Swiss Song of the Day 🇨🇭🏛: I thought about the Roman empire already today. After all that's what real men do according to Tiktok. 🤦🏽‍♂️ since once is enough and I don't wanna bore you with what I learnt in Latin, you should rather listen to Eluveitie and what they have to tell you about celtic, specifically gaulish and helvetic, culture instead. As someone who was born in the mountains their Melodic Death/Pagan Folk speaks directly to my heart. Nowadays they have a more mainstream approach, but nevertheless you should give them a try. After all they are one of the few Swiss bands who actually made it to the US billboard charts, and as we all know that's a sign of quality music 🙃
