Elder has kept themselves plenty busy in the past few years. The band released their album Omens in 2020, a collaboration with Kadavar named Eldovar: A Story of Darkness & Light in 2021, and just dropped a live album this year. Now they're expanding their catalog even further with a new record called Innate Passage due out November 25. Innate Passage is Elder's first record with a guest vocalist in the mix – Behrang Alavi of Samavayo – and according to guitarist and vocalist Nick DiSalvo, gets pretty surreal.
"This record channels the surreal world we live in from a fantastical point of view, not super-literally, and how we as humans processed that; everyone on their own passage through time and space and whatever version of reality they chose for themselves," said DiSalvo. "The phrase 'Innate Passage' appeared to me when writing the record. Passage and transition are necessary in the human condition and this process is intrinsic to us. All the growth and introspection we underwent in the past few years totally made this apparent to me more so than any other experiences in life so far."
While we wait for a new single, you can catch Elder on the road with Pallbearer later this week.
