Pelican - Strung up from the sky

[MsMaggie1202]

I was told to crank this song and close my eyes. try it

[TheStrongBadMan]

Anybody here get here from TV tropes? And then laugh like a madman?

[jacklazzell]

pelican... best vocals!

[jacklazzell]

heard it called post-grunge

[WorldEnslaved]

@jacklazzell  actually its post metal

[steenje]

Check out Red Sparrows and God is an Astronaut if you like this band

[Mortalcall]

Perfect zombie slaying music... just sayin'

[Joedogjr]

DUDE!!!! Pelican is one of the greatest bands to ever EXIST!! If you don't like it, you have NO right to give criticism on music, EVER. PERIOD!

[neeltennis93]

@Joedogjr i love this band but what you said is bullshit.

people have different opinions and this is the comment section. not the comment-only-if-you-like-the-b­and-section

[Joedogjr]

@neeltennis93 Haha, I'm sorry dude, I was just exaggerating and crap. Sorry if it seemed a little too literal.

[neeltennis93]

disregard my statement if you were joking.

[The805pilot]

It is called Instumetal. That word just blew your mind!

[PaleBlueTsu]

This is delicious

[druebwake]

just found this band... .*entire universe shatters*

[seanquallen]

This is what I'm gonna call 'Not Metal'. That should be its own genre today since there is so, so much of it.

[jbeiberrules]

@seanquallen who cares if it's metal or not?

[TheWaveringRadiant]

@seanquallen in fact there's a name for this genre and it's post-rock \ post-metal.

[andrewwowk]

No matter how hard any future band tries, they will never be as good as Pelican.

[b03y]

@andrewwowk except tool. tool will always be as good or better than any band.

[inurfacez10]

@b03y TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[robotsforever]

It's like having having a small room with an abundance of pseudo intellectuals and a lack of seating.

[Roodski]

*asskiss* *asskiss* *personal experience* *maybe a sentence with "fucking" in it* *end of comment*

[myvydz]

2:39 - 4:10 One of the best riffs of all time.

[Keaton47]

oh god look at all these fagget kids commenting this shit, curses Metal Swim

[AdrianStick]

I remember listening to this 4 years ago... I was like WTF... but after 4 years of Isis and tool... I love this sooooooooooooo much!

[kmal2t]

This song makes me want to punch a baby in the fucking mouth! well not really..but it hyped me up before bed lol

[SOADHEAD666]

@kmal2t

Because it is so terrible?

[kmal2t]

@SOADHEAD666 no cuz its good

[primus567]

@SOADHEAD666 You're young.. You'll appreciate good music once you mature.. give it about 5 years or so. Until then, shut the fuck up. You're just making a fool of yourself.

[NightXemnas]

@primus567 While I agree with you whole-heartedly, And I know you're definitely not speaking of all young people, I've loved this band since I was 13. Back then, I was mature enough to see that this band had a sense of technicality, and was unique. =D

[peterchains]

this is pretty good, i have to admit.

[mee11mee]

This music makes you feel like a badass... makes you wanna slay dragons and shit.

[SOADHEAD666]

@mee11mee

Well, nope. Not at all. faggot.

[Djeezes]

4:12 an on !

[aeckstrand003]

This song empowers me.

[ihaveallseeingeyes]

i just discovered this and im so enthousiastic and touched

this is amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing­gggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

[NationUnderTheSwine]

They're kick arse but I haven't had visions of prehistoric animals yet.

[ExposingTheGOP]

@NationUnderTheSwine I actually got the vision on a sailing trip while blasting the music in my headphones and images of ancient, pre-human Darwinian struggles bombarded my mind. Did it all while sober, too. lol

[dalboy83]

right at the brief pause maybe have some string instruments then intertwine the metal with string symphony, to me that would be awesome ontop of this great song.

[307spooner]

This is the most kick ass song I've heard a while. It activates something primal somewhere in my bones, would love to see them live.

[fallynfry]

i just started really getting into this band. great shit

[andrewwowk]

Man I love these guys so much. The raw intensity of the music coupled with the beautiful melancholy that they manage to create is the perfect contradiction.

[FinlandsThunder]

Don't get me wrong, pelican is one of my favorite Post Metal/Post Rock (or whatever the hell you guys wanna call it), but I think their Australasia album was a lot better. But that's just my opinion...

[metallicaozzyd1]

this band is awsome!

[TyphoidExcel]

so all thier songs are instrumental?

this is some wicked music

[yaoifanboykitty]

@TyphoidExcel I believe they have a couple songs with lyrics, but mostly instrumental.

[DeathMetalAngel123]

I just bought this album today. Never heard the band and stuff and just listening to some of the songs before I open it up. Seems like some good stuff though.

[Gangu1z]

I have always wondered what this band sounds like. They're pretty damn awesome. I think it is strange how I've never gotten the chance to hear this band.

[kman618]

It's so much better without lyrics. This is shit you can blast anywhere and not have people stare at you because of the usual screaming. xD

[resistance156]

I agree... I'd absolutely love Isis if it weren't for the stereotypical screaming, which I find really detracts from their music.

[ZidaneTribal23]

this is some badass music

[SOADHEAD666]

@ZidaneTribal23

Fuck no.

[dragonboy2992]

@ZidaneTribal23 :D

[Lunchgift]

It's great to think of your own lyrics to these songs. I'm going to play this in my car and sing aloud to it, so I won't make peoples' ears explode

[xvxvcaspervxvx]

I just bought this cd randomly last night and I love it already!!!!!

Finally some hardcore instrumental!

I`ll have to check out their other albums now!

[aWorldCitizen9]

I just ordered this CD today.

[ExposingTheGOP]

Pelican's music is perhaps among the most intelligent in metal. The collage of "dark and light" sound and the grandiosity of the riffs, in combination with the genteel brutality of the drums, conjures up images of prehistoric animals doing battle in the ocean, struggling to survive and bringing about the beauty of the modern species on our planet. This is fucking scientific metal!

[underscoreisnotvalid]

if you want to conjure up prehistoric animals battling in the ocean i suggest you listen to mastodon =D

[ExposingTheGOP]

Cool! Thanks!

[dontpokesmot422]

@underscoreisnotvalid mastadon is nothing like pelican.

[PBLOVSH]

@ExposingTheGOP T rexes fighting!

[Lestatus86]

@ExposingTheGOP what about tool?

[ExposingTheGOP]

@Lestatus86 Tool resonates the drone of industry, the hurling of machines and the clanging of monolithic instruments of steel and of metal. The vocals, slightly muffled but charged with emotion, defiantly pierce through the din of industrial proto-metal, and, in each song, coalesce with the guitar, drums and bass in a final climax of rage and melancholy.

[wekka]

@ExposingTheGOP

and you just described Godflesh instead. Thanks.

[Pingu616]

@ExposingTheGOP That is probably the best description of a band's music I've ever heard, someone should write for a magazine or something, if you don't already haha

[ExposingTheGOP]

@Pingu616 Thank you, sir.

[thehornypuppy]

@ExposingTheGOP I want some of that weed please...pretty please.

[SOADHEAD666]

@ExposingTheGOP

Fuck no.

[yumberri]

@ExposingTheGOP couldnt have said it better muhself : )

[Darkhart1232]

@ExposingTheGOP You have to much time on your hands an to many drugs in you. Please go get help

[robotsforever]

@Darkhart1232 I wish I had all that extra time and a copious amount of drugs to help occupy it. Don't hate.

[dragonboy2992]

@ExposingTheGOP WTF?

[stultsak]

@ExposingTheGOP

i think you should look into Opeth

[lordsamhain]

perhaps not the right place to come out of the closet. lol

[CallitSane]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Hell yeah dude!! This song rules!

[pifonsi]

I love this track! Yeah it's fucking epic!

I will def buy this album

[Antics424]

love this stuff

[ShredAstaire]

That riff at 0:45 and other parts is sooo nice.

[StormbringerRuler]

I think they actually surpassed Australasia with this album. Great work. I'm so buying the album.

[opiiatee]

[Bobtju]

[dr05guitar]

[saintsdavid2]

[MissNieuwoudt]

I am only 1:12 into the song but so far it sounds promising :)
