Hell yes! Dude, all of Helvetios, and all of Origins. Don't even worry about a reaction video. They are albums that will blow your mind.

I'd like to request something a bit out of left field. If you haven't already seen it, could you possibly react to Christopher Lee's work in Metal. As probably the oldest person ever to enter the Metal scene, and with a life story more Metal than all of us put together, I think it deserves a look. That guy was a special agent, a soldier, survived a bombing attack and six bouts of malaria, hunted nazi war criminals, played Dracula & Saruman, and was the oldest person to win "The Spirit of Metal" award. Lee worked with Manowar and Rhapsody of Fire, and later did two albums about Charlemagne, from whom he descended, or with the holidays approaching soon, you could opt for his Heavy Metal Christmas stuff instead if you aren't looking for something too serious.

- So you play in a metal band ? - Yeah. - So badass ! What instrument ? - The flute.

I randomly discovered Eluveitie 10 years ago (god time flies) at a small local festival where they weren't even headlining And it was fucking awesome, and they've pretty much stayed my favourite band since then. Their take on the folk metal sound is just out of this world Don't wait, just get their entire discography and start blasting it, from the acoustic concept albums to their usual heavy duty sound, they don't have a single bad song

Eluveitie songs always have a heaviness and melancholy to them which makes them sound soooo deep and meaningful. I love it!

Christian has some of the best metal vocals in the genre, an absolute monster

YES!!! I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD REACT TO THIS GEM OF A SONG!

ikr, the violin solo here is killer

Therion is an underrated band, creators of symphonic Metal with Haggard. Therion doesn't even have a front man, The singer changes depending on the song.

Best band from Switzerland! Helvetios never fails to fire me up. I think I might know some relatives of their tour manager as well... it's a small country! If you want to learn about HurdyGurdies, their current player Michalina Malisz has a KZread channel where she talks quite a bit about them.

May I point out that the female vocalist of this era is the highly talented Anna Murphy, all our favourite female vocalist next to Melissa Bonny - who has recorded several duetts with Anna, on her project right before Ad Infinitum, called Evenmore. Highly recommended!

I was fortunate enough to see them live before Merlin, Anna and Ivo left to form Cellar Darling and it was awesome. Because they were not supposed to be headlining, but were because Epica had to pull out of the tour, they performed an amazing acoustic set that hardly anyone wanted to end. The violinist with them on that tour was Shir-Ran Yinon, she had been with them for about two weeks and sounded as though she had been with them for many years, absolutely fantastic!

I remember seeing them that tour too. Epica pulled out, and as I understand it their replacement for Calgary was The Agonist. Eluveitie’s performance was so…. So good

Love the older eluveite stuff never fails to get you going, gotta admit I,m a big fan of Cellar Darling too

I have seen them live twice out here in UTAH, and they never fail to perform. I love this band so much. The second time I saw them, they played an all ages show, and Merlin gave my daughter his drumsticks from that night signed by everybody. Of all concerts I have seen in my 45 years of life, I have never respected anyone more than Eluveitie.

They are awesome live... Bonus for being willing to visit Baltimore! So many afraid to come... yet we have a music underground :)

This was a pretty cool reaction video, very insightful!

I love that I got to see them live upstairs at the Worcester palladium super small stage packed full with all the members. Keep up the great content Tank

Loved the reaction dude 💚 Istg this band will never ever disappoint you, been a fan since 2015 & I listen to them every single day!

Tank! You were so pumped here! This song brings joy!

Your word at the end: that is the reason why I fall in love with Elu in 2008. Grow up with irish folk music and than fell in love with Metal.

100% I adore this band, seen them a couple of times and this band is amazing, the live performances are top notch. Simply awesome, always happy to see your reactions to these folks, spreading the word with your insight and enthusiasm.

I love Eluveitie, both with the original members and with the new members too. Fantastic reaction Tank, and some proper head banging. Great stuff. I see all the other folk metal bands I was going to recommend have already been mentioned below. The whole folk metal genre is awesome. 🤘🏻🙂

I miss when Anna was in the band i loved her vocals (perhaps i am biased because i found the band when she was in it lol) this band is always great though never disapoint! kind of like you tank never disappoint with the reactions!!

Awesome Tank! I am fully in agreement with your evaluation. Eluveitie are fantastic - and Swiss!

I have never heard of this band before!! but now I have and will definitely be listening to more! Folk/Celctic metal does the same for me, just draws you in everytime. Such a banger. Adding to my daily playlist right now!

Could be worth giving Arkona a go, they have a Russian folk metal sound of their own and a top vocalist

I think it's an easier music to understand and appreciate for people who just began to listen to metal too, with the melody, different instruments, etc.

Saw them live last year with Korpiklaani and it was phenomenal. Their live mix is brutal and you can hear every instrument perfectly

As Eluveitie is one of my favourite bands it makes me happy how they resonate with you. Eluveitie is one of my many reasons why I love Hurdy Gurdy and I actually got my very own Hurdy Gurdy from Michalina's (their current hurdy gurdist) own hurdy gurdy project!

Yes! Since the first reaction you did to Eluveitie, I hoped you would do this one :D Amazing song! ^^

Dude! I knew you’d truly enjoy this absolute banger!

I've been fortunate enough to see these guys 3 times in the states, and this song never fails to get the pit going. The second time I saw them they played their entire Helvetios album and everyone was fighting the Roman hoards along with band. The energy was incredible. The third time I saw them they played some of their music acoustical and it was awesome. Dammit Tank I miss live shows, this is killing me too.

What a song 😍 Thanks for the reaction & to the person who suggested this.

Was playing "molly ban" and other folk songs a few ours ago.I was and am still wearing my Elu Hoodie, whilest watching your awesome reaction. :D 👍🤘

This is one of my favorite Eluveitie song ever. Pretty much everything on their last album Ategnatos is worth listening to.

These solos are just mesmerizing, love this song

Annah Murphy the orignal clean singer/hurdy gurdy, that drummer and the strat guy left to form Cellar Darling

Tolles Video!! Lieber Gruss aus der Schweiz

Really enjoying watching your reactions for the bits of industry knowledge. Also great to see someone getting so into the music. Would be great to see your take on Verba by MOTANKA.

The lineup change mainly involves Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi, & Merlin Sutter, who left to form Cellar Darling. I think there were some others who left aswell.

I'm new to this but Holy shit! My fav punk is irish and I grew up with metal. What an insane rabbit hole I've been on! Ur reaction to this only helps to solidify this bands rank for me in its genre!!

Right up there with Eluveitie is a band called Ensiferum, which is from Finland, and has Finland let you down so far? I'm almost certain that Ensiferum will find a very special place in your heart since you like folk metal so much.

PS: wow.... you pronounced Chrigel nearly perfect ... I'm impressed ... greetings from Switzerland 🤘🏻

My most favourite song by them. Someone finally reacted to it 😍

Nice video, Tank! I definitely second some of the comments telling you to check out the album “Origins” on your own time (definitely a much better experience than reacting/listening stand alone songs. At least for this album). It is an amazing concept album telling an awesome story and it will transport you out of this world for sure. Perfect for a rainy afternoon 👌🏼 Cheers man

A band I have known the name of but never got round to listening to about to rectify that wow they're awesome

Yesssss more Eluveitie!!! Also Epica pls!!

That is my favorite song from Eluveitie! Have heard it only 3 times today, I´m ready for a 4th time ;)

Dude I have that same whistle. ALSO, check out the live version of King. Really captures the vibe.

Hey Tank! Nice reaction as always!! I consider reacting to someone you know quite well but not in this setup... Demons &Wizards: Fiddler on the Green live at Wcken 2019!! You may know one or two members of this band :) the ones Name is Hansi ;) the other one's is Jon (but I'm not aware if you know Iced Earth that well) Just watch it, listen to the lyrics and try not to freak out completely by the end of this song :) Keep up your good work!! Cheers

If you're heading down the Folk Metal path I'd love to see a reaction/gear rundown of Dread Crew of Oddwood. The video for "Dead Man's Medley" has some pretty decent shots of their gear.

So glad you love them. Have got to check out Slania (2008), its my favorite album from them. Eluveitie are excellent in Folk Metal (w melodeath influence), but please consider checking out some OGs from Ireland, Cruachan. They pioneered the subgrnre along with 2 other bands in the early 90s. Ossian's Return or The Siege of Kinsale will do nicely.

Dude , im getting a headache just watching lol😂😂😂 i already have one bit cant stop listening 😊

Loved youre reaction as always Tank. If youre interested in some australian metal give "Polaris" with the song "Landmine" a try. One of the heaviest breakdowns I heared so far. Have a great one

Oh, also get onto Brothers Of Metal, check out their songs Prophecy Of Ragnarok, Yggdrasil, The Mead Song and Njord.

Feel the same way Tank, they are extremly addicting.

Hey Tank! You definitely look like the guy, I'd go out for a beer with. Czech beer, acutally :D (I´m sorry for my bad English) Love your reaction videos :)) Greetings from Czech Republic

Glad you discovered this amazing band. Probably the most reacted folk metal band on youtube. Now react to Ategnatos with the beautiful ginger Fabienne

Don't hold back, go listen to all the Eluveitie. 🥰

my favorite is Call of the Mountains

What I have noticed between rebirth and king ist that you can exchange the drumbeat of King in the opening riff with the drumbeat of the main riff of Rebirth and it gives the song a totally different but odly perfect vibe.

One of my favorite folk metal bands has the lead singer also play mandolin, and of course complete with whistles and winds. They are called Valhalore and are from Australia. Only one album and an EP so far, but their stuff is amazing. Good place to start is their music video Legacy (not to be confused with the recently released Unleash the Archers song 😁)!

Hey Tank! Be amazing to see a reaction video to Amorphis- Silent Waters! It is my wife's (of 10 years now) favorite song and I'd love to show her! Awesome episodes BTW keep em coming!

Would love to see your reaction to Demons and Wizards playing the Fiddler on the Green live at Wacken last year, Hansi (singer of Blind Guardian) has such a powerful and unique voice.

Sprinkling in a few vids with recommends like you give Chase would not be innapropriate. Would be a way of getting things in that you just can't resist listening to.

Anna and part of the others that left the band are now in Cellar Darling, where Anna does most of the vocals. They're two albums in now and definitely did some touring with Delain (another nice one :), I never would have stumbled across Merel Bechtold and her work if it , who's been in Delain for a while. Not sure what the current state of them is but her album with Purest of Pain is awesome and she started a new project called dear mother, too) so there might be some actual life footage to react to, but they're definitely worth giving a listen to even if there isn't. I wonder if that tin whistle works like a regular register 🤔 That's the only instrument I actually managed to learn in primary school (I really am no good with any instruments, so... 🤣)

Hey Tank! Love your reaction vids :) I think you should check out King of Asgard. They did a lot of great songs, but "The Nine Worlds Burn" is a great place to start. Hope to see it on the channel - keep up the great work!

anna murphy was my favorite bandmember, sadly she left :/ but she formed her own band a while after.

React to A Rose for Epona by them. It's very awesome song & you will definitely like it. The song is from their album 'Helvetios' (2012)

If you review another...you have to do Inis Mona ...its from 08 but they close every show with this song and it has so many gear shots that you would be able to break down and the sound of it is fantastic even still in 2020

Cheese and chocolate again 👌🏻 Is it weird that I got hyped because I could feel through the fucking phone you're super hyped. Yes? No. Ok 🤣

I'd recommend reacting to Parkway Drive - Crushed, and then preferably a live show from their 2018 tour, it blew me away when I saw the song and the effects on that tour and specifically that song

Please check out Cellar Darling, it consists of 3 ex-Eluveitie members and I like it so much more, it's so much more haunting. Perhaps check out their concept album The Spell. ( the visuals for every song are amazing ) Edit: I see you have heard of them, no excuse now :)

My friend's band toured with them in Japan :)

YES!!!

Oh my gosh. This remembers me how much i miss Anna in Eluveitie -.-

I was at the last show of this lineup. Fortarock in Holland. Choose to see that show instead of AC/Dc with Axl in London on the same day.

Also Check out an Underrated folk metal band from Italy, it's called FUROR GALLICO....."Banshee" or "Canto d'Inverno" would be perfect songs to start with

Awsome stuff! How about some Mors Principium Est - Monster in me. No good quality live stuff from these guys but this one has a video at least.

I can recommend some cool early years song that are absolutely fantastic like: Tegernako, Uis Elveti, Your Gaulish war or Thousandfold.

If you like metal infused with traditional sounds, I'd suggest Whispered, specifically their strong "Strike" or "Jikininki". At the risk of sounding like a total Weeb; they're a Finnish band that uses Japanese styles and mythology as their base and I'd say it's done pretty damn well.

some songs for you: Ignea - Alga (official video has lots of gear) DOLL＄BOXX - Take my Chance (lots of gear in this one too) Kobra and the Lotus (any song from them) Turisas - Stand up and Fight Kontrust - Butterfly Defect (live from Woodstock poland) or Sock n Doll (official video is one of the most oddest and greatest videos ever) Butcher Babies - I smell a massacre (official video has gear too) Semblant - What Lies Ahead Like a Storm - Become The Enemy (there is dude playign digeridoo that is on fire, do i need to say more) Battle Beast - King for a day

Please react to Eluveitie's "Calling the Rain", and if you want to hear Anna Murphy (previous female vocalist) try "Slania' Song" or "Rose for Epona" or "Quoth the Raven". :)

Brothers of Metal have a music video shot in 360. Fire Blood and Steel. Its a faux live performance that gets silly as it goes on. With it being shot in 360 you can pan around and check out all the gear. Everything is really close to the camera. It's not my favorite BOM song, but I thought you might like the novelty of the 360 video. Plus BOM is great.

Oh maaaan, you have to check Waylander :) You gonna love it!

Sorry for the few views of your Video reaction to "To Mega Therion" and "Cults of the Shadows", It's from the father of the Symphonic metal Therion.

If you wonder why there are no original band manbers anymore, Chrigel talked about that in an interview at Beth Roars (I think). Its mostly because the band members were mostly (and partly are still) hobby musicians. So if all the traveling around and stuff become to much they leave the group without hard feeling from both sides. Especially in context of those rare instruments, there is mostly just a hobby behind it and this is an adventure that will come to an end eventually. I donßt like to see so much changing an a band, but in this case i became okay with it and see it as a .. characteristic of this band.

If you like a violin solo in your metal then you should check out Turisas.

YOU should really really do a reaction on Frogleap Studios . Best are "beds are burning", "Africa" or "all that she wants" Thanks 4 your vids. have a great time!
