Our Take
Our Take
Mesmerizingly murky and deliriously dense, Queen Elephantine's latest offering "Gorgon" is a sonic journey through the depths of the underground scene. Swirling guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and haunting vocals create a cacophony of sound that is equal parts terrifying and tantalizing.
The album opens with the brooding "Kali Yuga," a track that sets the tone for what's to come. From there, we are taken on a rollercoaster ride through heavy riffs, dark atmospheres, and mind-bending instrumentation. Tracks like "Veil" and "Quartz" showcase the band's ability to weave intricate textures and complex arrangements with ease.
Frontman Indrayudh Shome's vocals are a highlight throughout the album, shifting effortlessly from haunting whispers to guttural screams. The lyrics, steeped in mysticism and mythology, add an additional layer of depth to an already enigmatic sound.
As the album draws to a close with the epic "Adrift," it's clear that Queen Elephantine have crafted a masterpiece that is not for the faint of heart. "Gorgon" is a challenging listen, but for those willing to dive deep into its murky waters, the rewards are plentiful. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be mesmerized by the sonic landscape that Queen Elephantine have masterfully constructed.

About the artist
Queen Elephantine
Queen Elephantine, the enigmatic musical entity hailing from New York City, is a band like no other. Led by the mysterious figure known only as Indrayudh Shome, this psychedelic doom outfit has been summoning otherworldly vibrations since their inception in 2006. With a sound that is equal parts heavy and hypnotic, Queen Elephantine takes listeners on a sonic journey through the cosmos. Describing their music as "swampy, stoner doom," Queen Elephantine combines elements of Eastern mysticism, drone, and sludge metal to create a sound that is truly unique. Shome's powerful vocals, paired with the band's dense, mesmerising instrumentation, make for an experience that is both captivating and transcendent. Their latest album, 'Gorgon,' released in 2020, sees Queen Elephantine delving even deeper into the abyss, with sprawling compositions that unfold like ancient incantations. The album has been met with critical acclaim, earning praise for its fearless experimentation and dark, cathartic energy. With a live show that is as much a ritual as a performance, Queen Elephantine has built a reputation for their intense, immersive concerts. From the moment they take the stage, the audience is transported to another realm, where the boundaries of time and space dissolve. It's an experience that must be seen to be believed. In a music industry that often prioritises trends over innovation, Queen Elephantine stands as a beacon of originality. They are a band that dares to challenge conventions and push boundaries, creating music that is truly in a league of its own. Long live the Elephantine!
