Endura

Endura (often stylized as ENDVRA) was a ritual ambient band from West Cornforth, UK, active during the 1990s. Soundscape alchemists combining synthesizers reminiscent of Tangerine Dream with (un)healthy doses of Aleister Crowley, H.P. Lovecraft, and psychedelic drugs. Brought together by friends that were sure the pair shared similar interests, Stephen Pennick and Christopher Walton began a journey into the realms of ambient electronics in 1993. After two cassette releases, Hexe (released as AbRAXAS) and Great God Pan, the next year saw the release of their first CD, Dream of Dark Waters on the German label Nature and Art. Endura would remain silent until the summer of 1996 and the unveiling of three simultaneous releases. These three releases were The Light is Dark Enough on Allegoria, Liber Leviathan on Aesthetic Death, and Black Eden on American Red Stream. Their last release, the single Great Pan Is Dead was reelased in 2001. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
