Top 10 Best Eluveitie Songs

If you're into music that makes you feel like you're storming into battle with a war horn in one hand and a hurdy-gurdy in the other, you've probably already crossed paths with Eluveitie.

Formed in 2002 in Switzerland by Chrigel Glanzmann, the band started as a studio project before quickly evolving into a full-blown group with a signature blend of melodic death metal and traditional Celtic folk. They aren't afraid to pair bagpipes with blast beats or whisper ancient Gaulish prayers between guitar solos.

Over the years, Eluveitie has managed to carve out a lane that is uniquely theirs, combining heavy, aggressive instrumentals with flutes, fiddles, and historical themes pulled straight from ancient European cultures. They've released multiple albums, some sung entirely in an extinct language, and somehow made that sound cooler than it has any right to be.

The lineup has seen a few shakeups along the way, but the spirit of the band has always stayed true to its roots. It remains energetic, emotional, and soaked in epicness.

This list is your chance to weigh in on what you think are the absolute best Eluveitie songs. Cast your vote for the songs you think stand above the rest. There are no wrong answers here. There's just a whole lot of flutes, fire, and fury waiting for you to decide who takes the crown.

The Top Ten

Inis Mona

Very much glad that this song is on the top because this song deserves it. The music that Eluveitie makes is something unique and pretty amazing. Especially in this song, the melodic tone of the bagpipe, hurdy-gurdy, and the thundering sounds of the guitar add a ton to it. ELUVEITIE ROCKS!

Inis Mona is a wonderful folk metal song. I mean, the music is extraordinary. There are electric guitars being backed up by bagpipes!

Nothing to say, just superb. And most importantly, the flute. Whoa, mind-blowing. Mind-blowing. What a use of flute, what a combination. Hats off, boss, just hats off. Inis Mona is really the best.
A Rose for Epona

It's an awesome song with beautiful music and wonderful vocals. Every time I hear this song, I feel as if I am in paradise. I started loving this band after listening to this song. It definitely remains one of the best tracks I have ever heard in my life. Definitely should be in the top 3.

The last stuff my crush made me listen to almost leaves me in tears when I listen to it now. But frankly, the words are lovely. The vocals are just incredible. Love it, and it perplexes me to find this beautiful song at #7. Come on!

One of the most beautiful songs by Eluveitie. It has charming music that involves anyone. Perfect lyrics, so touching. And a lovely voice that matches perfectly with the music and lyrics.
Calling the Rain

This song is a masterpiece. Perfect blend of traditional (bagpipes) and modern instruments. Doesn't matter if I'm tired or hyped up. This song works everywhere.

Unique creation. Something that is great to listen to in all moods (sad, happy, angry, lively). Definitely the best of Eluveitie (my favorite band).

The beginning is just amazing with the bagpipes and the guitar merging together. Simply beautiful.
Thousandfold

A classic. It was made a single from its album for a reason. Amazing melody. I wanted to learn to play a tin whistle because of that song.

The song that got me into the folk metal genre. This should be up high along with Inis Mona, if not above it. Songs like A Rose for Epona and Calling the Rain are great, but they don't hold a candle to Thousandfold.

No doubt Inis Mona is the best Eluveitie song. But Thousandfold should be in third position after Calling the Rain. Siraxta is also very good. It should be much higher up in this list. Honorable mention - A Rose for Epona.
Tegernakô

A fantastic folk song with heavy metal! Definitely No. 1 for me! I personally love all Eluveitie songs, but Tegernakô stands out!

Perfect sync of instruments. Absolute masterpiece.

Such a beautiful track with an awesome feel as well!
Rebirth
The Call of the Mountains

I can't believe this is at 22! One of the best songs in the genre of folk metal. Beautiful, rallying lyrics with powerful music. Absolutely deserves to be in the top 10.

Simply amazing. The song that got me into Eluveitie, and despite being simple and not that heavy, it's still my favorite song.

A great song with Anna Murphy on vocals. Bombastic, uplifting, and everything that a folk metal song should be.
Slania's Song

This song is the best! It deserves at least the 2nd place. This song always makes me feel like I'm on the top of a Scandinavian mountain. HAIL!
Ambiramus

With the new album now out, Ambiramus has just driven itself into my head and won't leave. Some people may groan at its more pop-oriented structure, but honestly, it's just a wonderfully delightful song. It just makes me want to get up and dance. Considering that this is Eluveitie we're talking about here, every song makes you want to get up and dance, and that's saying something!
Slania (Folk Medley)

The Newcomers

Jêzaïg

Ategnatos

The Contenders

Epona
Uis Elveti

Very epic song! The instrumental part in the middle of the song is just epic! This is my second favorite after Inis Mona. This song should be second on the list!

For me, the best song of Eluveitie. I have no words to describe this song. Just epic.
King

First song I heard from them, and my mind exploded. I lost count of how many times in a row I listened to this song that same day. Perfect solo sync (violin-flute). Masterpiece.

This song is probably one of the best I have ever heard in my entire life. Such melody. Every time I listen to this song, it gives me goosebumps.

An awesome song with a combination of heaviness and melody in it.
Isara

It's as if the music is telling a happy story, but it makes you sad inside. Really awesome, makes the mood go up.

Epic song. Makes us cry inside. I mean, what a great intro played. My lord, it's just awesome, awesome good.

I listen to this at least once a day. It's amazing. Don't know what it's doing here in twelfth.
Gray Sublime Archon

Awesome. The song is so good and way better than Thousandfold. Should be a bit higher.
Quoth the Raven

This one is the best Eluveitie song! It will soothe your heart. If you hear Eluveitie songs and want to judge them, you must listen to this one, Thousandfold, and Of Fire, Wind and Wisdom.

Love the violin on this one, great song. Love Anna's growls too. Masterpiece!
Setlon

All of their folk instrumental songs are great, but this one just stands out.

You're gonna find yourself headbanging when you listen to this instrumental song. This is all I can say about this song!
Alesia

The perfect combination of Anna's vocals and death growling. I have never heard a more heavenly combination of voices. The music is completely out of this world. I fell in complete love with this song the first time I heard it, and it is my favorite song by Eluveitie.

I'm in love with this song! Masterpiece!

21! You have to be kidding me! Unreal!
Luxtos

Just amazing, chills every time. My personal favorite, but at least top 5.

Please listen to this song before voting. It's my humble request!

For me, this will always be their best song.
The Slumber
Deathwalker
Your Gaulish War

Ah, come on! This one is so far down the list. Insane! For me, it's the best one of the lot, including their recent compositions. It makes you feel emotions that you never knew you had within you.

This song should be at least among the top ten. This heavily deserves the top spot. Much better than Inis Mona. By the end of the song, you will find yourself laughing mercilessly.
Threefold Death
Memento

The music of this song is so awesome that I can't stop listening to it. It makes me tap my thumb.
Helvetios

A great opener to the album. I totally dig the instrumental intro. It's a shame the harmony of the instruments at the beginning doesn't work that well when they play the song live.

When I listen to this song, I picture a battle. A battle that defines history, shapes it, and then restores the very humanity to the warriors. This should really be in the top 10.

Loved it. The flute solo is brutal!
