For a virtually unknown Swiss folk band boasting 8 members who play a variety of unique and traditional instruments, their ascent has been a quick and rather unexpected one. This album of traditional folk songs written in an ancient Gaulish language is an experimental foray into unprecedented worlds and will precede their next proper full-length! Review: One-of-a-kind Gaulish beauty - No other album is anything like this. Eluveitie's other albums don't have the same kind of sound, because this one is exclusively acoustic; more to the point, nobody else has set ancient Gaulish language texts to music. It's a brilliant idea, and Eluveitie would deserve credit for trying it even if the music were only so-so. Let me be clear: The music is excellent. I've played this for friends, and they thought it was wonderful before they had any idea of the back story. It's folk fusion from a metal band that knows how to rock. Some of the musical interpretations of the texts are a bit surprising. The 'beliassu sete' love letter (?) of Châteaubleau Tile 16 is way less aggressive, at least as P.-Y. Lambert renders it, than the piece Eluveitie wrote ("Nata"); conversely, the Larzac curse-tablet 'inside brictom' gives rise to two songs, of which "A Girl's Oath" is too intimate and "Brictom" too joyful for a text that counter-curses suspected witches. On the other hand, I can't imagine a musical setting more perfect for the Chamalières curse-tablet 'andedion diíiuion' than the haunting "Dessumiis Luge". All of the songs that I've named, however, are beautiful, as are the instrumental pieces and "Na Regv Na". This album is right where music meets historical linguistics and archaeology, and the result is sublime. Fingers crossed for an Evocation II! Review: GIve it a Try - I saw this group live last week and started with ear plugs because they were the third group and my head was aching. But I had to pull out the ear plugs once I heard their first song - this is a rare and amazingly talented group that deserves a listen by anyone curious about death metal, celtic music, and the like. The growling took some getting used to when my son first exposed me to this genre but now I can't get enough of it, especielly because of this group. Give it a try - everyone seems to think Slania is their best so maybe give that a try first, but you won't be disappointed in any of their CDs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001SWGOP4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #111,923 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #496 in Progressive Metal #624 in Death Metal (CDs & Vinyl) #1,342 in Pop Metal (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (161) | | Date First Available | March 6, 2009 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 82 3 00000541 | | Label | Nuclear Blast | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Nuclear Blast | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2009 | | Product Dimensions | 5.59 x 4.98 x 0.4 inches; 3.68 ounces | ## Images ![Evocation I - The Arcane Domin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PuOT8wqEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One-of-a-kind Gaulish beauty *by O***K on October 10, 2012* No other album is anything like this.

I truly adored it at first and still find it to a phenomenal album. I've just found a couple groups to have a better interpretation than Eluveitie in my opinion. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/7258066-evocation-i-the-arcane-domin](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/7258066-evocation-i-the-arcane-domin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
