Elder‘s new album “Through Zero” will be released on May 29th, 2026.
Two decades into their existence, Elder remain an anomaly in the Heavy underground — a band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their identity. Their new album “Through Zero” is a reaffirmation of a commitment to pushing boundaries and cements their status as leaders in Heavy Psychedelic Rock.
Elder has long since mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmospherics. “Through Zero” is their most immediate record to date, allowing seeds from outside the sphere of Rock to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find new textures, sequences and sounds woven into Elder‘s endlessly bombastic take on heavy rock.
The band states:
“We’re happy to announce our new album Through Zero today.
This is an exciting one for us – our first full length record since Innate Passage, which we recorded in 2021 and released in ’22. For Elder, which is now a band entering it’s 20th year of existence, this is a comparably long time, and we didn’t spend it idly. This new record is an encapsulation of lessons learned on our musical paths; it is a summation of strengths, joys, frustrations, idiosyncrasies.
“Through Zero” will be released May 29th:
In Europe via Stickman Records
In North America via Blues Funeral Recordings
In Australia via Bird’s Robe
“European audiences will have their first chance to hear new material live this summer. We’ve got extensive tour plans for the upcoming 18 months, so if your city isn’t on the list, keep your eyes peeled for more dates soon.” – Adds the band
