In an ungoing collaboration with the Russian band The Grand Astoria, Elmer has pushed his limits both musically and literally. Various tours through big parts of Europe on both guitar and bass have been reviewed. In 2013 Elmer joined the band on bass. Which can also be heard on the EP Deathmarch. Later on Elmer took care of the guitar for the tours in 2016, 2017 and 2019.
