Midnight and Mescaline

about

Pelican, the instrumental quartet whose singular vision of heavy music eschews classification, are set to release their first new music in almost six years. Channeling the visceral bombast of their live shows, “Midnight and Mescaline” is an unrelenting riff marathon, careening from bombastic heaviness to metal-infused fretboard frenetics to cathartic melody in under five minutes. Paired with b-side “Darkness on the Stairs,” the new release taps into the band member’s shared roots in the late 90s DIY music scene, exuding an undeniably punk intensity and propensity for impassioned ferocity.

Note: Album long Jeu en performances (lJ perfo) du groupe Pelican (US-IL,Chicago) paru en 2020_04. Quelquefois la qualité d'enregistrement à partir des performances sur scène est moindre et rend l'écoute moins attractive par rapport à des albums studio. Dans le cas de Pelican on assiste à des prestations musicales de haut calibre avec toujours la présence du sentiment de diligence qui vient avec le direct. ajout, discographie améliorée et complétée (juin 2023).

Je ne possède aucun disque metal instrumental. Sauf celui-ci. Et pour un gros fan de voix comme moi, ça en dit long. Pour la faire courte, le son est ENORME, et les riffs sont légendaires. Envoûtant. gregory duveau
