(All Noir) ELDER return today with the release of Through Zero, a record that stands among the most immersive and ambitious works of the band's career so far. Praised by the international music press, the album sees the band further expanding their distinctive blend of progressive rock, psychedelia and heavy sound while sharpening the dynamic depth and emotional weight that have defined their evolution over the years.
Two decades into their existence, ELDER remain an anomaly in the heavy underground - 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. Through Zero stands as a strong reaffirmation of their 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.
Recorded at Big Snuff Studios in Berlin across several months between tours in 2025, Through Zero marks the first album the band not only produced themselves, but also co-mixed together with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens. Mastered by Carl Saff, the result is a record that feels more like a full extension of the band's creative intentions than ever before.
"Through Zero" is a term borrowed from engineering and the world of music," DiSalvo reveals. "It describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While it isn't a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates with me on a conceptual level: the zero point is not an end, but a midpoint along a partially unseen path. Interpretation is open: the journey is the destination, beginnings and endings may be arbitrary, or perhaps reality is simply less linear than we tend to assume.
The songs on the album explore related themes that reflect my own observations and personal philosophy. Life and death, frustration and fear, helplessness and hope - all of these exist along the same "signal path."
