Elder<\/strong> have announced their new studio album, Through Zero<\/em><\/strong>, set for release on May 29, 2026 <\/strong>via Stickman Records<\/strong> in Europe and Blues Funeral Recordings<\/strong> in the United States. A first single and the album pre-order will go live at the end of March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two decades into their existence, Elder<\/strong> remain an anomaly in the heavy underground – a rare band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their own identity. Through Zero<\/em><\/strong> stands as a strong reaffirmation of their commitment to pushing boundaries in the world of heavy rock and cements the group\u2019s status as leaders of the pack in heavy psychedelic rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past twenty years, Elder<\/strong> have mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmosphere. On Through Zero<\/em><\/strong>, the band channel these years of experience into what may be their most immediate and engaging record to date, while allowing seeds from outside the sphere of rock music to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find familiar elements of new textures, sequences, and sounds alongside Elder<\/strong>\u2019s iconic take on heavy rock. As always, every spin reveals new details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recorded at Big Snuff Studios<\/strong> in Berlin across several months between tours in 2025, Through Zero<\/em><\/strong> marks the first album the band not only produced themselves, but also co-mixed together with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens<\/strong>. Mastered by Carl Saff<\/strong>, the result is a record that feels more like a full extension of the band\u2019s creative intentions than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through Zero<\/em> Track listing:<\/strong>
1. Sigil To Ruin
2. Capture\/Release
3. Through Zero
4. Strata
5. Sight Unseen
6. Blighted Age<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarist and singer <\/strong>Nick DiSalvo reveals:<\/strong> \u201cThrough Zero\u201d is a term borrowed from engineering and the world of music. It describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While it isn\u2019t a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates with me on a conceptual level: the zero point is not an end, but a midpoint along a partially unseen path. Interpretation is open: the journey is the destination, beginnings and endings may be arbitrary, or perhaps reality is simply less linear than we tend to assume.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The songs on the album explore related themes that reflect my own observations and personal philosophy. Life and death, frustration and fear, helplessness and hope – all of these exist along the same \u201csignal path.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder<\/strong> was formed around 2006 in a small coastal town in Massachusetts by three longtime friends with a passion for downtuned heavy music. Over the years, the band has gained a guitarist, lost a drummer, relocated (mostly) from the States to Germany, played hundreds of shows from small clubs to arenas across the world and released six full-length albums, four EPs and two live records. Though this pedigree isn\u2019t a requirement for anything, the twists and turns along the group\u2019s winding road to today might explain the group\u2019s refusal to stagnate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
