Swiss trailblazers E-L-R have revealed the final video single "Opiate The Sun" for a track taken from the doomgaze trio's sophomore full-length entitled Vexier, which has been slated for release on 11 March via Prophecy Productions.
"We wrote "Opiate The Sun" as the last song for Vexier and so far it is the most psychedelic single taken from our new album", writes the Swiss trio. "As the title suggests, this piece is a tribute to the sun and its majestic radiance. We meant to musically dazzle the listener into a gracious daze with the interplay between the two parallel elements water and air."
The simple strumming of a rhythm guitar slowly expands into an ever-widening reverb space. Gentle voices arise in the background. A lead guitar on a high note begins to thread roots through the velvet darkness of opening track 'Opiate The Sun' of E-L-R's sophomore full-length Vexier until the rising pressure finds a way out and the rapidly expanding sound-growth bursts out into the sun.
The style of the Swiss has been dubbed doomgaze and post-metal and both terms apply loosely to the trio's meandering, down-tempo doom-epics. E-L-R's hypnotic phrases that are constantly varied and warped in repeating loops are reminiscent of shamanic rituals imbued with psychedelic colours. The trio weaves a subtle tapestry with diligence and persistence that depicts a labyrinth full of intricate details and hidden treasures.
