Very rare 2008 numbered pressing with printed innersleeve

Coming out of a shadow-draped, magical forest near you, Switzerland’s Eluveitie follow in the boot-steps of genre-bending ensembles like Skyclad, Finntroll and Turisas, among others, who armed themselves with pagan themes and folk instrumentation in an attempt to push heavy metal toward unexpected new directions. 2008’s Slania is only Eluveitie second full album but its unlikely mixture of melodic death metal and authentic Celtic folk music already sounds remarkably accomplished, despite the seemingly vast stylistic gulf that separates their two chief sources of inspiration. Slania is the first one to include Anna Murphy as part of the band and it was the album that brought Eluveitie to the mainstream of Folk Metal and they remain to this day as one of the most popular folk metal bands, largely due to the help of the very popular song Inis Mona.
