On May 29th, Elder are set to release their new album, Through Zero, via Blues Funeral Recordings. Self-produced and co-mixed with Richard Behrens, Elder's master craft comes sprawling across six tracks expected to tower over and mesmerize listeners worldwide. Through Zero is one of self-reflection, best narrated through heavy riffs and meticulous attention to composition, as one could expect from the band. Elder always deliver, so consider this a noteworthy add to your Q2 listening choices.

Frontman Nick DiSalvo comments on the record:

“Through Zero” 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’t 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.

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 “signal path.”

Stay tuned for more on Through Zero in the coming weeks.
