Post-Metalers



Pelican is a post-rock, instrumental, doom, sludge, progressive  post-metal quartet from Chicago. This video is about one man's quest to find Pelican, and sing for them. However, they are very elusive, so instrumental they stay.



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!

  1. Pelican is one of those bands that I already heard before but completely forgot about them later. Thanks for reminding me.

    The distorted parts of Irepress was pretty hard to chew. I didn't like it but the softer parts were great.

  2. Whenever a band proclaim themselves as a genre, however ridiculous, I go by what they say.

    I enjoyed your music, as always.

  3. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. I 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.

    ...so sad.
