Musical style and influences

East Elysium's name was inspired by Friedrich Schiller's poem "Elysium".[1] It has a philosophical approach towards music and arts, emphasizing that sound works as a pathway toward spiritual enlightenment, and living music impacts the listener's soul, which is translated into their emotions.[2]

Band members

East Elysium members are Danilo Vuletić (drums, keyboard, bass, and back vocals), Vesna Anastasia Božović (lead vocal), Mina Simonović (back vocal), Milivoje Kljajić (solo guitar), and Anto Lutovac (rhythm guitar).[1][6][7][8]
