When it comes to the more vivacious side of folk metal (as opposed to the more metal rooted style presented by bands like Primordial, Falkenbach and Metsatöll), Eluveitie are definitely one of the forerunners of the genre. Their brisk atmosphere which is backed by effervescent guitars and poignant rasps makes for some ridiculously catchy listening. Hate it or love it, their precise uptempo style of Celtic folk metal is yet to be replicated in identical quality by any other contemporary band. Then again, other bands aren't what threatens Eluveitie. In a rather bizarre manner, Eluveitie seem to be their own worst enemy, and a question that rises to the fore is whether or not can they best themselves after Helvetios.
