroner mastermind Tommy Vetterli (also Ex-Kreator and former live guitarist of Vodoo Cult)!


And so far it is hell of a pleasure to work with him, engeneering and recording the album! It’s great to profit of his enormeous experience (both, as producer/engeneer, 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!



The album will be mixed by the british soundforge god Colin Richardson (Behemoth, Machine Head, Kreator, Sepultura, Carcass, Slipknot, As I Lay Dying, Trivium and many more).


And this brings me to the next thing to mention: Yes, after an acoustic release we’re thoroughly up for a massive metal album again! So “Evocation I” kinda became the well known “calm before the storm”.


Some of the songs on this album I began to write quite a long time ago, some others developped in a very short time during the last couple of 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.




So stay tuned!


I wish all of you some great and pleasant autum weeks! We’ll be back with more news in a while... but for now I have to go ‘back to work’ and prepare some angry and nasty vocal recordings.



Cheers from the studio

Chrigel

Einige von Euch mögen schon Gerüchte darüber vernommen haben… und ja, es ist wahr: Wir arbeiten kräftigst an einem neuen Album!
Seit gut 2,5 Wochen sind wir nun im Studio und Drum- sowie Gitarren-Aufnahmen sind bereits im Kasten!


Und bis jetzt sind wir wirklich zufrieden mit den Aufnahmen. Ich meine wirklich zufrieden! :) Wir entschlossen uns, unser neues Album in den renommierten Schweizer Newsound studios aufzunehmen, welche von keinem geringern geführt werden, als von Coroner mastermind Tommy Vetterli (ebenso Ex-Kreator-Gitarrist und ehemaliger Live-Gitarrist für Vodoo Cult)!


Und bis jetzt genossen wir es wahrlich, mit ihm zusammenzuarbeiten! Es ist grossartig von seiner enormen Erfahrung (als Engeneer/Produzent, wie auch als Musiker) zu profitieren und ebenso auch mit ihm als sympathischen, hilfsbereiten und „down-to-earth“ Zeitgenossen zusammenzuarbeiten.



Und danach zu urteilen, wie die bislang eingespielten Tracks klingen, wird dieses Album definitiv Eure Schädel spalten! :)



Das Album wird vom (zu Recht) angesehenen britischen Produzenten Colin Richardson (Behemoth, Machine Head, Kreator, Sepultura, Carcass, Slipknot, As I Lay Dying, Trivium und viele weitere) gemischt werden.


Und dies bringt mich zum Nächsten erwähnenswerten Punkt: Ja, nach einem rein akustischen Album ist nun wieder ein massivstes Metal-Album an der Reihe! Somit wurde “Evocation I” in einer gewissen Weise die berüchtigte “Ruhe vor dem Sturm”! :)


Einige der Songs für das neue Album begann ich schon vor längerer Zeit zu schreiben. Andere davon entstanden in recht kurzer Zeit während den letzten paar Monaten. Alles in allem glaube ich, unser neues Album wird das bis jetzt düsterste und herbste Eluveitie-Release – vollgepackt mit mystischen, ineinander verschlungenen und teils irrwitzig schnellen Keltischen Folk-Melodien, aber andererseits ebenso mit reinstem, barbarischem Metal!




Seid also gespannt!


In der Zwischenzeit wünschen wir Euch allen ein paar wundervolle Herbst-Wochen! Wir werden uns bald mit weitern news melden... aber für jetzt muss ich erst mal “zurück an die Arbeit” und mich für ein paar bitterböse Vocals vorbereiten. ;)



Cheers aus dem Studio

EXCITED! You guys have quickly become my favorite band. Slania and evocation1 together are tied for my favorite albums (depending on my mood). Followed closely by "secret of the runes" by therion. So you guys are awesome.

Nop. Well, we once had the idea of doing. But in the end it didn't really fit in well.

Love you guy's stuff. It's what got me into folk metal.
So you're style isn't changing into more of an industrialized metal, right? Still folk?
Cause I'd be upset if it changed into mainstream shit.
Good luck though, I can't wait.
Anna Murphy is kick ass on vocals and hurdy gurdy.
You should let her sing more often.
Thanks for metaling up my life,

Inis Mona and Omnos are my favorite songs by you guys.
Keep the awesomeness coming. Full force!

the last album was the most metal cd I have ever heard, and it was even ACOUSTIC! (metal of course lending itself to allow celtic instruments).  I know you probably weren't expecting this, but PLEASE include at least one song in an alternative acoustic form as well as it's metal recording!  I just can't IMAGINE how the Arcane Dominion (track) would have sounded Metal, please let there be another pleasant dance-esque track surprise!
Love in Minnesota
Michael
