France (1993 – 2007)
Elend is the name of a band from France formed in 1993 by composers and multi-instrumentalists Iskandar Hasnawi and Renaud Tschirner. The band’s name is German for “misery.” The music can be described as gothic and orchestral music with post-romanticism undertones, or simply Violent Neoclassical. They are often classed as a metal act due to the fact that in their earlier days, they were signed to a label that released metal music almost exclusively. In actuality, though their sound has sometimes been very violent, they have never been metal of any form.
In an interview with a French magazine posted in June 2007 on their website, Iskander Hasnawi indicated that the costs and difficulties of recording the orchestral music associated with Elend have made it impossible to continue with the Elend project. Both composers will be continuing with personal projects, including L’Ensemble Orphique.

I'm confused as to what the hell's going on with them - it was all too stressful for them so they broke up, then they got back together but have made no announcements as far as I've found about anything - I do hope they release more

Couldn't agree more on Winds Devouring Men; with such classics as: Poisonous Eye, Under War-Broken Trees and Newborn Sailor - but ofcourse all the rest.
