Organizers have issued the following update:
"The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that Swiss death/folk metallers ELUVEITIE have been added to the bill for Bloodstock Open Air 2008.The band were formed by Chrigel Glanzmann in 2002 as a studio-project and recorded their first EP Vên the following year. In 2004, Eluveitie signed to Dutch label Fear Dark Records who issued a re-mastered and partly re-recorded version of Vên, which the band promoted through gigs with outfits such as CRUACHAN, KORPIKLAANI and SKYFORGER. In late 2005, they entered the studio to lay down their first full-length album Spirit, also for Fear Dark Records. Released in 2006, the album represented a big step forward for the band and helped them to land a deal with Nuclear Blast records for the release of their next album Slania which is expected on February 15th, 2008.
Blending the atmospheres and themes of Pagan metal with modern melodic death metal, Eluveitie look set to take their place among the pantheon of Pagan metal’s elite."
