Austrian progressive stoner rock solo project Celestial Haze dropped self-titled debut EP; out now via Suwereen Records!

Vienna, Austria based progressive stoner rock solo project Celestial Haze presents self-titled debut EP, which was just released on September 18th, 2026 via Suwereen Records.

Tracklist:
01. The Ruin
02. The Mending

Driven by heavy riffs and wide-open atmospheres, Celestial Haze creates an evocative take on stoner rock that feels both grounded and otherworldly. Woven into its DNA, the music draws clear inspiration from the psychedelic, progressive sound of early Elder, carrying you into expansive soundscapes and somewhere beyond the familiar.

Conceived as a solo project in Helsinki, Finland, by multi-instrumentalist Darek Luja, and completed following his relocation to Vienna, Austria, Celestial Haze emerges as a new spark somewhere within what might be called the Elderverse.

The next chapter is already taking shape, with the project now growing into a full band.

Written, performed, recorded and mixed by Darek Luja.
Mastered by Markus at Doom Studios.

Released by Suwereen Records.
