Elder does it yet again! It's honestly very surprising to see bands come up with album after album, each unique with its own interesting features, but still not losing any integrity in the process. After Lore and Reflections, I did not expect them to be still so clear in framing their ideas and executing them on Omens. This is one colourful release, representing ideas (through music) that seem both disjoint yet connected. It's like the unconscious mind. Comes up with strange, disconnected ideas; but if thought is put into them, they fly together and integrate into a wonderful notion! That is ART, and that's precisely what Elder have done, time after time, and now once again. Beautiful.

In my experience with listening to Elder, it takes several listens to get it. To try and critique it after one listen is a disservice to the band, and to yourself frankly. Don't let yourself miss out on the chance to read between the lines and absorb all their music has to offer. This is my third listen and I am just now starting to feel the grooves. And I know that going forward this is going to be another heavy rotation Elder offering for me.

when skilled musicians are willing to drop their own stereotypes and just make good music, thats when magic happens. Elder has time and time again proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can be as technical or as raw as they want, and arent afraid to lay out smoother and more mellow vibes in a genre that's been dominated for generations by a consistent need to always be heavier, faster, and harder than the genre's forefathers. unabashed in their defiant will to remain undefineable, elder has managed to lay down some of the heaviest riffs of the new decade , while simultaneously expressing a range of sounds and emotions that most rockers have rejected in favor of psuedo-masculinity and constant self-stereotyping. love, hate, rage, tranquility, the journey, the destination, psychedelia and ambience, power and victory, loss and gain, defeat and renewal- no part of the humman experience is untouchable or unvoiceable for this group of absolutely virtuoso artisans. If any end of their long and extensive list of moving and powerful pieces appeals to you, then you owe it to a generation dominated by copycats to share the work of such an innovative and skilled group, for the good of music's future.
