Elden – Nostromo

Elden – Nostromo

Fuzzorama Records – 2020

Rock, Metal, Stoner, Proto

Rated: *****

Another album that made the Doom Charts of January 2020 we had the honor to write quick blurb for is Nostromo by the four Swedes from Elden. Sometimes a band needs a new name and sometimes, that, and the first track of their new album is all it takes to become completely and totally over the moon with them. Atlas changed into Elden and Nostromo is the new album. Relapse is the first track, an intro into what comes next, Sail & Savour... and that's the one we’re talking about here. It’s heavy metal, it’s proto metal, it’s stoner metal and it’s so much more! ‘Propulsive drumming, turbo-charged Sabbath riffs and vocals that are pure, 21st century Ozzy’ we wrote about the first demo Atlas produced. Well, these cats went out and perfected that given into something that is awe-inspiring and intimidating. Holy hell! Nostromo really is the smash ‘n grab article of the year! (ps. I like the name Elden way more than Atlas, how about you?)
