If you're looking for a folk metal song to get stuck deep within the crevaces of your brain today, look no further than Eluveitie's new single "The Prodigal Ones". It's heavy, it's got a catchy chorus, and it's actually got a pretty beefy breakdown in the second half. What's not to love? "The Prodigal Ones" comes from Eluveitie's upcoming record Ànv, due out March 25. Pre-orders are available here.
"Hard to express how excited we are to share this one with you all!" wrote Eluveitie frontman Chrigel Glanzmann. "Musically combining the heavy pounding Elu classics like 'Luxtos', 'Inis Mona' or even 'King' with some new, maybe unexpected ideas, we feel that this song most of all comes like a punch in the face and we hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do! Lyrically it actually opens the big theme of ANV – these ancient words, several thousands of years old, our upcoming album is based on…"
