Velvet Elevator's debut album Principium is a dense wall of heavy psychedelic sound. With guitars tuned to open C and amps cranked to 11, the Wollongong outfit crafts a crushing so nic landscape rooted in drone, psychedelia and doom. Thematically exploring anthropomorphism, religion and apocalypse through the lens of biblical Revelation, the album's closing tracks tell the story of the Blood Moon. Drawing comparisons to Black Sabbath, The Heads and The Wiz, Principium proves that heavy is about attitude—and these garage-honed musicians have it in spades. Show more
