I got recently introduced to this band that is cataloged as Experimental / Post- Metal but I consider them technical-metal.This is a small EP just 3 tracks but gives a great glimpse into the future LP coming soon from this band.
Pelican biography
PELICAN were formed in Chicago by guitarists Trevor de Brauw and Laurent Lebec.Brothers Larry and Bryan Herweg round out the line-up on bass and drums,respectively.Pelican are a purely instrumental outfit and were signed to Aaron Turner's(ISIS)Hydra Head Records.In 2003 they made their debut with a four song,eponymous EP.
PELICAN released their first full length effort in 2004,the critically acclaimed "Australasia" album.In 2005 PELICAN released their second full length effort,"The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw".In 2007 PELICAN released the album "City of Echoes",an album that saw the band take their music in a more accessible direction.
With sounds that alternate between dreamy sounscapes and crushing riffs,PELICAN is leading the pack in a new era of instrumental progressive metal.Highly recommended for fans of progressive and post metal,with a sound highly evocative of the inspirational NEUROSIS and other post metal bands like ISIS,CULT OF LUNA,CALLISTO & MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT
