Eluveitie has had one hell of a 2016, losing vocalist and hurdy gurdy player Anna Murphy, guitarist Ivo Henzi, and drummer Merlin Sutter. The band hasn't lost its founder, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist Chrigel Glanzmann though, so Eluveitie will press onward! More specifically, Eluveitie is currently writing Evocation II, which is the followup to Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion from 2009, and the last Evocation album.
Glanzmann says the album will be rougher and contain a lot more folk influences than its predecessor, and that he hopes it'll be out sometime in spring 2017.
