Elder have a new album called Omens out on April 24th. New track just posted, sounds like they're going full prog rock for this one,

Yea, just had my first listen. Been waiting for this since their last album (which was a masterpiece)
It's sounds a little lighter and proggier for sure, it'll need a few listens to bed in....
This has just gone up on their bandcamp to listen to, sounds good on first listen, the single isn't a good indicator for the tone of the rest of the album I think most fans will be happy to hear.

Gave it a go this morning. Musically it's savage, really well put together, perfect production for the style, all around excellent. But those vocals are bad. There was still some edge left to his style on Lore but that has gone out the window entirely and they just don't sit right with the music for me at all. I hardly expected him to be roaring, mind, but these are very weak and overly melodic, and turn the whole lush combo of stoner rock & prog into something sour when he gets going. Not all of them now, but the vast majority. Still great otherwise though.
