Élan Vital

There are at least 2 bands known as Élan Vital:
1. A metalcore band started by Dakota Alvarez of Hollow Front.
2. A band formed in 2015 at artist-run creative community None Gallery in Dunedin, New Zealand, consisting of Renee Barrance, Danny Brady and Nikolai Sim. Their sound takes contemporary European cold-wave synth-pop dance music layered on analogue drum machines, then blends in the warm psychedelic organ sounds of 1960s garage rock. Distorted, overdriven bass guitar adds a further element of chaos into the mix.
