BAND BIO
Elenium was born in 1995 in the city of Vantaa. Back then, the greatest inspirers of the group were the domestic Amorphis and Sentenced as well as (slightly later) several newcomers from the neighbour in the west as the Gothenburg front was raising its head. The cake was frosted with some symphonic black metal influences from the cod state without forgetting the great world’s names such as Carcass or Death.
From the bands infant state and on, the influences were also sucked from various musical genres outside metal scene. Elenium’s basic idea has always been blending and combining backbreaking death metal to most beautiful painting of melodies and ever changing atmospheres. The dynamics is yet another key word in the group’s music it being everything between beautifully fragile and massively aggressive. The musical compromises have been dodged by Elenium, this causing both harm and bliss for the difficulty of shoving the band’s music to any particular pen. Some have even called this a commercial suicide. Suicide or not, the band has always believed in its cause and at the same time collected a loyal group of fans from all around the world.
The band has actively been doing gigs all around Finland and has played e.g. in Tavastia, Nosturi, Ankkarock -04 and even in Kajaanihalli of Kajaani. The demand of Elenium has also been growing abroad but so far the band has the foreign circles yet to conquer. This is not the matter of experience as all the band members have years of experience on stage where no blood, sweat and bad humour is spared… It’s only a matter of time.
As what comes to the band’s recording career, Elenium has made several demo’s and promo’s as well as they have released a MCD (This Side of Paradise -1998) and a full length one (For Giving – For Getting 2003). The later was released world wide by English Rage of Achilles that made a deal with the group immediately after hearing the breakthrough demo ”Them Used Gods”. ”FG-FG” got some juicy feedback all over. Euroope’s largest weekly rock magazine, Kerrang, introduced the band in its ”Hot bands you must hear” section and an American BW&BK praised Elenium as the renewer and saviour of death thrash genre.
Despite the over ten-year-path the band has taken, the members of Elenium are still young and there are many new paths yet to be taken. The 2007 release ”Caught in a Wheel“ proves that the adolescence is gone and this grown up unit shoots you in the face with no remorse.

HAILS FROM COVINGTON, TN. Thank u 4 requesting 2 b added 2 myspace friend's list. I hope that our friendship will continue 2 grow. Thank u 4 allowing me 2 b a part of your world of music. Should you decide 2 get a banner, plz let me know so that I may post it on my profile 2 help promote ur music and 4 future friends and people who come 2 visit my site. I saw both of your videos and was able to get familiar with all of the instruments including the vocals. I have got to say that the growling vocals were the first 4 me 2 see done in a studio. I loved being able 2 see the guitars being played, the solos with the guitars and the drums, the promo with Lonny by himself introducing his new awesome drum set. What a rush that was 4 me. SOUTHERN LIGHTS-This piece, 2 me is about ppl/persons who r in their own hell. Seeing, hearing the ppl's cries due 2 them burning. This person is hot. The water from the heat drips of this person/ppl's skin as they see the ashes who have been killed, burned. The aftermath of what has happened due 2 war, or what the ppl have brought upon themselves in the havoc that has been produced and this is all that is left; fire. Blood stains left on walls from the aftermath of war or what ppl have done 2 themselves 2 bring them 2 this place where their is no escape. They made their choices and now they r paying the price 4 what has been done or he/she. This was inevitable.Love the vocals, the guitar riffs, the rhythm of the drums.(I get weak in the knees for drums, my favorite instrument). All of u have done a great job on this piece. Continued.
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to!

It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a link to the video for a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
