Eluveitie - Slania (iTunes Version)
Coming out of a shadow-draped, magical forest near you, Switzerland's Eluveitie follow in the boot-steps of genre-bending ensembles like Skyclad, Finntroll and Turisas, among others, who armed themselves with pagan themes and folk instrumentation in an attempt to push heavy metal toward unexpected new directions. 2008's Slania is only Eluveitie second full album (and first for Nuclear Blast), but its unlikely mixture of melodic death metal and authentic Celtic folk music already sounds remarkably accomplished, despite the seemingly vast stylistic gulf that separates their two chief sources of inspiration. Then again, Eluveitie rarely stick out their collective songwriting neck so recklessly as to tempt the falling axe of artificial inter-genre crossbreeding. Rather, the octet roots typical songs like "Primordial Breath," "Bloodstained Ground," and "Calling the Rain"...
