  • Nicole Ansperger (Fiddle)
  • Alain Ackermann (Drums)
  • Chrigel Glanzmann (Vocals, Whistles, Mandola, Bagpipes, Bodhran)

  • Michalina Malisz (Hurdy Gurdy)
  • Rafael Salzmann (Guitar)

The new lineup will make its debut at the Eluveitie & Friends festival, set to take place on January 6-7 at Z7 in Prattein, Switzerland.

Eluveitie formed in Winterthur, Zurich, Switzerland in 2002. It was originally a studio project by Chrigel Glanzmann, but its success led to the recruitment of a full band. The band’s musical styles incorporate characteristics of melodic death metal combined with the melodies of traditional Celtic music. They use traditional European instruments, including the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes, amidst guitars and both clean and harsh vocals. Their lyrical content references the Celtic mythology, particularly the Celtic Gaul village. They’ve released six studio albums to date.
