Im a huge fan for about 10 years now. Imho one of the most exciting and underrated rock bands in this world. I once ordered some merch and Nick directly signed it from his home to my adress. Can musicians get any more close to their fans? Running this rock band as well as the merch store at the same time. Wtf? The passion behind this project is just breathtaking!
You hit it on the head. There isn't a more complete package band out there. From every song being a masterpiece in its own right, down to the fact that they're literally the nicest, most approachable guys you'll ever meet, they do it all so perfectly. I thank the universe every day for Elder. Their music makes truly makes life better.
Right on! I saw Elder this year in Pittsburgh. I was looking at merch before the show and Nick was there telling me about his hot sauce! What a humble human being. And amazing hot sauce! Dreadnought and Ruby the Hatchet were amazing supporting acts!
Its as if these guys have entangled themselves into the very quanta of our universe-the gream ohm that created everything was entangled with these guys’ fingertips, and i think the fact that we are hearing it means we are operating at high frequency. I resonate so hard with this bands harmonics its like i enter the ketamine realm and time becomes but one instant and in that instant elder’s discography plays and changes everything, forever shooting us into a parallel universe- a much better universe. Thank you elder-much love to you all
@@Conways_Euphonia that's beautiful, how you describe the music of Elder. I whish we see us in an other dimension one day, stay healthy, keep on Rocking, good Karma for you my friend 🙏🤘🍻🍀🎊🌿🏵️🎶🔊😘💯👌💃🦋🍻☀️🌕🌈🔥🚬☯️☮️🔛
My wife's twin sister died at 45 last week. Everything about this week was complete shyte, except for this. The one silver lining in my week. Thank You Elder!
So sorry for you and your wife, hope both of you are getting the comfort and support you deserve in this difficult time. Glad that this band we love is able to give you something positive right now. Stay Strong, both of you!
One of the most staggering progressions from the self-titled Lp and ‘Dead Roots Stirring’ to ‘Innate Passage’ Entire record absolutely rips… One of the only bands in recent memory who can make a 12 minute tune not boring
As amazing as Elder has been before this song, (including so many mind-blowing compositions; Lore, The Falling Veil, In Procession, etc...); this might just be the best ever!! So much amazing compositional greatness!... so much beautiful interaction of Nick and Jack and Michael and Georg's creative personalities!... this is already super special Elder (which equals super special music by anybody...), it's almost impossible to perceive anything even more terrific...then again, this is Elder wr're talking about; a band, a musical collective that exists to exceed even the highest of expectations!
Already listened to this at least a dozen times, loving it more and more with each listen... so many cool connections and rhythmic shifts and pattern changes and reconnections... seriously prime Elder!
@@jasonanderson5980 for me I love the guitar work, but it’s that moment later on where that menacing bass riff opens up. THAT. FUCKING. ROCKS. 5:50. But the little bit before that is also awesome.
Just stumbled across this band. Having listened and seen Ozric Tentacles, Hawkwind and later versions of Gong from the early eighties it was a pleasant surprise to hear a band with lots of these influences and many others and with there own personalities in the music. Didn’t think I would here another band that would blow me away like this ! Well done guys 👏👍🙏
Absolutely brilliant album. Amazing songs. Amazing songwriting and musicianship. The bass on this song. LITERALLY the best I’ve ever heard. GODSPEED, Elder. We are paying attention. You are the cream of the crop.
Yeah, Jack's bass is seriously Amazing on this song! Kinda like a modern-day Chris Squire, but totally his own thang. He and Georg are an amazing rhythm section.
This is a great jam that has been on repeat all day. Getting 80s vibes for sure and love the middle session with those keys which is eargasm heaven overall great music cant wait for album release and those vocals 💥
As if I could not be more stoked for the new album. This RIPS. The musicianship, the way the band plays together, the power of the music itself...this is why I love Elder.
Discovered Elder last year, when i listened to this Masterpiece. They're easily in my top 5 all favourite bands rn. This is what music needs right now, substance, essence, soul.
F Yes! Christmas comes early! The next phase of Elder's evolution is upon us, bringing the epic of the heavens to us lucky fans... can't wait for the full album!
The vocal melodies are becoming more interesting throughout the years! I also like the fast arpeggios on the lead guitars, fits nicely. On the other side, I wouldn't miss the mellotron, if it wasn't there. Love the band, saw them live, and bothered Nick with my pseudo-philosophical questions at the merch stand. lol.
Then you must listen to “A Flourishing Fall in a Grain of Sand” by Humanotone th-cam.com/video/cHo-Fl2xwig/w-d-xo.html IMO they’re the ones who are covering that type of crushing stoner sounds mixed with progressive structures. Give it a chance my friend, you’ll not regret.
We encounter extraordinary stuff when we are meant to... So glad you are now a member of the Elder fan club; if you haven't already, please check out literally everything they've ever done, these guys are AMAZING writers/composers/avatars
I'm so happy you guys went off of the sensibilities of OMENS, and took it up a notch. I love everything from reflections and before that, and a lot of people do too, but I find OMENS soundscapes more warming, personal, closer to life and enduring. Thank you guys! Love from the 🇵🇭
Yeah, love this sound too! It's interesting... they're the kind of band who has a cool cycle and rhythm to their sonic evolution; two stoner rock albums, then two beautifully un-categorizable heavy rock gems, then two even more expansive and epic albums (including the one soon to be released, Innate Passage); each time, the second album in each cycle is a refinement and improvement on the first, even when you think they've achieved something beyond what's possible. Makes me almost salivate thinking about what's next...
Still processing this, but so far it sounds like another quantum leap forward for the Most Interesting Band in Decades ... hoping for tour info 🙏 I mean, does anyone tie a sprawling composition together with a neat little bow on it like Nick DiSalvo? EVERY time? 🤯 Not that I know of 🤔 (That said, consider Humanotone for yr opening act, dudes 😉)
I listen to Omen - my fav song is Halcyon - I have to look up the word...its a bird with a story that goes with it...I look out my window and see a bird pirched win a branch directly in from of me....he seems to be looking at me - I get out of may seat and walk through my front door - I have to investigate this strange bird staring at me...I walk to the edge of the canal - only about 20 feet from the bird - I look down at my feet and see in front of me - a blue and black and green feather - clearly from this bird. About a year ago a baby Kingfisher had knocked its head flying into one of our huge picture windows - We didnt know how to care for it so the wife of a friend agreed to nurse it back to health. Which she did, the bird flew away after about a month in her care. A Halcyon brings 5 days of peach and calm...at the price of losing the love of her life to a tempest at sea.
I'm struggling with Nietzche's Eternal Return idea - just don't get it....Suddenly, this new Elder song is out today - is Elder dealing with the same mysterious explanation for Omens (synchronicities)? Thank you Elder for synchronizing your releases with my efforts now to record and understand my life before I die. Wont be long...I'm 70 with heart disease...This is going to be fun....
Pete Pardo from Sea of Tranquility caused me to come check this out. So glad I did! Beautiful music and I found another great band to explore the discography:)
The progressions, the composition, unmistakably Elder. Another album that will get daily play in car.. then weekly.. then biweekly, then maybe a little bit less. But will never go away. Will always return. Still enjoy the other ones very very often. Fuck yes.
In celebration of their new albums pending release I just thought for fun we could post our ten favorite Elder songs 1.Thousand Hands 2.Legend 3.Halcyon 4.Blind 5.Spirit at Aphelion 6. Lore 7. Omens 8. Staving off the Truth 9. In Procession 10. Illusory Motion
Without any hesitation my number one spot goes to: Compendium. Just saw them last Sunday on their European tour with Pallbearer. I made the trip from Belgium to the Netherlands and damn they started with this song. What a BANGER. My second one would definitely be Sanctuary...
Just incredible. Yet another sonic pilgrimage to somewhere you recognize yet are baffled by. Really lovely and tasteful Mellotron washes here and there too. What a band.
After listening to it for a while, I think it's better than I thought after the first listen... but I was hoping, that this album would be much heavier than the previous ones... :) ... but otherwise it's great ... I'm Hyped! ... :)

Ordered a mastodon poster like 10 years ago and their guitarist Bill Kelliher personally mailed it 🤷🏻♂️

ELDER LITERALLY CANNOT MISS EVERY RELEASE IS FANTASTIC HOLY SHIT.
My favorite active band no one else even compares.
My wife's twin sister died at 45 last week. Everything about this week was complete shyte, except for this. The one silver lining in my week. Thank You Elder!
Sorry for your lost this song was a great day waking up hearing too.

Proof of the positive power of music. Hope your luck changes soon, friend.

Elder is the greatest band I found on the last 5 years.
A new Elder release is always a cause for celebration.
Best F*CKIN band in the world!!!!!! ELDER is new RUSH and more!!!!!! Just awesome!!!!!
This is what we want, what we need. Thank you, Elder!
Already on repeat, as you should with any of Elder’s songs, impressed with the vocals and the mix is killer. Excited to hear the rest of the album.
Ha yeah I listen to elder over and over and over myself
On repeat here. I’m tripping and I don’t even do drugs.
Already listened to this at least a dozen times, loving it more and more with each listen... so many cool connections and rhythmic shifts and pattern changes and reconnections... seriously prime Elder!

@@jasonanderson5980 same. A special feeling to be present during a bands prime like this.
Some old Genesis vibe here and there :) and fekin cool bassline by Jack 😯

The band that never EVER dissapoints. I needed this now more than ever.
This song is endless returning in my playslist. Love this band since the first time hearing.
Man, how I love this sound. One thing is already clear: the new album will definitely not disappoint. Can hardly wait...🤘
These rock GAWDS are bringing the musical fire like Prometheus to man.
Absolutely brilliant album. Amazing songs. Amazing songwriting and musicianship. The bass on this song. LITERALLY the best I’ve ever heard. GODSPEED, Elder. We are paying attention. You are the cream of the crop.
Yeah, Jack's bass is seriously Amazing on this song! Kinda like a modern-day Chris Squire, but totally his own thang. He and Georg are an amazing rhythm section.
I've only heard bass like this in Spires Burn 2013, aways changing and destroy!
My favorite band does it again. Elder mastodon ans Opeth have made my life worth living
This is a great jam that has been on repeat all day. Getting 80s vibes for sure and love the middle session with those keys which is eargasm heaven overall great music cant wait for album release and those vocals 💥
As if I could not be more stoked for the new album. This RIPS. The musicianship, the way the band plays together, the power of the music itself...this is why I love Elder.
Absolutely crushing it. Fucking delicious tiramisu of a song. So many layers.
Discovered Elder last year, when i listened to this Masterpiece. They're easily in my top 5 all favourite bands rn. This is what music needs right now, substance, essence, soul.
F Yes! Christmas comes early! The next phase of Elder's evolution is upon us, bringing the epic of the heavens to us lucky fans... can't wait for the full album!
Yep. Love it. Riffs, tone, pacing. Refreshing original music that's killer. Faith in new music restored. Keep it up my guys. Cheers.
🍻😉🤘

On the other side, I wouldn't miss the mellotron, if it wasn't there. Love the band, saw them live, and bothered Nick with my pseudo-philosophical questions at the merch stand. lol.
For me the Melotron just takes it to another level! I love that sound so much. To each their own I guess! 🤟
Damn instant classic, no surprise since Elder has not one song that is boring pass over material
Thanks guys for taking us on another journey, can't wait for the full record! Keep it up! 🤘
Hell yea, dude when this song dropped my head explooooded
That bass man. That’s a mean fucking bass. 5:50, so throaty. LOVE IT.
Crazy how this band's sound has evolved over the years. Always familiar yet new and very different
nostalgic news are coming!!
Hits right in the spot, thank you, Elder!
I am in complete awe of these guys mastery of their constantly evolving sound. This is beautiful, powerful, exciting, reflective, astral... Fuck YEAH!
🔥🔥🔥Elder is my favorite of all time pumped to get an early cut from the new album. Saw them finally in Brattleboro at the stone church. 💰
one of their first performances was at a stone church lol
se están poniendo cada vez mejor que pedazo de banda por favor! saludos desde argentina
Me suena q va a ser una mezcla de lore y floating con omens.. las voces se re vuelan cada vez mejor canta este muchacho
I can't describe how much I miss the old lore/reflections type production.
Then you must listen to “A Flourishing Fall in a Grain of Sand” by Humanotone th-cam.com/video/cHo-Fl2xwig/w-d-xo.html
IMO they’re the ones who are covering that type of crushing stoner sounds mixed with progressive structures. Give it a chance my friend, you’ll not regret.
This sounds like a refections track to me
Lore is still the greatest.
@@lbrax2407 thank you for this
@@lbrax2407 I have already listened to it. It's great. I just wish that Elder had stick to that sound.
Drums sound phenomenal, finally!
Vocals sound the best so far!
Creamed my jeans when the section around the 5:50 mark began, pure bliss listening to this music ✌
I feel like I can't physically turn it up loud enough.
I swear they're incapable of producing anything less than masterpieces. Consistently excellent. Can't wait for the new album! 🤘
Yes! They finally got the vocals right in the mix.
This is everything that I wanted to hear today! My ears have never been happier!
Great one, thanks for sharing guys! Can't wait for the full release!
Thank God, Elder returns!!!!!
It's a big YES ! Thanks so much! Cannot wait for the whole new record!
Elder.. please come to me.. Those bars after the intro but before the hard arpeggios.. oh yes give me my soothing moments.
Utterly captivating. Love me some ELDER
Great band,love your music and the way you evolve,just keep on rockin and come to Serbia sometimes to see you live
Why am I NOW hearing of this band.... Wow this song is cool

Feels good.
Really just can’t believe how great this this is
Amazingly epic as always! Their style refined at its best!
Thank you, Elder- I am very much down with this~*
listening to the Elder bass for the first time is like:
2013 - 🤯😱💀
2015 - 😱🤯💀💀
2022 - 🤯😱🤯😱💀💀💀

That won't be necessary - this song is the only song you needed to hear before you croak.
Still working on Schrodinger's Cat from Dark

Elder não decepciona. Impressionante!!

Please play this song in Manchester next month! I’ll be there
Elder's best album by far
Super hype for the new album. Preordered it today.
fantastic
Outstanding.
That is some sick riff 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Just incredible. Yet another sonic pilgrimage to somewhere you recognize yet are baffled by. Really lovely and tasteful Mellotron washes here and there too. What a band.
'Sonic pilgrimage to somewhere you recognize yet are baffled by' is the best definition of Elder that I've ever seen. Well done, sir!

Oh yeah
Another sonic journey coming from the best of the genre? If such a band could possibly be placed into a single genre? I cannot wait.
Great track! I did notice, do you guys listen to Windhand? They also have songs called "Halcyon" and "Eternal Return". Elder rocks! Keep it up!
