Queen Elephantine is an avant-garde drone/doom collective known for their mesmerizingly heavy and ritualistic soundscapes. Formed in 2006 by Indian musician Indrayudh Shome, the band has manifested as a transnational entity with a fluid lineup, constantly evolving and drawing upon the diverse backgrounds of its members who have been based in various cities including Hong Kong, New York City, Philadelphia, and Providence. The band's name is indicative of the weighty and majestic nature of their music, which channels the spirit of ancient deities and forgotten worlds through colossal riffs, meditative percussion, and transcendental atmospheres.

Throughout their prolific career, Queen Elephantine has crafted a discography that traverses the outer edges of experimental music, weaving drone, doom metal, psychedelia, and ambient influences into a distinct tapestry of sound. Releases such as "Kailash" (2007) and "Scarab" (2013) cemented their reputation for crafting dense, sprawling compositions, while their more recent works like "Gorgon" (2019) and the "Tribute to Atrophos" series (2021) delve even further into the abstract, offering tribute to the very forces of decay and rebirth. Their endeavors often take shape as thematic concepts, inviting listeners to explore the metaphysical depths and transcendent realms that Queen Elephantine meticulously sculpts with each release.
