Eluveitie comments: "We're happy that today is finally here - we've been looking forward to this moment to share ÀNV with everyone! We're really proud of it. When we started working on this project, we decided to make a very real and genuine album, similar to our early works. And it was the case with ÀNV - 'rough' and brutally honest. And, at the same time, a quite modern and also severe album - musically reflecting its lyrics: sincere, deep, more present than ever! We are really proud of it and we hope that you love it as much as we do!
"And along comes - on this special day - our brand new single and video clip off ANV: TARANOÍAS! It's the opening track of the album and pretty much wrapping up the entire essence on which the album is based in one single song! It's quite a hard and dark track and surely one of these roller-coaster-feeling songs, like 'Rebirth' or 'Aidus', for instance. What we've tried when writing this track is to create a song that in itself becomes some kind of a dark entity that comes upon you with the first note of it! Enjoy the ride!"

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.
