Elder are an ascendant American heavy metal group who take inspiration from progressive rock almost as much as from stoner metal and doom. The band formed in Marion, Massachusetts in 2005 behind singer and principal songwriter Nick DiSalvo; bass player Jack Donovan and drummer Matt Cuoto completed the lineup. Their self-titled debut album (2008) was followed by Dead Roots Stirring (2011), released by MeteorCity Records, and the breakthrough full-length Lore (2015), which was recently crwoned "Album of the Decade" by The Obelisk. Continuing to incorporate new elements into their sound, Elder added guitarist Michael Risberg and new drummer Georg Edert, releasing the album Omens (2020), which "answered any speculation about new directions with affirmation: evolution or extinction. Lush, intricately interwoven melodies grow and dissolve into spaced-out jams; massive riffs thunder down into a churning sea of psychedelic sounds and unpredictable grooves carry away the listener" (Elder website). Now based in Berlin, Germany, Elder recently opened for Tool on their 2024 North American tour.
