Gebühren Two decades into their existence, Elder remain an anomaly in the underground rock scene - a rare band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their own identity. Their new record Through Zero is a strong reaffirmation of a commitment to pushing boundaries in the world of heavy rock and cements the group’s status as leaders of the pack in heavy psychedelic rock. Elder has long since mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmosphere along their path of music-making in the past twenty years. On Through Zero, Elder takes these years of experience and forms possibly their most immediate and engaging record to date, while allowing seeds from outside the sphere of rock music to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find familiar elements of new textures, sequences, and sounds alongside Elder’s iconic take on heavy rock. As always, every spin reveals new details. Recorded in Berlin across several months between tours in 2025, Through Zero is the first album which the band not only produced but also co-mixed together with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens. The album sounds more like a full extension of the band’s creative intentions than ever before. Elder was founded sometime around 2006 or so - nobody remembers exactly - in a small coastal town in Massachusetts by three longtime friends with a passion for heavy downtuned music. Over the years, the band has gained a guitarist, lost a drummer, relocated (mostly) from the States to Germany, played hundreds of shows from small clubs to arenas across the world and released six full-length albums, four EPs and two live records. Though this pedigree isn’t a requirement for anything, the twists and turns along the group’s winding road to today might explain the group’s refusal to stagnate. https://beholdtheelder.com/ ORB are a heavy-psych power-trio from Geelong, Australia, blending doom-laden riffs, fuzzed-out proto-metal and cosmic groove. Featuring members Zak Olsen, Daff Gravolin and John Zacharias, the band grew from informal jams into one of Australia’s most distinctive underground psychedelic rock acts. They debuted with the Womb cassette (2015) before breaking through with Birth (2016) and Naturality (2017), records that showcased their signature mix of Sabbath-weight, psychedelic sprawl and off-kilter melody. After a quiet spell, ORB returned with Tailem Bend (2024), expanding their palette into sun-baked psychpop and funk-leaning rhythms. 2025 saw the band self-release their first single with new drummer John Zacharius. "Mind Over Matter / End Times" is a catchy number which finds the band leaning into their early 60s rhythm & blues influences. With the single debuting on Seattle's KEXP radio, the band was then invited on to play a live set to kick off their 2025 US tour. Live, ORB operate as a raw, improvisational power-trio — loud, hypnotic and heavy without pretension. With one foot in classic hard-rock and another in the outer reaches of psych experimentation, ORB continue to evolve while staying unmistakably themselves.
