Elend is an Austrian/French combo of? Well hum? That's hard to classify this very original combo, and I could say that it's Gothic/Symphonic. Here don't expect electric guitars and this kind of instruments. In fact, we are rather in the category of bands like Chaostar. Something beautiful, but a kind of intellectual music very, very hard of access for the majority of mortals that we are. Read more ›› |

Just finished this album for the first time with all lights out. Don't let the bright-looking artwork fool you... This music is darker than night and just as elegant. This is music where words like "epic" and "atmospheric" really have a meaning. The choirs and cellos are almost violent in their unexpected behaviour. Then again... This applies to all Elend albums.
