Coridian are an alternative rock group from Auckland, New Zealand. Today, they are announcing the release details for their forthcoming EP 'Eldur'.

'Eldur' is the third in a four EP series that the band began in 2015 with 'Oceanic'. The four EP cycle covers off all of the Elements that comprise the Earth. The 'Eldur' EP will see its release into the world on Friday May 22nd and is available for Pre-Order now at https://smarturl.it/PreEldur.

The word Eldur is Nordic for Fire. The Raven brothers' are of Nordic lineage. To celebrate the announcement of the 'Eldur' EP, Coridian have dropped a brand new, huge, anthemic rock single from the record, entitled 'The Witness', along with a filmclip for it - pre-save the new single here!

Formed in 2015, Coridian consists of brothers Mike Raven (Guitar), Kris Raven (Drums) and Nick Raven (Bass), with Dity Maharaj (Vocals).

Coridian's 'Elements' series of EPs are: Oceanic (2015), Caldera (2017), Eldur (2020) and Hava (TBA). The EPs not only represent the four elemental forces (Water, Earth, Fire, Wind) that make up the Earth, but also mirror the Band's progress and development. Drummer Kris Raven explains, "With Oceanic, we were just a new band, all over the place, like a rough ocean, Caldera was the beginning of the band’s grounding and foundation for our sound, Eldur sees us rising up with fiery passion in our writing and performances and Hava - we will have ascended and at peace. Invisible, yet powerful."

On top of the new single and announcing the EP, Coridian will also be releasing a Documentary series about the creation of the EP on their Youtube Channel in the lead up to the release of 'Eldur.' with episodes dropping Monday April 20th, Monday April 27th, Monday May 4th, Monday May 11th and Monday May 18th.
