Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records announce September 26th as the international release date for ELBE’s third full-length album, Peculiar. Along with revealing the album details, the band has released their brand new single and official music video for “Place to Die.”
Watch “Place to Die” here:
“Peculiar” is an outcome of a 2-year musical self-exploration of musicians from the band ELBE.
The vocals were recorded over already finished music, which often required compromises or adjustments. It was a process of finding melodies and harmonies that would fit the overall shape and mood of the songs..
Although the lyrics of the album are mainly based around tough themes such as difficult relationships, life struggles, or feelings of loss, there is also an ever-present underlying layer of hope and new beginnings.
It is not a single, specific story but rather individual “tales” of each one of us.
We believe that with this album of songs, we achieved to create something meaningful.
Something that is touching and musically intricate at the same time.
Album track listing:
1. Sen
2. Never Again
3. Place To Die
4. You & Me And The End
5. Before I Go
6. Who Am I If Not Me
7. Slow Down!
Blending elements of post-metal, post-rock, doomgaze and atmospheric intensity, ELBE has built a distinctive and evolving sound. Originally founded as an instrumental project by guitarists Standa Jelinek (Dying Passion) and Martin “Spacosh” Perina (Between the Planets, Martians), the band has since grown into a complete lineup featuring drummer Jan Kylar, bassist Jan Stinka (both also of Dying Passion), and most recently, new vocalist Pavel Hrncir (Silent Stream of Godless Elegy).
Following their critically praised albums Sudety and Eschatology, which brought them to major festivals such as Brutal Assault and MetalGate Czech Death Fest, and to the stage with bands like The Moth Gatherer and The Chasing Monster, ELBE are now ready to unveil their next evolution.
We warmly welcome ELBE to our growing community of passionate and visionary artists.
