History

edit

In December 2009, East Elysium was formed in Nikšić Montenegro.[1] The band was initiated by Milutin, Danilo Vuletić, and Vesna Anastasia Božović. Some of the band members live in Germany, India, and Serbia.[2]

Musical style and influences

edit

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

edit

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][3][4][5]

edit

East Elysium's album ‘Angel’ had a significant collaboration with Ivana Janković, Aleksandra Radić from Belgrade, Dov from Las Vegas, and Dave Norwoods from Los Angeles, also with Onur Hunum from Turkey, Akim Welsch from Germany and Bojan Dobrilović from Nikšić.[2][3]
