Forever Becoming

After four years of silence, instrumental metal standard-bearers Pelican have come thundering back, with 'Forever Becoming', an eight-song album. This reborn Pelican is purer, more focused, and far more assured. Recorded at Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Chris Common, and featuring The Swan King guitarist Dallas Thomas (replacing the amicably departed Laurent Schroeder-Lebec) 'Forever Becoming' is an immense, speaker-rattling meditation on the infinite cycle of death and life. It takes a lot of experience and a lot of confidence to attempt a head-on ascent of the biggest, most monolithic theme in art, but 'Forever Becoming' is proof that Pelican has plenty of both, and knows how to wield them. Instrumental rock / metal for fiends of Explosions in the Sky, Mono, Russian Circles, Don Caballero etc.LP - Limited thick black vinyl with Stoughton gatefold tip-on jacket.
