Idaho-based heavy psych metal merchants EALDOR BEALU have signed to Ripple Music for the release of their 2026 studio album "Graves of the Silent Plain".
Hailing from the high desert of Idaho, progressive heavy psych quartet Ealdor Bealu was formed in 2015 by Carson Russel (Ghorot), Rylie Colingwood, Travis Abbott (Shadow & Claw) and Alex Wargo. With a focus on shifting dynamics from the ambient to the massive and back again, Ealdor Bealu's sound expands beyond genre boundaries.
Ealdor Bealu conjures a rare and powerful alchemy on their upcoming album and Ripple Music debut Graves of the Silent Plain. Across five deeply evocative tracks — with tracks such as ‘Abandoned to Decay,’ ‘Erosion,’ and ‘Gold Mountain’ — the band melds heavy rock, heavy psychedelia and dark folk ambience. Anchored by dual vocal forces (ethereal female leads and a soulful male croon) and built on patient, explosive dynamics, the album unfolds like a lost soundtrack to a mythical Western. Cinematic, melancholic and strikingly epic.
Over the past decade, Idaho's Ealdor Bealu has carved a singular path through heavy psychedelia, dark folk, and progressive metal, earning regional, national, and international praise across four full-length releases.
