"The Most Beautiful Record We've Made" — Nick DiSalvo of Elder on the Through Zero Artwork
Jun 4, 2026
Nick DiSalvo of Elder on the album artwork and packaging behind Through Zero — and why the band went deeper into the visual design on this record than anything they've done before.
Nick describes the process of creating the artwork for Through Zero as a full creative deep dive — nerding out on every detail of the packaging, the visual concept, and what the record looks like as a physical object. He calls it the most beautiful record Elder has ever made from an artwork perspective, which for a band with seven albums and a catalog of consistently strong visual presentation is a meaningful statement.
For anyone who believes that a great record is a complete sensory experience — the music, the artwork, the physical object — this conversation is worth your time. The Through Zero artwork is designed to be seen and held, not just streamed.
Through Zero is out now via Blues Funeral Recordings in North America, Stickman Records in Europe, and Bird's Robe in Australia.
Pre-order variants available through Blues Funeral Recordings, Stickman Records, and Levitation Records.
