Our Take
Our Take
Queen Elephantine's "Gorgon" is a sonic journey through the depths of psych-rock that will leave you questioning reality and your place in the universe. This album is a cacophony of swirling guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and haunting vocals that will transport you to another dimension.
From the ethereal opening track "Cosmic Eye" to the pulsating "Quartered," Queen Elephantine takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions and sonic landscapes. The band effortlessly blends elements of doom metal, Eastern music, and experimental rock to create a truly unique listening experience.
Frontman Indrayudh Shome's vocals are both haunting and mesmerizing, drawing you in with their raw emotion and intensity. The instrumentation on "Gorgon" is equally impressive, with swirling guitars and throbbing basslines that create a dense and immersive sonic tapestry.
Tracks like "Mithras" and "Aranyani" showcase the band's ability to build tension and release it in explosive bursts of energy. The album's closer, "The Other Room," is a fitting end to this cosmic journey, leaving listeners in a state of contemplation and awe.
In conclusion, Queen Elephantine's "Gorgon" is a must-listen for any fan of experimental rock and psychedelic music. This is an album that demands to be experienced in its entirety, from start to finish. So sit back, close your eyes, and let Queen Elephantine take you on a trip you won't soon forget.

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!
