Folk metal frontrunners Eluveitie have released their first new song in two years.
The Swiss collective released Premonition today (December 5) and have unveiled an official music video to boot. Watch and listen here.
Frontman Chrigel Glanzmann comments: “We’re beyond excited to finally open the door and unleash some new music!
“Premonition comes in laying bare the heart and soul of Eluveitie’s music, while transporting deep ancient wisdom of the Celtic into the modern age, wielding druidic words to point out the way through the deepest struggle within and all around ourselves. We hope you’ll enjoy this piece of music as much as we do ourselves!”
The song follows the two standalone singles Eluveitie put out in 2022, Aidus and Exile Of The Gods. The band haven’t put out a full-length album since Ategnatos in 2019, but say that they will release their next record in 2025. It will be their first studio release featuring new member Lea-Sophie Fischer, who replaces recent departees Nicole Ansperger on violin and Annie Riediger on hurdy-gurdy.
As well as releasing a new album, Eluveitie will be busy on the road in 2025. The band will embark on a headline tour of mainland Europe in January, supported by Infected Rain and Ad Infinitum. In October, they’ll trek across the continent again, this time supporting Arch Enemy and also hitting the UK. Fellow folk metal beloveds Amorphis and rising death metal act Gatecreeper round out the package.
