First of all we go with some disclosure about the artwork of EVOCATION I - the arcane dominion (part one album of a two piece concept).
As already announced it is realised again by brilliant photographer/graphic artist Manuel Vargas Leipz (http://www.manvarle.com) who already was responsible for the frontcover artwork for Slania.
The Evocation artwork is not yet finished, but the frontcover is as good as done.
Evocation will exclusively contain lyrics in gaulish language - the very most of them being original texts, that have been discovered through scientifical excavations (stone carvings, other inscriptions, ect.)!
Lyrically, the focus of the album is pure gaulish mythology.
Accordingly the cover displays:
...hope you enjoy!
Cheers

First guest musician announcement!
We are pround and happy to introduce you to the first guest musician to participate in our upcoming acoustic album - none lesser than FREDY SCHNYDER from the musical phenomenon NUCLEUS TORN (www.nucleustorn.ch, www.myspace.com/nucleustornband)!
Nucleus Torn pass for one of the most remarkable, ingenious and outstanding Experimental Ambient Classical Progressive Black Metal bands - actually far beyond being classifiable. The Swiss band, signed to Prophecy Productions (also home of famous bands like Todesbonden, The Vision Bleak, Tenhi, Negura Bunget & many others) describes their own music like this: "Nucleus Torn performs music for open souls and open minds. "
In his band Fredy is in charge for diverse common and definitely uncommon instruments, from electric and classical guitars, via church organ up to oud!
On our upcoming album Evocation I, this multi-instrumentalist will contribute Hammered Dulcimer in one or maybe even more tracks!
Cheers!

And another guest musician to be announced!
Proudly we present: Mina the fiddler
Mina is a very skilled fiddler with long years of experience in diverse traditional fiddle styles (such as trad. Irish music, trad. Scandinavian fiddling and medieval music)!
She formerly played together with Linda (Ex-Eluveitie-fiddler), Meri & Chrigel in their folk band Branâ Keternâ (www.brana.ch), where she was in charge for viola and 5-stringed fiddle.
So, of course we are more than happy to have her on board!
On our upcoming acoustig album Mina will provide us with the deep and magical sounds of her 5-stringed fiddle in one or more tracks.
Cheers

A new guest musician to be announced!
Please put your hands together for none lesser than: Oliver Sa Tyr
Oliver is a very, very skilled and musically educated multi-instrumentalist masterly playing the celtic harp, keyed fiddle (nyckelharpa), bouzouki, diverse lutes and percussion!
He is well known through his formative activity with his band Faun (www.faune.de), which is one of the hottest and most innovative medieval/folk music bands of Germany! He also created a great stir with his side project together with Brigit Muggenthaler from the german medieval rockers Schandmaul: Sava (www.sava-music.com).
On our upcoming acoustig album Oliver will conjure up scintillant notes on his celtic harp.... and probably also on some other instruments!
Be curious!
Cheers

A new guest musician to be announced!
We're proud to announce none lesser than: Alan Nemtheanga
Alan is known as singer and frontman of the mighty pagan metal band from the republic of Ireland: Primordial (www.primordialweb.com)!
He is an absolutely unique singer and known for his enormously emotional, expressive and charismatic vocal art!
His melancholic and atmospheric way of singing perfetctly matches to the songs and character of our upcoming album. So we're more than happy that Alan will contribute some vocal lines on Evocation I!
Be prepared!

And another new guest musician to be announced!
We're really happy to have her "on board" once again: Sarah Wauquiez
Sarah Wauquiez (formerly Sarah Kiener  ) might not be an unknown to some of you: Until January 2006 she was part of Eluveitie as Annas antecessor! Today she's again with her former folk/mediaval band Schellmer˙ (www.schellmery.ch.vu).
Masterly playing hurdygurdy, shalm, crummhorn, zugerörgeli (swiss accordion) and other instruments, Sarah is a skilled multi-instrumentalist and developped her very own 'earthy', quaint and charmed style of playing!
We're definietly happy Sarah will play contribute some shalm, crummhorn and eventually zugerörgeli, as well as the gaulish lyrics for one to Evocation I!
Cheers!!

ELUVEITIE - [...]“Evocation I:…” FAQ!
[..] the band has set up a statement regarding the upcoming release of their folk/acoustic album „Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion“ which will be out on April 11th.
Mainman Chrigel answers a few frequently asked questions since there has been quite a bit of confusion among their fans about the musical direction of the band in the near future…
„Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion“ sounds very different than every other ELUVEITIE release so far. It doesn’t have much to do with metal, neither does it sound like pure folk music!”
"Yes, absolutely! It is a purely acoustic album. We had the wish of once doing an acoustic album for quite a while already - it came up in our heads already three years ago, actually. It seems perfectly obvious that the result of a folk metal band producing an acoustic album will be a folk album. But we wanted to go much further than that. We wanted to stay 100% true to ourselves and continue the idea of ELUVEITIEs music, even on a purely acoustic album: To portray ancient history, mythology and culture “in our own words” and music and to transport something ancient and primordial into our modern age. So we tried to not just display 1000-times-heard traditional folkmusic (much as we love it though), but to create some thing new: Our own acoustic music – still rooting in tradition and containing traditional tunes, but in our own version. "
„So, did you change your style of music now? Will ELUVEITIE be kind of a folkish acoustic band in future?”
"No, of course not! ELUVEITIE is fuckin metal and will always be! As mentioned before, we wanted to once do something purely acoustic. This is something that really challenged us. So, to us “Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion” is more something like a project. A project that means a lot to us though, we really love the album. But still we’re a metal band and our next album after “Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion” will for sure be a metal album again!"
“The album is entitled “Evocation I”. Does this mean, that there will also be a part II?”
"Yes. When we began to write the concept of “Evocation”, the idea came up to really extend it and to do a two-pieced concept album. Now we’ll release the first part. For the second part we will again take our time to write and elaborate it. Our next release will be a metal album again, as mentioned earlier. We are a metal band and metal is what we love. After a next metal album we will work out the second part of our acoustic project then."
