Initially formed back in 2002 as a studio project by mastermind Chrigel Glanzmannm, the vision was to create a blend of Gothenburg styled melodic death metal with ancient folk melodies and themes that would soon become the 'New Wave of Folk Metal'. Now, more than 12 years on, Eluveite have established themselves as the most successful Swiss metal act to date. Earlier this year Eliveite made history as they become the first ever metal band to receive an award at the renowned Swiss Music Awards - the Swiss Grammy Awards equivalent. The band won the 'Best Live Act National' category, an entirely audience- voted award. Since taking home their Swiss Music Award, Eluveitie entered Swiss New Sound Studio to work on their sixth studio album, ORIGINS.
