Elend - Winds Devouring Men (2003)



This a the beginning of a new year so i guess it's time for me to give away my blessing for this coming Pig Year. You know that i like this french band called Elend quite a lot. As i consider these musicians to master their Art like no other, this album, which is one of my favourite, will be my token of gratitude and friendship to you!
Regarding the music, with this album, the Biblical trilogy is now over so it opens the way to new perspectives, especially regarding vocals. But don't get me wrong, Elend may play classical-inspired music, their ambiances are IMHO certainly on par with the most extreme ones, suffused with the darkest emotional content any black soul out there can create...a flawless and eternal journey into lands where the sun never shines...so better take your umbrella if you lost your horned helmet!ah ah!
