''Reflections of a Floating World is Elder's fourth full length album and second LP released via Stickman Records (EU) and Armageddon Label (US). Long, undulating and dense tracks float between psychedelic passages and progressive rock without missing a beat; adventurous and unpredictable songs are punctuated by hypnotic jams, all colored by the tendency toward melody and dynamism that has become the band's hallmark. In keeping with their motto of expanding and expanding upon their repertoire, guest musicians Mike Risberg and Michael Samos joined the core three in the studio to add extra guitar, keys and pedal steel, adding vibrancy and lushness to the album. In all regards, Reflections shows a band with a clear vision honing their skills with every year.''

that moment when a transition, even if just for a minute, crushes you in all the right ways. Elder is treading on seriously rare ground with RoaFW.

[spencethegreat]

That outro absolutely crushes my soul then rebuilds it into something more beautiful.

[johnathonwitenski]

5:15 to 5:53 needs to be longer. Fucking god tier riff.

[toot]

Born into the world without knowing
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
Screaming as though we have a voice

Sanctuary

[blueoystercultscowbell]

They have a Yes feel to them. Thankfully there are still bands out there doing this type of stuff.

I'm usually not into this kind of music but I love everything about this album

[nicermog]

Easily the best song I've heard this year.

[xTHIRDHORSEMANx]

I heard Elder for the first time today (The Gold and Silver Sessions) I bought a t-shirt on the spot.

I’ve been checking all their material one after the other and I gotta say I never expected to be this blown away.

[brentprieur]

This is one of those rare songs that gives me goosebumps. I LOVE THIS BAND!

[giljon]

this song is a goddamn journey
from 5:53 it's just tragic, took me by surprise completely, almost got me crying

[TitaniumAnarchy]

That intro riff is giving me some serious Megadeth vibes. I can already tell I'm gonna like them.

[SeanH]

Hasn't been more than 2 days ive went without listening to Tool and Dream Theater in about 3 years. Only today a work friend led me on the path to Elder. Alls I can say is

[solario]

That lydian in the end is one of the greatest moment of my life

[kumidodasilva]

where you gonna hide if all your sacred places are infected?
where you gonna run to?
protect your sanctuary..

[dj_koen]

i have never heard a mostly instrumental track go so incredibly hard

[rockead]

That intro melts my face off every time

[strangelalansbury]

This album throws hands with Dark Side of the Moon and I'm a lifelong Pink Floyd fan

[matheushoff]

cant believe I just recently found out these guys...
they are just so awesome

[isaacf]

This song is fire as fuck my hands are melting into my keyboard

[MaryToddWasRight]

amazing song. the transition at 6:34 that sounds like some weird hybrid of My Bloody Valentine and Pallbearer is fucking BAD ASS. seriously this is album of the year material
