Pelican's new album is a must-hear!
Pelican's new album, "The Darkness That Comes Before" is a must-hear!
Since forming in 2001, Pelican have been known for their moody, progressive post-metal. Drawing comparisons to bands such as Isis and Neurosis, the quartet create an atmospheric and intense sound that is both crushing and melodic.
With their fifth studio album, "The Darkness That Comes Before", Pelican have continued in this vein, delivering another epic and dark record. The album was released on August 5th via Southern Lord Records, and has been met with critical acclaim.
Fans of the band will not be disappointed with "The Darkness That Comes Before". It contains all the trademarks of a Pelican album - heavy drone sections, intricate guitar work, and pounding drums - while also incorporating some new elements. For example, there are moments on the album that are more akin to black metal than post-metal. This gives the record a fresh feel, while still sounding like a Pelican album.
If you're a fan of doom, sludge or post-metal, then you need to check out Pelican's new album. It's one of the best releases of 2014 so far.

New video from Pelican – psychedelic and mesmerizing
The Pelican video for their new song, Dazed and Confused, is a psychedelic and mesmerizing visual experience. The video was directed by filmmaker Tyler Hurd, who has worked with artists like Beyoncé and Childish Gambino in the past.
Pelican's new song is inspired by the classic rock tune of the same name by Led Zeppelin. The song is heavy and rocky, with psychedelic elements that give it an extra edge. The video reflects this well, with its trippy visuals and surrealistic scenes.
The video starts out with what appears to be a giant eyeball in the sky. This soon turns into a cityscape, which then morphs into all sorts of weird and wonderful shapes. There are scenes of people dancing and interacting with each other, as well as some trippy abstract sequences that will leave you feeling dizzy and confused.
Overall, the Pelican Dazed and Confused video is a visual masterpiece that is sure to leave you mesmerized. It's a perfect reflection of the song itself – psychedelic and heavy, with an extra touch of weirdness that makes it stand out from the rest.
Pelican announces hiatus – fans heartbroken
After a hiatus announcement that left their fans heartbroken, the indie rock band from Missouri, Pelican has finally spoken out.
The band had this to say on their website:
"Hey everyone, we're sorry for how long this has taken. We know how much you all want some news and we appreciate your patience. Here's what's going on. Jarrett (our drummer) is dealing with a lot of personal health issues and we need to take some time off to support him. We don't know how long this will take, but we'll definitely keep you all in the loop. We love you all so much and can't wait to get back out there."
This announcement came as a shock to many of their fans who were eagerly awaiting new music from the band. Some took to social media to express their disappointment while others offered words of support for Jarrett and the rest of the band.
This isn't the first time that Pelican has gone through a rough patch. In 2009, they went on an indefinite hiatus after bassist Bryan Herweg was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The band reformed three years later without Herweg and released an album in 2013. It is unknown whether or not Herweg will return to the band if and when they decide to resume touring/recording.
Pelican is an instrumental rock band who formed in 2004 in St Louis, Missouri. They have released six studio albums and toured extensively around the world.
