There are two bands playing under the same name:

1. 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.

    Bad news about the Finnish Elenium guys. I was talking with the singer J in Glasgow, he also sings in Omnium Gatherum who was touring there. He said that Elenium currently doesn't really have activity and things don't seem to get more active in the future. All kinds of problems have really shadowed Elenium since the beginning and now at least J seemed to be giving up the project. He even said: "Everything in its time". Seemingly he thinks time has passed Elenium. Anyway, I really hope Im wrong at least partially...
