Swiss folk metallers Eluveitie, featuring Merlin Sutter on the drum throne, have signed a deal with Nuclear Blast. While being busy finishing up the production of \'Slania\' and working on their \'Evocation\' concept, the band still found the time to travel to Donzdorf in Germany for a few beers and a talk with the record label. Comment the group:\"Not only did they make us drunk as hell, but they also impressed us with a great artist roster, 20 years of incredible work (happy birthday, Nuclear Blast!) and their professional but still very \"Metal\" staff.\"
Eluveitie\'s new full-length record \'Slania\' will be released on February 15th, 2008.
While Nuclear Blast issues new material, Twilight Records will take care of Eluveitie\'s back-catalogue. \'Spirit\' is the first re-release, followed by the band\'s first EP \'Ven\' in Spring 2008.
Merlin Sutter\'s gear
Eluveitie drummer Merlin Sutter uses Tama Superstar Custom drums, Paiste 2002 cymbals, Gibraltar rack, hardware and pedals, Evans drumheads, and Vic Firth drumsticks.
