Pelican is a
Irepress (pronounced ear-press) is a 5-piece self-proclaimed disco metal band from Massachusetts. However hilarious disco metal may sound, I don't think they're it. Similar to Pelican above, Irepress's sound is a very heavy "sludge" type of post-metal. They are an extremely progressive band (they even have a part or two that actually does sound like disco), and their musicianship is very technical.
I hope Pelican managed to get away from that singer this time!
Pelican is one of those bands that I already heard before but completely forgot about them later. Thanks for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteThe distorted parts of Irepress was pretty hard to chew. I didn't like it but the softer parts were great.
Whenever a band proclaim themselves as a genre, however ridiculous, I go by what they say.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your music, as always.
Yeah that part at around 3:44 is extremely heavy. I think it's drop B or something, which is so ridiculously low. If you like Pelican then I still recommend you check some of their other songs out, because they're pretty incredible.
ReplyDeleteI liked the Pelican video! I'm going to check more of them out right after I press "Post Comment"
ReplyDeletelol, post- metal... that sounds awfully ridiculous
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
ReplyDelete>disco metal
ReplyDeleteI was expecting something full of derp but instead there was good music.
I was planning about making a post about Pelican in the near-future! I didn't get into their latest album that much, but everything prior is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI got so excited when I saw "disco metal", only to find that you were right - it really doesn't strike me as that at all.
ReplyDelete...so sad.
