Eluveitie use both traditional Swiss and Celtic instruments alongside electric guitars and drums. Their music is known to be inspired by Gothenburg’s melodic death metal Scene and their lyrics are written in a mix of English and Gaulish. The name of the band comes from a graffito on a vessel from Mantua (ca. 300 BC). The inscription in Etruscan letters reads eluveitie, which has been interpreted as the Etruscan form of the Celtic (h)elvetios (“the Helvetian”), presumably referring to a man of Helvetian descent living in Mantua.
On 14 October 2017, the band announced via social media that they were working on a new album, and were to due to start recording after their Maximum Evocation tour. The band also revealed that they had recorded a single in advance of the tour, at Tommy Vetterli's New Sound Studio, entitled "Rebirth". The single was released on 27 October 2017, along with a music video produced by Wolfgang Wolman and Oliver Sommer. "Rebirth" marked the first non-acoustic record produced by the new line-up. On the band's official Instagram account, it was announced the new album is called Ategnatos. It was released on 5 April 2019. On 2 June 2022, the band released a brand new single "Aidus" along with a music video. On 5 July, the band announced that Michalina Malisz left the band on good terms

The lyrics to Eluveitie's song Omnos are in a language known as Gaulish, which was once spoken in ancient Gaul (present-day France, Switzerland, and Belgium). The song begins with the lines "Immi daga uimpi geneta, Lana beððos et' iouintutos", which roughly translate to "My days are young, my lands are vast". The singer then questions what they should do with their youth and land, asking "Pid in cete tu toue suoine, Pid uregisi peli doniobi?" which means "Should I settle in this village or conquer distant lands?"
The song then shifts to a more celebratory tone, with lines like "Aia mape coime, adrete!" which can be interpreted as "Come on, my comrades, let's dance!" and "Cante snon celiIui in cete!" meaning "Let's sing and make music in this village!" The singer also says "Indui uelui cantla canamos!", which translates to "Let's sing of our victories!" The repetition of the phrase "Vrit, me lindos dubnon, piseti" throughout the song is believed to be a rallying cry, with "Vrit" meaning "Forward!" in Gaulish.
Overall, the lyrics to Omnos can be interpreted as being about youth, adventure, and celebration, with a focus on living in the moment and embracing life fully.

English Lyrics:
Fear:
I am a fair, pretty girl
Full of virtue and youthfulness
The forest's flowers and songs I love
Hey, pretty young girl
What are you doing in the forest alone
So far from all beings?
Hey, pretty young girl
What are you doing in the forest alone?
Hey, handsome boy, come here!
Let us pick some flowers
in this forest together!
Now only the deep pond awaits me (x2)
I am not a boy, I am the bad wolf
In the woods I hunt
Hunt for the flower of your youth
Well, wolf, let us play a game
Let us dance a joyful dance
Let us sing decent songs!
I am not a boy, I am the bad wolf
In the woods I hunt
I don't like children's games
I like playing sinister wolf games
In the depths of the forest, with you
Now only the deep pond awaits me (x4)
Wild wolf, do whatever your heart longs for
But I beg you: Stay with me!
No, girl, I'm not staying with you and don't love you!
Never loved you!
I was a fair and pretty girl
Now I'm poor and overcome with shame
Now only the deep pond awaits me (x2)

En español:
Soy una niña linda y honesta
Llena de virtud y juventud
Amo las flores, y las canciones
Hey, pequeña niña linda
¿Qué haces sola en el bosque
Tan lejos de todos los seres?
Hey, pequeña niña linda
¿Qué haces sola en el bosque
Tan lejos de todos los seres?
Hey, chico guapo ven aquí
Y recojamos flores juntos en el bosque
El pantano profundo
Aguarda por mi
El pantano profundo
Aguarda por mi
No soy un chico guapo,
Soy una lobo feroz
Dentro del bosque suelo cazar
Cazo la flor de tu juventud
Bien lobo, juguemos un juego
Bailemos una danza alegre
Cantemos canciones de amor
No soy un chico guapo,
Soy una lobo feroz
Dentro del bosque suelo cazar
¡No!
No me agradan los juegos de niños
Sino los juegos siniestros
Con tigo
El pantano profundo
Aguarda por mi
El pantano profundo
Aguarda por mi
Lobo salvaje haz lo que quieras
Lo que tu corazón te dicte
Solo te pido
¡Quédate con migo!
No niña no te tolero!
No te amo!
Era una niña linda y pura
Soy ordinaria y profana ((nunca te ame ¡ ))

@gibson953
the coolest thing about music is that you don't need to understand the language it's in to recognize it is great
@zdf14
+ReverentGhost This comment though.
@whoselineCZ
+ReverentGhost except when it's rap
@huntedsoul87
Amen brother. \m/
@Kamilaxx7
+ReverentGhost Yup! And finally if you know what this song is about it will amaze you :)
@gibson953
Kamilax I listened to this song with English translated subtitles but it looked like a google translation, and the sentence structure looked really foreign, so I'm not sure I actually get what the song is about, yet.
@Jwitkowski1
For those who are wondering, Evlutie is Swiss and the language is Gaulish.
