Elder – “Liminality” & “Dream State Return”

Elder have been making spaced-out, psychedelic doom metal for nearly 20 years, which means their name is now entirely accurate. The band started in Massachusetts, but they’re based in Berlin these days. Elder took what the band describes as a “sabbatical” when they finished touring behind 2022’s Innate Passage, their most recent album. When they got back together, they attempted to clear out the cobwebs by working on a few fragments of music that they wrote in the time before Innate Passage. Those fragments grew into a new thing, and now Elder are releasing them as an expansive 12″ single.
