Anaheim's Elixir have been keeping the power metal flame burning in Southern California since 2008, dealing in soaring vocals, galloping double bass, and anthemic choruses built for arenas but honed in clubs.
Elixir is a heavy metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 2007, featuring guitarist Fernando Conde and drummer Guillermo Venuto (since 2010) among their core members. The band has released three albums: Los sueños vivirán (2011), Ancestral (2015), and Nuevo mundo artificial (2020), building a consistent presence in the Argentine metal scene over more than a decade.
