This two-track EP, bridging Elder's stoner-doom origins and recent proggier direction, now has its dedicated European pressing via Stickman Records. Initially overshadowed by the success of "Dead Roots Stirring" and the shift in style with "Lore," the 2012 EP "Spires Burn/Release" introduces progressive, psychedelic, and post-rock elements. With "Spires Burn" delivering sludgy Maryland-doom riffage and classic twin guitar interplay, and "Release" countering with uplifting melodies, both tracks showcase a more progressive song structure. Despite its brevity, "Spires Burn/Release" stands as a significant, heavy record in Elder's evolution. Available on 180g purple vinyl.
