Mentioned it in another comment, but Delving is from the lead guitarist of Elder, and it has a lot of similarities with more exploratory synth and atmospheric sections. All instrumental, as well, so it works as a background soundtrack. As for other recommendations: All Them Witches and Buried Sleeper are great too.

we NEED more Elder

It is indeed from 2017, and when I introduce them to people I usually say "imagine early Sabbath meets Animals era Floyd" to set the expectations. Very smooth, ambient, and TEXTURED is the best word I have for the sound. I sounds like velvet on my ears. If that makes any sense. Love it! Do "Back From the Grave" by Mountain Witch. Very Blue Oyster Cult meets Dio era Black Sabbath.

Elder is fantastic! Thanks for listening to them!

So yeah, I think we can all agree that Geebz is the best thing to happen to music reaction content on YT.

Fuckin incredible. What rock have I been living under? My new musical fixation for sure

I haven't ran into a band such as Elder that evokes so much excitement, amazement, and attention to detail since I first discovered Tool many years ago. You have plenty to dive into with there treasure trove of the discography. Can't wait for more 👍

Elder is one of those bands that stick out for sure. Even within the confines of their genre. If you really like it that much, I also recommend Toundra (although unlike Elder they're purely instrumental). Tracks: Kitsune, Requiem, Viesca and Espírita are my favorites. Particularly the first one. Had me in tears more times than I want to admit.

CHEEEEHOOOO I've been dying for an Elder review! If you happen to come back to this band, try their album "Dead Roots Stirring". Their track "The End" off of that album is truly incredible.

Holy shit I can’t believe you’ve dabbled into Elder. One of the greatest bands of this generation. Hopefully many more reactions to come from this band.

Compendium by Elder, or try Astral Plane by Ecstatic Vision

Found Elder earlier this year. Great band

I'm so happy you did an Elder reaction!!!

I was living in Bangkok and received some real sad news one day that a real good buddy of mine had passed away too young. I got drunk as hell and spent the night in tuk tuks or on the back of bikes from one bar to another to another and then another until the sun came up and I spoke to not a soul bar to order beer and listened to this album on repeat maybe 7-8x. Most epically sad evening ever. But reflections will always hold a special place in my heart. X

Elder is what I listen to when I sit down and need to get my head in the correct space to begin writing. This album actually. Phenomenal album and band, hope you do more.

Discovering so many new artists with this channel . 🤟🤟

This is one of my favorite albums of all time, so happy to see you checking it out. Absolutely love them.

Elder. You’re delving into some amazing territory here. I would absolutely love to hear your thoughts on YOB. An epic video on Marrow or Ablaze would make for some great content, and I think your perspective would be very valuable.

now we're getting into the good stuff slowly

Oh wow...I can't believe I missed this album ...this track is absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much for this reaction ... I can see why you mentioned Jethro Tull..I'm a old bobo..who grew up with Hendrix, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc👍😆.... I definitely got how the vocals remind you of Perry Farrell. There is definitely a mix of styles ...prog signatures..eg Rush, Dream Theater and Opeth...stoner/ sludge.. Black Sabbath , Mastodon. Looking forward to your next reaction. It's great how you deconstruct the songs. Aloha from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘

This is a band that I wanted you to look at but never thought you'd get to! So happy you did! Amazing stoner band

The ending of the song feels odd because it's linked to the next track on the album, the whole album is a wonderful journey and an fucking masterpiece

Holy shit, Geebz is doing an Elder song

So happy you finally got around to my new favorite band! Joyous Day! They're the one band I've found this decade that I can listen to any time and never have to skip a track. They don't write short songs; every song feels like an album. These guys are phenomenal! "Halcyon," off of the new album "Omens" is my recommendation, probably dropped this with you before. FYI, Elder are a newer band but they've produced several albums in the last few years; their older stuff is Sabbathy and they get more Zeppelin throughout. Oh, and, Nick DeSalvo, guitarist/singer, writes most of the licks/melodies, but the band is tight and they are all great live.

Animals as Leaders should be one to brake down as well.

Great seeing Elder here! I did suggest the song Compendium!

I've only been emotionally moved by music to the degree this band evokes twice in my life. The first was when I was a child and you can guess who... The second was Elder in 2017, after first discovering them and the genre's they fall under (Stoner, Doom, Heavy Psych, just to name a few). They, along with many others in these genres now, have reinvigorated & cemented my love of music.

Elder is fantastic void to dive into. You must give YOB a listen!!

Here's the thing, man: I don't think I've ever heard of this band before tonight, either. Halfway thru your reaction I paused to go order this CD. So there's that -- your channel is bringing beautiful awesome killer music to people, you're sharing the love. That's what it's all about. Second, I get you when you say you're pissed at yourself because I always do that too: "DAMMIT how have I slept on this? I could have been listening to this all this time!" But then I remind myself that there's so much out there, and I will never be able to hear everything...but now I've heard whatever it is that's rewired my brain that way, and I get to listen to it NOW. It gets to change my life NOW. And that's special. That's what we hope for. And then I feel good about it.

Elder is my chill zone music. They create such a solid vibe and atmosphere. The front man has a project called "Delving" that is instrumental and very cool psychedelic prog stuff.

all your references are spot on man, as you will find they are the same inspirations for more modern bands that are as influential such as Mastodon, I'm hearing a lot of them on this track in a great way. Thanks for the video!

Those passages do get stuck in my head too! I’ll wake up in the middle of the night with those riffs playing over and over. And not complaining. That album was released in 2017, and IMO they are all great. I like the experimental stuff from the gold and silver sessions.

Ain't it wonderful? Just made my inaugural ELDER videos for my channel, listening to the whole of this album. Spectacular stuff - organic, vital, vivid, real. Well done fella!

I was recommended Elder by a fellow guitarist from the band rehearsing in their room/rehearsal space next to mine (and my band members) a few years ago and I really got into them. I dug into that genre (progressive psychedelic rock or something with stoner elements) and found bands like Mars Red Sky, Somali Yacht Club, Monkey3, Glowsun, King Buffalo, Scorpion Child, Slift, Stone From The Sky, The Spacelords and so on... a proverbial rabbit hole of musical styles with each band having their own identity and sound while sitting somewhere in the same ballpark.

I was in love with this band from the first song. It was instant top 10 for me. But With this album it became top 2 (nothing can beat Opeth, haha) and it still holds to this day

Ayyy I’ve been listening to this album for yonks, crazy to see it pop up here!

Welcome to the world of Elder. It's really incredible stuff; been grooving to them for years. Glad to see people here as well enjoying their catalogue.

Don't beat yourself up about missing out on cool stuff like this. Just be happy when you find it! I just learned about them here, and I've been listening to prog, metal, sludge and other related stuff for over 20 years. Sometimes cool shit just falls through the cracks.

This is also my introduction to them, one of the best parts of this channel is that covering so much new music means you're also exposing everyone else to things they haven't heard yet. Thanks for yet another great discovery!
