Last month, folk metal icons Eluveitie came back with their new song Aidus, and today the band is releasing a brand new lyric video for the track. After the first video has already racked up more than 700,000 plays on YouTube, the lyric video now follows.
Founding member Chrigel Glanzmann comments on the approach to the song by saying:
“Definitely one of the harshest songs of Eluveitie ever. It’s the sheer consequence of our spiritual journey with “Ategnatos.” We’re no longer a “Celtic Metal” band… a metal band singing about celtic history. We’re Celts playing metal music from all our hearts. We’re no more a “Pagan Metal” band. We are metal music playing pagans from all our hearts, gashing principles of our modern societies with our ancient message like a surgical blade. That’s probably the best way to describe our new single. Deal with it!”
The band will be touring throughout the year and you can check out the dates below.
