专辑简介
Elend’s purpose came into being at the beginning of the 90s, an ‘Office de Tenebres’, composed from a prayer of darkness. A prayer that in the Roman-Catholic liturgy is originally a cycle of 3 masses. These were called the ‘Lecons de Tenebres’ and performed during the last 3 holy days before Easter. The third part of the prayer is the darkest and the most desperate. Every one of the first three ELEND albums was one of these masses and the whole cycle led to a descent of extreme immense Elend (which the name comes from). The first album was dedicated to despair, the second much influenced by wilderness and power and the third by death.
Five years after the end of the 3 part Mass cycle, which peaked with ‘The Umbersun’ in the depths of extreme darkness, a new ELEND album appeared. ‘Wind devouring men’ broke the boundaries of the previous concepts for the first time.
Lyrically ‘Winds devouring men’ is based on a French poem describing an Odyssey (homecoming), combining personal themes with references to the classical poem and its variable new versions.
Musically ELEND have further developed without denying their roots. Bombastic sounds meet industrial noises and melodic strings. As well as leaning towards post romantic and ‘musique concrete’ (arising from the later music style like industrial). With ‘Winds devouring men’ ELEND present a piece able to evoke varying moods.
