1) Elder is a four-pi… Read Full Bio ↴There are several artists with the name Elder;
1) Elder is a four-piece progressive doom band from Boston, Massachusetts consisting of frontman Nick DiSalvo, bassist Jack Donovan, guitarist/keyboardist Michael Risberg and drummer Georg Edert. They have released five full-length albums since 2006 and multiple demos and EPs.
Elder is a genre-pushing rock band that melds heavy psychedelic sounds with progressive elements and evocative soundscapes. Formed in a small coastal town in Massachusetts in the mid aughts, the band has reinvented their sound over the course of five albums to grow from a stalwart of the stoner/doom scene into one of the most unique voices in the rock underground. Their long-scale compositions unfold as journeys, running the gamut of styles from the 70’s to the present within a single song with a penchant for “sheer gatefold-era grandeur” (Rolling Stone).
By continuing to incorporate new elements to their sound, Elder’s output has repeatedly set benchmarks for their peers. Beginning with 2008’s Elder and 2010’s Dead Roots Stirring, Elder made ripples in the stoner rock scene with their uniquely melodic approach to the genre. In 2015 they surprised again with Lore, a watershed moment in the band’s career (recently crowned “Album of the Decade” by The Obelisk) which brought in elements of post-, prog- and space rock into the Elder sound. Despite several years of heavy touring surrounding the album, Reflections of a Floating World was released just two years later, earning a spot at the top of many best-of lists including Rolling Stone (#5, 20 Best Metal Albums Of 2017), Stereogum and others.
In 2019, a tour pitstop in Berlin, Germany yielded the experimental EP The Gold & Silver Sessions. Recorded live based off ideas largely crafted while on the road, the release showcased Elder’s softer side; motorik beats, lush keyboards and sparse compositions replaced the usual colossal riffs and dense structure. Almost a decade and a half after the first sludgy riffs were recorded and the first demo pressed, the door for Elder stylistically remained wide open.
Elder’s new album Omens answers 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 paint pictures with their music, and Omens shows the band experimenting with an even more colorful palette – with good reason. After thirteen years, this is the first full-length recorded with a new lineup including guitarist Michael Risberg and new drummer Georg Edert, along with guest performances by Fabio Cuomo on Rhodes piano and synthesizers.
2) Formed in Brisbane in early 2018, Elder is a progressive indie rock band hailing from north Brisbane, consisting of Matt Burton (vocals, guitar), Henry Reese (bass) and Talia Bond (drums), the trio have released a DIY EP 'Cyril' in 2019 and their debut album 'Binoei' is due late 2020.

3) American screamo band.
4) Elder is also a musical dramatist, telling stories of a dark yet recognizable world. His keen observation falls between tearful humour and black romance. His songs immerse the grittier side of life; depicting scenes of smoke filled rooms and drug fuelled nights. His music paves the way with slapping grooves and roots overtones. His theatrical storytelling has likened him to David Bowie, Tom Waits and The Eels.

5) Elder was a dark Christian hard rock band that was on Bulletproof Music and Liquid Disc Records. It was made up of former members of the short-lived Four Living Creatures who were on Frozen Rope Records. "Elder gigs in Tidewater, VA were notorious for their evangelistic twist. It was like going to punk-goth-rock tent revival. Their first CD, Used To Be Adorable, was "funk 'n' punk" goth rock and Middle Eastern vibes with skilled intensity and scorching messages..." They broke up in the late nineties and the core member of FLC and Elder started a new project named Fell Desire.

Elder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whispering for life
He who wears the crimson shroud
Hollow, lifeless and divine
Deception is the book of faith
Silence is the only embrace
We walk the land without a choice
Sanctuary
The lyrics to Elder's song "Sanctuary" evoke a sense of introspection and contemplation. The first few lines suggest a sense of being born into the world without any prior knowledge or understanding. The line "Whispering for life" could imply a yearning for guidance or purpose. The next line, "He who wears the crimson shroud," is enigmatic and enigmatic, implying a mysterious figure who is both empty and divine.
The following lines introduce the themes of deception and silence. "Deception is the book of faith" implies that faith can be manipulated or misused, potentially leading to a distorted perception of truth. "Silence is the only embrace" suggests that in a world filled with noise and chaos, finding solace in silence might be the only way to truly connect with oneself.
The final two lines, "We walk the land without a choice, screaming as though we have a voice," encapsulate a sense of existential frustration. It implies that despite our yearning for purpose and agency, we often feel powerless and voiceless in navigating the world. The word "Sanctuary" is left open-ended, perhaps representing the longing for a place of refuge or peace amidst the complexities of life.

Born into the world without knowing
We enter this world unaware and ignorant of its ways
Whispering for life
Yearning and pleading for a meaningful existence
He who wears the crimson shroud
The one who dons the cloak of sacrifice and suffering
Hollow, lifeless and divine
Empty, lacking vitality, yet possessing a sacred essence
Deception is the book of faith
In this realm, trust is built upon lies and deceit
Silence is the only embrace
The only solace and comfort lies in silence and solitude
We walk the land without a choice
We traverse through existence without free will or autonomy
Screaming as though we have a voice
We express ourselves loudly and passionately despite our lack of true influence
Sanctuary
Seeking refuge and solace in a place of safety and tranquility

@Sean Roberts cool! Yeah I like a lot of stuff - including hip hop / rap, electronic music and more. I recently saw bbno$ at Bluesfest in Ottawa and that was hella fun.
To me it feels like it's not the genre that matters - but rather how the artist applies the genre/style, and your disposition - and where your head is at in the moment.
Despite all that, metal tracks like this just seem to hit on the deepest level. Songs like this hit hard, and pull emotions out of nowhere. And I think tracks like this do it 'extra' because of the intensity and "brutal honesty" of emotions. I think tracks like this are rare. They hit home for me. For me they invoke the kinds of feelings I get in rare occasions like when seeing a clear dark sky filled with stars. I feel like it tells a story/journey without words. Funny how music can do that.
I wonder how much a track like this would resonate for others, generally speaking. I wonder if it is a state of mind and/or a certain kind of philosophy that makes a person jive with a certain kind of music style/"vibe" - or even with music in general. I'm curious about it.
Being neuro divergent (ADHD) I've wondered if the way I experience music might differ from others experiences. I think I spend a lot of time in my thoughts, and music like this are like healing in some way. Maybe I'm overanalyzing, but maybe curiosity and deep reflection (i think?) is why I like this kind of music so much.
I pretty much forgot about this track and I'm super glad you replied.
잘사는건 뭐지?
The God of heaven and earth is Elder Park Tae Sun.
Do you know God's name?
In the West, in the fear of the name of God, in the east, of the glory of God.
Here is the name of God. It means that God came out of man.
Is there anyone in the world who announced that I am God?
In 1980, Elder Park Tae Sun declared, "I am God!"
I will reveal to the world that Korea is the East, the place to fear the glory of God.
In Israel, the East is the Republic of Korea.
In Japan, keep the islands quiet in the Bible! It means not you.
There will also be a nation that will never perish.
A country that is not destroyed here forever is a country where the sun will lose its light and will emerge afterward!
It is the country of Park Tae Sun.
Do you know that the candlestick of Israel came to the East as the East?
You will see that in the Republic of Korea there is a new, never-destroying country.
God's Word of Man's Creation, the Word of the Alien, the Word of the End Times, and the Word of the eternal world are recorded on the following website.
Five hundred years ago, the book of the prophets written by the teacher of Nasagoda, the name of God is shown in the file.
1. (十八卜術) 誕生하니 朴
(십팔복술) 탄생 박
2. 三聖水源(三人之水) 泰
삼성수원(삼인지수) 태
3. (羊一口의 又八) 일세 善
(양일구 우팔) 선
1. (十八卜) ; 十 + 八 = 木 + 卜 = 朴
(십팔복) 십 + 팔 = 목 + 복 = 박
2. (三人之水) ; 三 + 人 + 水 = 泰
(삼인지수) 삼 + 인 + 수 = 태
3. (羊一口의又八) ; 羊 + 一 + 口 + 八 = 善
(양일구의우팔) 양 + 일 + 구 + 팔 = 선
IIn the above passage, God's name clearly appears in the prophecies name is.It does not matter whether you believe this or not.God will judge you and build an eternal kingdom.
