Elder return with Through Zero, their fifth full-length for Blues Funeral Recordings, arriving in 2026 after a period of creative recalibration. The Portland band has long occupied a distinctive position in heavy psych and prog-rock, building expansive soundscapes that prioritize compositional complexity and tonal exploration over straightforward riffing. Through Zero marks a consolidation of their strengths: lush layered production, patient song structures that breathe and shift, and a commitment to pushing instrumental rock beyond its conventional boundaries.

Recorded over winter 2025–2026, the album unfolds across six substantial tracks that showcase the band's range and ambition. "Sigil To Ruin" and "Capture/Release" establish the record's atmospheric density and dynamic restraint, allowing synth textures and guitar tones to occupy distinct spaces. The title track "Through Zero" functions as the album's centerpiece—a methodical progression that tests the listener's patience before revealing its architectural logic. "Strata" and "Sight Unseen" continue the slow-build approach, layering elements with near-orchestral deliberation. Closer "Blighted Age" provides cathartic release without sacrificing the nuance that defines the record. Thematically, Through Zero grapples with introspection and transformation, reflected in a sonic palette that feels both measured and immersive.

This limited North American edition arrives on red and black ripple vinyl, housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket with full-color printed inner sleeves and a lyric insert. The package includes an etched D-Side and a digital download card, offering collectors a substantial physical object that matches the album's ambitious scope.
