Auckland alt-rock/metal band Coridian have announced a new EP titled Eldur (out May 22), serving as the third in a four-EP series that the band began in 2015 with Oceanic. Each of the four releases pertain to an element of the Earth, and Eldur is the Nordic word for Fire to pay homage to the Raven brothers' (drums, guitar) Nordic heritage.
Drummer Kris Raven elaborates on the elemental concept, saying:
"With Oceanic, we were just a new band, all over the place, like a rough ocean, Caldera was the beginning of the band’s grounding and foundation for our sound, Eldur sees us rising up with fiery passion in our writing and performances and Hava - we will have ascended and at peace. Invisible, yet powerful."
The announcement comes with a huge, catchy new anthem titled 'The WItness', toting vibes reminiscent of bands like The Butterfly Effect and Cog.
It comes with a visually-striking music video drenched in primary colours, and it's been designed specifically to be watched in portrait mode on mobile phones - check it out:
On top of the new single and announcing the EP, Coridian will also be releasing a documentary series about its creation on their Youtube channel in the lead up to the release of Eldur with episodes dropping each Monday from April 20th up until May 18th!
