Das 10-Jährige Bandjubiläum steht an! Und wie könnte man das besser feiern, als mit einer Neuauflage  der ersten Werke (die EP Vên von 2003 und das Debütalbum Spirit von 2006), die die Band aufgenommen hat.  Zugegeben, das klang anfangs doch relativ unspannend.  Man denkt sich: “Brauche ich sowas?” Und ich muss sagen, ja, denn das Album ist nicht nur was für die absoluten Eluveitie-Fans, ...
