Elder - Halcyon (Live Session)

WATCH THE FULL VIDEO HERE: • Elder Omens Live Sessi...
---
In April 2021 we "celebrated" the one-year anniversary of Omens - an album we never had a chance to play live yet. We decided to film a short live set to celebrate that anniversary and also give fans a chance to 'preview' the material live.
Recorded between Germany and Massachusetts (where band members reside), the session was mixed by Richard Behrens at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin. Liquid light visuals and editing magic by Palantir Visuals.
Thanks to Zukunft am Ostkreuz for making the filming of this possible.

I think the world deserves Elder on KEXP. What a gift that would be.

[@wesleywesley2497]

and then put that live version on spotify

[@MrTreeVillage]

Please yes!

@@MarkMelara How do we make this happen? The world needs it.

[@RomuloHenrique88]

I agree

[@churchofgenerals4761]

Sometimes I go down to the beach near my house at sunset . listen to music .drink some beer, light a fire and at some point between twilight and dusk this song comes on and I am right with the world

[@alexbone98]

My less glamorous equivalent is sitting on my fourth floor balcony, cigar in hand and a killer sunset meandering between the downtown apartments.

[@randominternetuser2]

You have way with words unknown to most. How did you learn all these words?

[@anythinganytimealways]

​@@randominternetuser2They're all equivalently generic English words

[@jcisternas]

Thank you Elder! In 2020 a great old friend of me committed suicide and left me devastated, depressed and thoughtful. She was the only person I knew who was so passionate about Elder, she sang beautifully and was able to spectacularly play dead roots and lore songs on drums. Many times she talked about how great it would be to see Elder live, and now she is gone, but rediscovering Omens has been a way to ease the pain.

[@Schuli]

I feel sry for you Bro. I hope you will see elder live and in you heart she is with you!

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

Hope you are doing ok x

[@hiroprotagonist921]

I hope you've been able to find some measure of peace over the passage of time.

[@goroachi]

Very shocking to read these sad lines bro....very sorry for your loss...😢😢

[@ryanmustain6545]

I am so intrigued about where they are goIng as a band. Their abilities as songwriters is unmatched.

[@whatdothlife4660]

They're alright. It's simple and generic stoner rock, certainly not "unmatched."

[@tololo16]

I mean, if the last three minutes have lasted 10 more minutes, I would have still say that it wasn't long enough. This last part is magnificent.

[@christianhoffmann9061]

I lack the words to describe how those minutes feel...

[@j0h4nvk]

Totally agree!

[@msp720]

Elder could make a whole EP with songs based around riffs from the last 1-2 minutes of several of their songs. Lore, Sanctuary, Halcyon, and a few others build up to amazing final sequences, and then fade out after a minute. I love what they do, but sometimes I just want more of THAT.

[@ashmac_dear_dentures_implants]

Can't wait for Elder & TOOL 🔥

[@ofidelisartes]

A REAL BANGER OF THIS AGE

[@Jao_Xiden20]

Elder is the best

[@johnpeniell9709]

These guys are phenomenal!

[@czar666]

Elder are totally awesome and became one of my alltime-favourite bands over the last few years. Saw them live recently and it was the most beautiful experience ever… 🥹🙏🤘🪐👽✨🤩

[@wendyyvonne]

@@czar666I too recently saw them live. They are on a whole other level. Totally awesome and trippy! Their music transports you to another dimension! They beyond rock!

[@czar666]

@@wendyyvonne yeah, I‘m glad for you that you had the opportunity, too. I think their show was amazing! Where did you see them? I saw them in Bremen/Germany in a fairly small club. Maybe 200 people… Have a good one 🤘🏻🤘🤘🏾🤘🏿👽✨

[@caverndeep]

I was worried this song wouldn't be as good live as on the record. Lets just say that my worries have been relived.

[@thatsjohnnyt6480]

Relieved?

[@Vanalos]

Elder live is really great. I'd recommend to try to see them if possible.

[@armata6530]

Seen them live in 2022 and 2023. Both tours they played this song and it absolutely crushes.

[@deanseabrooksswearjar2011]

This Band has become the stuff of mythical legendary status! This tripped out clip of Halcyon and the album Omens, is the beast I hoped that someone, someday could possibly rival The Mars Volta’s “ De-Loused in the Comatorium”! Which I regarded as My greatest album of all time! Especially with the story Cedric made to go with it! But Elder can take music to all those wonderful heights you always Dream of! At the 11.25 min mark of this clip of Halcyon, the Band go to a place that’s other worldly! Into the heavens! That riff man! And all those accompanying fills that follow, and Nicks epic gun barrel soloing, make me Want to just listen to that over and over for days! And it’s soooo friggin amazing to hear all the wonderful comments below, also stating how mind blowing that ending is! Great minds think alike! Say No more! And those visuals! Like Wow! Wipeout! All I can say, is pretty please, come to Melbourne Australia! You guys are some of the most incredible musicians I’ve seen in a long, long time! Thank you soooooo much! Dean from Williamstown, Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@zackkorth2410]

frances the mute is the best album of all time, but deloused is still legendary.

[@kingnothing12]

I think I counted about 3 times that my arm hair stood on end during this song. Pure goosebumps

[@jackupastrana]

jesus christ that ending was fuuuucking awesome!

[@alexisdocquier3215]

This is a masterpiece. ELDER is the most powerfull band I listen in my life. Perfect balance between theory and feeling. Thanks again

[@arkhivesmoth]

woow, im speechless, i have no speech...what na ending...wow...bless the elder

[@rossblumhorst9181]

Oh heck yes I'm so glad you expanded that already-sublime outro and gave it the love it deserved. Experiencing this in-person is gonna be heavenly

No joke.. that is one of the best Songs for me, it moving so many things in me...

[@SummerPalmsSunshine]

This song was an epic finale on the Desertfest Berlin last weekend! The song and the whole gig sent me on a trip, i was high on music. Especially the surround-ish sound of the last part embraced my soul deeply that day. Truly magnificent, thank you for that experience! ♥

[@bethannsmith4969]

Aww man. I waved off an invite to see Tool and just realized I missed an amazing opportunity to see this live. Dang.

Oh my god theyre kicking in a week later🍄🫣🥵

This song and video has changed my life.

I'm thankful for elder

[@haha__cool_yes]

one of my favorite tracks on the album, and the extra jam at the end of this one just makes it that much better!

[@magusmaximmus2172]

I used to not like Elder, I just didn’t get them. Then in 2020 they released Omens. I was hooked. Could not stop playing that album. Granted, I had seen them live numerous times prior to that release but still didn’t click until Omens. Needless to say, I can’t get enough of these gentlemen.

[@HalcyonGuitars]

Love that tune, and not just for the name!

[@vascomunista]

That intro is gold.

[@inperf3ct]

even better than on the record, I fucking love it

Beginning reminds me of Meddle by P F. However this is so good in its own right. Blaze one with this boys. 😊

[@marshwitch9610]

Ah fabulous... also the love how each is floating in psychedelic swirlies with their own intriguing pedalboard, like controls on a spaceship 🔥

Just ran across this band on a list among other artists and decided to listen. Friggin' stellar! Definitely added to my list of excellent bands!

[@sebgreenfield8800]

Good stuff, but I want to hear you in 10 years time... Keep going please.

[@konar7466]

This is just godly. Deserves waaaaaay more views :)

[@dejanmarkovic3040]

Yes, fkn take me to that Elder escapist universe...finally....

[@amigoamigo9201]

When you first dropped Omens I heard it a couple times and hated it. My sincere apologies, I have never been more wrong in my life... Omens is on loop for 1 month now and is truly a masterpiece! Elder fucking rules, hope you come to Portugal again!!!! Cheers

[@andrewdomonic6603]

I am such a "Reflections" and "Gold &Silver" head so I was a bit on the fence about it when released, maybe even disappointed. This record grows for sure. I should have known that they are always ahead of the curve.

[@TonyRedgrave1501]

I wouldn't say that I hated it but I can relate. At first I was disappointed because it doesn't feature as heavy guitar riffs as "Reflections..." or "Lore" and higher mixed vocals. But after some weeks It grew on me. I really like this record but "Reflection..." stays my favorite one and "Lore" my second favorite.

[@handlerkm]

Same

[@JensenP12]

I get you. It has since grown a lot on me. My new list would be Lore Reflections and Omens tied Dead Roots Stirring Self-Titled But to be honest, I'd put all of them on the same level. They're all equally amazing in their own right. But the soundscapes of the latter ones are truly awesome

[@floridacrackerguitartips6004]

New miracles do happen in art!

[@andreshermosilla864]

favourite from omens for sure.

[@patricknapier8902]

Stumbled on this a few weeks back and holy jeebus, this is good stuff!

What an escape, there are no words.

[@alexperez3651]
