After triumphantly storming the worldwide charts with new album ‘Ategnatos’, the Swiss folk metal superstars ELUVEITIE are premiering an official lyric video for the track ‘Worship’ today.
Chrigel Glanzmann comments:
“Here you go with our second lyric video for a song from our brand new album ATEGNATOS! It’s the second part of the two-song cycle of THE SLUMBER and WORSHIP! A radical song with drastic lyrics on a severe topic: the ancient Celtic Sesroneos myth, in which our modern societies can and probably should reflect themselves as much as the people in ancient times could! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do and find some food for thought in it! Special thanks to Randy Blythe of LAMB OF GOD for an excellent performance!”
‘Ategnatos’ has entered the charts all over the world, including a #3 position in their home country, Switzerland and #11 in Germany.

Recordings of ‘Ategnatos’ took place in their beloved New Sound Studio with their engineer of choice Tommy Vetterli. “Yet it was radically different as we only had four weeks to record this time around – as compared to the eight weeks we had for ‘Origins’.” By taking mixing duties to the skilled hand of renowned studio wizard Jens Bogren in his Fascination Street Studios in Örebro, Sweden, ELUVEITIE returned to the very spot where they mixed their now legendary ‘Slania’ album more than ten years ago.
With ‘Ategnatos’, the dedicated nine-piece not only worked with a real string quartet (a premiere!) and granted Fabienne Erni’s sublime mastery of the harp the room it deserved; they also undertook a holistic upgrade resulting in some of the most catchy, most aggressive or most epic tunes the Swiss Metal nobility has ever offered.
