Of hurdy gurdies, hamburgers, and Polish curse words | Michalina Malisz interview | Metal Exposure

An interview with Michalina Malisz of Eluveitie – By Sam Riffle (January 2017)

Swiss folk metal institution Eluveitie experienced serious upheaval in its ranks this past May, when long-time members Anna Murphy (hurdy gurdy, vocals), Ivo Henzi (guitars), and Merlin Sutter (drums) announced their departure from the band. However, Eluveitie has found a more-than-worthy replacement on the hurdy gurdy in Michalina Malisz, a gifted young player from Poland. Metal Exposure’s resident hurdy-gurdy enthusiast Sam caught up with Michalina in the backstage dining room at Metropolishalle Potsdam on the last date of the band’s Eisheilige Nacht tour with Subway to Sally, where they discussed Michalina’s transition from fan to band member, Eluveitie’s upcoming acoustic album Evocation II, and what the future holds for both her and the band…

…Metal Exposure: Anyone who follows your YouTube channel, Helvetion, will know that you were an Eluveitie fan before you joined the band.…

Lyrics:

Kónik zmók i Tyś zmók, i uzdecka zmokła
Stojałeś, wołałeś kole mego uokna
Stojałeś, wołałeś, nie chciałam roztworzyć
Musiałeś Ty główke na prózek połozyć

Kónik zmók i jo zmók, i uzdecka zmokła
Stojałem, wołałem kole Twego uokna
Stojałem, wołałem, nie chciałas roztworzyć
Musiałem ja mo główke na prózek połozyć
Musiałem ja mo główke na prózek połozyć

• The Circle Pit –

You may or may not remember the Lamb of Gurdy incident from last year. Either way, the brilliant Hurdy Gurdy musician going by the name of Helvetion has returned! This time ’round, she decided to tackle the Monuments track “Jinn” and to say she smashes it might actually be an understatement. It’s rare to see the Hurdy get so Gurdy. So get nerdy and watch one of the best covers you’ll likely see in awhile.

Beyond this, Helvetion has a wide series of Eluveitie covers that are fully worth checking out along with the aforementioned Lamb of God cover. You can find more and subscribe over on her YouTube channel by clicking here. All hail Helvetion!
