Elend's sound tended toward the aggressive, containing harsh dissonance, screaming and growled vocals in a manner associated with certain types of contemporary classical music. Vocalists, spoken-word passages and occasional rock-like song structures lend the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
