The new album Ànv will be released on 25th April 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. Eluveitie will hit the road again together with Arch Enemy, Amorphis and Gatecreeper in October 2025. All dates are listed below.

Eluveitie frontman Chrigel Glanzmann comments: "'Awen' is musically perhaps one of the album's catchiest songs... sticking our necks out on pretty modern metal music, at the same time with a chorus coming in with that very traditional, mystically melancholic, solemn kind of 'grandeur', much like older Eluveitie songs such as 'Of Fire, Wind & Wisdom', 'Slania's Song', or 'Alesia'. Lyrically it time-travels some fairly bold lines off that several thousand years old mythological text Ànv is based on, into the modern age and makes them speak directly to us and our modern civilizations! We're really happy with and proud of it and we hope you'll like it as much as we do!"

Eluveitie, formed in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann, have consistently merged modern metal with Celtic musical traditions. Originating from the Swiss Alps and deeply rooted in Celtic history, mythology, and spirituality, the band have become a cornerstone of the modern metal scene. Their debut, Vên (2004), set the stage for a unique blend of melodic death metal and traditional folk. Subsequent albums like Slania, Everything Remains (As It Never Was), Helvetios, and Origins solidified their reputation. The acoustic albums Evocation I – The Arcane Dominion and Evocation II – Pantheon showcased their versatility.

In 2022, Eluveitie released the singles 'Aidus' and 'Exile of the Gods,' marking a new chapter in their musical journey and thematical cycle pursuing the lyrical concept opened by their last studio album Ategnatos. These tracks were followed by the announcement of their upcoming album, ÀNV, set for release in April 2025. The first singles from this album, 'Premonition', and 'The Prodigal Ones' has just been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the band's evolving sound.

Over the years, Eluveitie have undergone lineup changes, including their latest addition with Lea-Sophie Fischer on violin in May 2024. Despite these changes, the band's essence and soul remains untouched. With nine studio albums, numerous tours all around the globe, and headline shows worldwide, Eluveitie continues to be a dynamic force in the metal genre.

As they approach the release of ÀNV, Eluveitie remain committed to their roots while exploring new musical horizons. Coming as one of their most profound and earnest albums, ÀNV presents a result of more than 20 years of intense involvement with Celtic mythology and spirituality, translating deeply pagan knowledge for a modern generation. Eluveitie's journey reflects a dedication to authenticity and innovation, ensuring their place as a defining presence in modern metal.
