ELUVEITIE Plan Next Two Albums, DVD Release Metal Kaoz recently conducted an interview with Swiss folk metallers
ELUVEITIE's Chrigel Glanzmann, who talked about the 10th anniversary of
the band and their future plans, including two new albums and the first
Eluveitie DVD. An excerpt follows:
Q: So, you said you have a long tour ahead of you; what’s next or
you’ll wait till the end of this tour to see what happens next?
A: "I have sort of working on a concept for the new albums actually."
Q: Did you just say new “albums”?
A: "Yeah, for the metal album and the second part of the acoustic
one. I mean, it’s probably too early to say something specific about it
because this is the world tour cycle for Helvetios going on and that
will keep us on the road for a long time. And then we’ll start in
January next year and it will last till the end of next summer
actually."
Q: At least, do you know what will come first?
A: "Probably, the metal album. But as I said, it maybe too early to
say much about it since we are going to be on the road for like 7-8
months and then we’ll have a touring break to focus on new material. So,
it will take quite a while till the next Eluveitie album."
Q: Can we say in 2014?
A: "Something like that, yeah."
Q: OK, that’s fair enough. Last time we talked about a DVD that you
didn’t know if you’re going to release it, but you were thinking about
it; any update on that?
A: "We have decided that we are going to do one, actually just this
afternoon we had this discussion with our drummer, our manager and
myself about it. So far we plan to release it next spring but that’s not
sure yet."
Q: So have you filmed a show for this?
A: "No, that’s actually what we are doing right now, I mean we are
in contact with some filming companies and we are organizing like two
special shows in Switzerland that will be filmed professionally. The
thing is that we always think that if we ever make a DVD, it has to be
something special. We want to put a lot on it, not just like a live
show; there should be different live shows like for example a complete
Eluveitie show and a complete earlier show or something like that. Also
some documentaries, many things, you know. We just plan this and talking
about the details right now."
