Music from "The Elder" is a concept album by the American rock band Kiss, released in 1981. Working with producer Bob Ezrin, the band built a story around a young hero and a mystical order, with orchestral arrangements and a theatrical approach that departed sharply from their earlier hard rock. Songs such as "A World Without Heroes" and "The Oath" are among the best known on the record. The album was a striking and daring departure in the band's career.
