Pelican - The band that got me into Post-Metal.

This band does a great job of intertwining killer heavy riffs with catchy melodies. Each song takes the listener on a separate adventure, exploring new depths at every turn.

While Pelican already carries quite the discography, the band will release their new album Ataraxia/Taraxis, due out on vinyl April 10 via Southern Lord. Stay tuned for pre-order info.

Listen below for a new song off the album.
