Elder
LP (1-sided with etching) + DL
Stickman Records / Psychobabble 140
While meeting in Berlin for a songwriting session for the band’s upcoming album, jamming on an old track turned into a spontaneous recording project. The result birthed a single 18-minute long song which bridges eras in Elder’s creative universe; one foot is planted in the highly melodic and sometimes alternative/grunge tinged riffing of Omens, the other in Innate Passage‘s dreamy prog soundscapes, and its head in the clouds looking toward Elder’s upcoming LP 7 (anticipated early 2026).
180 gr. translucent LP with music on side A and an etching on side B. Download card included.

LP (colored vinyl)
RRR004 / Robotor Records
Back in stock! “From Blue Within” blue and black swirl vinyl, limited to 300 copies.
In the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown in Germany, Elder’s Berlin-based contingency teamed up with local heroes Kadavar for a weekend to make some noise. What began as an idea to just jam with a “let’s-see-what-happens!” mentality became a trip on its own, and after months of digging through jam sessions, writing and re-writing parts and developing a plan not just for an improvised record but for a true concept album, the bands have released their joint effort.

Elder
2LP (white) / CD
Psychobabble 127 / Stickman Records
Innate Passage is the sixth Elder full-length. It finds the mostly-Berlin-based band in the post-pandemic era as veterans at the forefront of a league of progressive and heavy groups working in large part under their influence; a stately presence as reliably forward-thinking as they are unpredictable in sound.
The vinyl version comes as a deluxe 2LP on 180gr. white vinyl housed in a custom die-cut outer sleeve with interchangeable album art and download code.
