Swiss post-metal band E-L-R prep new LP ‘Vexier’ (watch the “Seeds” video)30 Essential Songs from the Shoegaze / Heavy Crossover

Swiss post-metal band E-L-R will release their sophomore album, Vexier, on March 11 via Prophecy Productions (pre-order). The band recently put out lead single "Fleurs of Decay," and we're now premiering second single "Seeds," along with its video. It's a psychedelic, shoegazy song with sludgy weight, and if you're into stuff like Alcest, Boris, and Jesu, you'll probably dig this too. Here's what the band says about it:

The reverberating bass strides in from the distance, a foreign voice can be heard and, together with cavernous guitar feedback, draws the listener directly into a hypnosis. The main message of the song lies in the vocal line "Seeds will grow and thrive" – a wide reflection that a radiant colossus can emerge from a plain spark. The video for "Seeds" leaves a lot of room for interpretation and reverie, while the listener gets lost in the driving beat, reverb swathes and healing vocal choirs.

Watch the videos for both singles below...
