Elder Sets May 29 Release for 'Through Zero' as Title Track Debuts

The nine-minute single signals a longer, more psychedelic strain with lyrics that face mortality.

Overview

  • The band announced the six-track LP on Friday and released the nine-minute title song to stream.
  • Through Zero arrives May 29 through Blues Funeral Recordings in North America, Stickman Records in Europe and the UK, and Bird's Robe in Australia.
  • Elder produced the album themselves, then co-mixed it with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens.
  • A summer run of European festivals includes Download, Hellfest, Graspop Metal Meeting, and Brutal Assault, with U.S. shows planned for fall and tickets on sale now.
  • Frontman Nick DiSalvo says the music explores impermanence and finding solidarity with the dead, extending the Berlin-based group’s move toward long, progressive songs that began after its Massachusetts roots.
