Progressive psych rock heavyweights Elder<\/strong> <\/strong>have released a first single, the title track of their forthcoming studio album \u201cThrough Zero\u201d<\/strong>. The record is set for release on May 29 <\/strong>in Europe via Stickman Records<\/a><\/strong>, <\/strong>in North America through Blues Funeral Recordings<\/strong><\/a> and Bird\u2019s Robe<\/strong><\/a> in Australia. Album pre-orders start today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “In a diverse album, the title track of our new album sits on the middle of the spectrum and is a perfect first impression of what\u2019s to come,” <\/em>says<\/strong> guitarist and singer <\/strong>Nick DiSalvo<\/strong>. “Dreamy, heavy, raw, electronic, there\u2019s a bit of everything that makes this album special to us. Through Zero is about impermanence, coming to terms with mortality and the long struggle to not only make peace but to find a sort of solidarity with the dead. The more time passes, the more this theme returns to me, and always in a new light – much as our music always returns in a slightly changed state reflecting who we are becoming.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The song is now streaming on all digital services:\u00a0https:\/\/indigo.lnk.to\/AoXUo1sF<\/a><\/strong><\/a><\/a><\/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 \u201cThrough Zero\u201d is a term borrowed from engineering and the world of music,” <\/em>DiSalvo reveals. “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 Pre-order “Through Zero” here: [Cover Art by Adam Hill]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through Zero<\/em> Track listing:<\/strong> Elder is:<\/strong> For More Info Visit:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/beholdtheelder.com<\/a> https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/elderband<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/elder.bigcartel.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.stickman-records.com<\/a> [photo: Leon de Backer] Progressive psych rock heavyweights Elder have released a first single, the title track…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[4969,1608],"class_list":["post-30050","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-elder","tag-stoner-rock"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30050","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30050"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30050\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30052,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30050\/revisions\/30052"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30051"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30050"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30050"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30050"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
