Winds Devouring Men is their latest, and by far the best album. The End sells it if I remember correctly. For starters, Elend isn't a metal. It's more like a mix of classical, darkwave and industrial with a _very_ dark and sinister sound. Really one of my favourites.
Minya (and others): To make your list even longer, I have one more suggestion : Tenhi. They have became the signature chill-out neofolk band of the finnish metal scene (and one of my personal favourites), even though their music has nothing to do with metal, and seems to appeal as well to other people, no matter what their musical preferences are. Their latest album (Väre) is a mix of progrock and "shamanistic" neo-folk with a long list of instruments from guitars and drums to flutes, strings, jawharp, didgeridoos and so on. The debut, Kauan, is quite different. It has more instrumental tracks and the sound is closer to neo-classical with long piano compositions and great acoustic guitar tracks. www.tenhi.com has some unreleased songs as samples, though only song that sounds like the albums (Väre) is the alternate version of "Suortuva". Tenhi has been available at The End as well.
