[cummymonster]

[GloriousBrilliance]

my soul is no longer dehydrated

[kikinsan23]

eargasm!!! 

[am242]

I´ve no words to describe what this song makes me feel, it´s like an adrenalyn injection

[jacklazzell]

stoner metal? you mean that these guys may occasionally partake in the demon weed? noOOOooo! only while they're awake.

[siriuslysirian]

killer

[almalebre13]

so hard...



[goldlion003]

this song is my fucking soundtrack totally!

[ipunchdragons]

@goldlion003 If this is your soundtrack, you must live one badass fucking life.

[RunawayAileron]

@ipunchdragons or he is fat and this is the soundtrakc when he walks on the street... oh god...

[ipunchdragons]

@RunawayAileron GOJIRA!

[PlagueEngine]

You know a song is good when the first phrase that comes to your mind upon hearing it is "blast furnace".

[ProgamerOmer]

Oruçluyken dinlemeyin lan ne diyim, wonderfull song

[assassinick]

i love head banging to this song

[donpureevil]

so awesome !!!!!! i need this as vinyl!

[eonblue4309]

15 people died of thirst.

[toastyear]

[toastyear]

mmmmm....thirsty for more

[Retritilli]

This song mages me speel incureklie, cus mi bren dun wergh enniemwoh!

[anerce]

damn. if the sun was made of music it would sound like this

[OhTheLolzors]

Heavy!



[thechingster]

Pretty great description, accurate and unpretentious.

[SweeneyAlexTodd]

I just watched a film called The Messenger, and Pelican - Drought is listed on the OST. fucking awesome music! but there is some song, that i don't know, not even the name of it, or the band. can please somebody help me finding it, cause it's gonna be stuck in my head like 4ever. that song starts around 12th minute of the film, scene where Ben Foster is taking his eye medicine, in his room. any help will be very much appreciated !!!

[Xenoforge78]

@SweeneyAlexTodd You could google/youtube the specific scene you're looking for, they might have an answer. Or you could also google the entire OST of the movie and go from there. :P

[MyCuipo]

Earth has done an ecological about-face: Global plant productivity that once flourished under warming temperatures and a lengthened growing season is now on the decline, struck by the stress of drought.

[DavAvantgarde]

God-Like!!!

[Mrbernait]

man the ground is moving for sure

[FaceDownDagon]

As long as we're on the topic of suggestions, you might try Circus Maximus - Sin. It's different, but it shares a few key qualities, and I think it's a great song. Worth a shot!

[bsabbath55]

Yea this song is pretty good

[GeneralCowbear]

I'm so glad that I just ran into this style of music. I absolutely love mastodon (lol on the comments about leviathan) but one of the things I've been really listening to lately is instrumentals and I craved more but couldn't find anything good. Anyone got any suggestions on other bands like this?

[Gustreznor]

@GeneralCowbear well Pelican is the heavier of them all but you may like Red Sparowes, Russian Circles,Thee Silver Mt. Zion,This Will Destroy You,Godspeed You! Black Emperor....

[drgnlord2]

@GeneralCowbear animals as leaders........ incredible

[Drezin86]

@GeneralCowbear More of a metalcore sound (a very technical metalcore), but check out Animals as Leaders.

[TheWishfulOar]

@GeneralCowbear post rock and post metal (which pelican is part of, though they'll deny it) are fantastic genres.

as for most instrumental, post music, i suggest Do Make Say Think, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Tortoise, and Slint if you would like lighter stuff. For heavier, try Russian Circles, ISIS, Jesu, If These Walls Could Talk.

And as mentioned by Gustreznor, bands like A Silver Mt. Zion and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are must listens for anyone.

[marsvoltian]

@TheWishfulOar Did you mean "If These Trees Could Talk?"

[TheWishfulOar]

@marsvoltian yeah. i done goofed. i meant If These Trees Could Talk..

[alexmonro83]

@TheWishfulOar what do you think of Maudlin of the well, kayo dot, amia venera landscape, rosetta, rinoa, bark psychosis and talk talk (laughig stock album)

[walla134]

Made the fatal mistake of starting this video with the lights on and not having a smoke in my hand. Feel like such an amatuer

[mauileqwerty]

@walla134 ahah I feel you, I'm out of rolling paper, shit. Pelican, great music ;)

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

well, this is a song to listen to when your in a flood.

[JayPBizzle]

This should be the soundtrack to a fucking great whale getting out of the water and fucking shit up with fire and concrete and steel and beef!

[autopsy87]

this should be the soundtrack to a really dark moby dick movie

[generalten]

@autopsy87 ur wrong, thats what mastodon did :P an entire album of it, called leviathan

[autopsy87]

@generalten just because mastadon did it doesnt make me wrong. also, Pelican>Mastadon. This song and Ahabs "Call of the Wretched Sea" would be absolutely perfect for a moby dick film.

[generalten]

@autopsy87 dude, i wasnt tryin to get u all pissed or anything, i was just pointing out that mastadon had based an entire album to it, and dont diss them, theyre great too, like neurosis

[autopsy87]

@generalten o, im not pissed man. Thats the problem with words on a screen lol, no emotion or body language. I get what your sayin. A friend of mine is always talking about that mastadon album.

[generalten]

@autopsy87 kk then

[WillLovesDeathMetal]

holy fuck this is heavy

[oli0880]

why the fuck on everyone one of their videos are there some fools trying trying to put this music into a category??! im genuinely curious and puzzled as to why you cant just shut up and listen..

[AcornMcSquirrlyTV]

This isnt a genre for you to label.This is pelican.

[GSarovich]

this is not drone doom, this is not post metal or post rock.. this is..STONER METALLLLLLLLLLLLL

[Gifmaster]

You guys are fucking brutal, respect from Croatia :)

[DunkelBurg]

Drone Doom and Post-Metal at its best!

[newwatch51]

It was great, until 6:00 . Then it was awesome.

[Marsell88]

this isnt post rock... rock is too soft for this type of sound, not that i have anything against rock, just isnt rock...

[jacklazzell]

top of a dead brownie, kuul tune though..like all of theirs

[cashflowization]

this song makes me dehidrated

[TheUnbeholden]

@cashflowization ....dehydrated.

[jajazpfile]

@TheUnbeholden

We know what he meant.

[SloppyManwich]

@TheUnbeholden I like to get high-drated for this song.

[sindrexx01]

@TheUnbeholden dehydratedted

[ParableFunction]

where are all these faggot drought haters comin from?

[Yous111111]

They should have condensed this into 20 sec and used the remaining 8 minutes to think about writing a real song

[stperea]

there is a drought here... a drought for an original idea

[cvela20032003]

Yay, cheese-burgers!!!

[cvela20032003]

@cvela20032003 But seriously, this is awesome shit.

[slimptus]

Mother fucking heavy. yes.

[Deathwing2]

Its hilarious how much heavier this is than metal. Post rock ftw

[wowthink]

@Deathwing2 this is metal lol.

[jeezuschryst]

@Deathwing2 its hilarious how much heavier post metal is than this!

[mustbejames1]

Brutal.

[urckrecords]

if I could see the video of how ridiculous I've looked for the past two hours listening to Pelican on YouTube in Starbucks! slow-motion headbanging hopped-up on chai and cheap kush shake!

[robotsforever]

@urckrecords You're first mistake was going to Starbucks. You just profiled yourself.

[urckrecords]

@robotsforever huh?

[jfeuiebf]

what vocals would you put in this , any suggestions?

[ThatTallWhiteGuy]

@jfeuiebf layne staley of alice in chains

[autopsy87]

@ThatTallWhiteGuy that would probably be insanely killer. My choice would be Wino from Saint Vitus.

[FpsDeffy]

@jfeuiebf you wouldnt

[jfeuiebf]

@FpsDeffy talk samples would be ok now and then

[Gibson889]

@jfeuiebf a guy screaming DROUUUUUUGHT NO WATERRRR IT'S DRYYYYYY CRACKS IN THE SANDDDD

[komsumator]

wow

[skullguitar]

I like when it speeds up

[craigdamage]

I wish more bands would abandon the idea of lead singers.(ego,assholes with zero talent) Who needs a goofy singer anyway? Loser who can't play an instrument standing in front of musicians and pretending to be "the front man" Screw 'em.

Bands need to focus on their textures and atmosphere like PELICAN.

Let all the out of work idiot singers audition for reality shows where they belong.

[Mr0hyah]

@craigdamage cept tool, maynard is is gud ;)

[aerozeppelin35]

@Mr0hyah maynard isnt just good he is great. i think he knows stuff we dont.

[punkmusicmetal]

@craigdamage Bruce from Iron Maiden, Jonny Craig from Emarosa/Dance Gavin Dance, singer of a band called Lower Definition, Corpsegrinder from Cannibal Corpse to name a few bands from post-hardcore and metal genres just proved you wrong. And no offense, theres way too much repetition in a lot of post-rock bands. And like this band. They're like Meshuggah. They have one riff, that they just change just a little bit for the next section of the song.

[AstronauT93]

@punkmusicmetal I know what you mean but the some how build up to a point, But you should listen to som Gojira and you will find that its pretty good

[GSarovich]

damn good song

[monsterhead13]

this is stoner metal. making it heavy as a mother fucker

[Olliemetal666]

@monsterhead13 It's not stoner metal at all. Thats almost an insulting term anyway.

[wowthink]

@Olliemetal666 this isn't stoner metal but it has stoner metal elements. it really does. its so slow and sludgy, it gives it the stoner feel. But i wouldn't classify it as stoner metal.

[MrWiggiJ]

@wowthink more like r&b

[TractorTheBassist]

WoW! n i thought what i was recording here in my home was too hard to be even heavy metal... ROCK GOD/DEVIL SAVE PELICAN!

[lknkprkninflamesbest]

post-rock? how? this is a little heavy for post-rock

[Shamanmagic95]

@lknkprkninflamesbest it's post-metal if you wish to call it that

[Akhin]

@lknkprkninflamesbest

Or sludge metal, i you don't like that tag

Really, genres are so ambiguous i wouldn't really care.

[mustbejames1]

the ground splits to this track

[gfukd]

si. mucho incredible.

[elchicotena]

I love this song

[matt41083]

labiaspreading

[u2acunt]

for those long nights we had

with no worries no calls

for our where abouts or

what we were up to.

no girls friends expected our calls or any other women.

this song goes to those memories carv in to my skull

this song will remain unchange in my memories

for now our friendship compromise for our own egotistical, greedy and curiosity...

[ultimateRupture]

[heelhook100]

Russian Circles, Pelican, Cult of Luna, and Isis are so similar imo. All these bands have that exteneded gloom/melodic sound! Very cool!

[97warlock]

ya just but fatter strings & play slower lol. these guys sound good though. good big chuggy groove , i like it. Sounds 4-track.

[falcoperegrinus82]

Jeez, what tuning is this in?

[EtherealEntity6]

@falcoperegrinus82

B \m/ !

[timkick]

They invented this tuning.

[Marsell88]

@ falcoperegrinus82

Drop B [ B F# B E G# C# ]

pretty f***ing low, theres tab on ultimate guitar, its not a difficult song, pretty awesome though...

cheers!

Dude did you copy me?

[wattheeffable]

very funny but look at the dates

[mrFUUCKme]

TWat

[Skankindragon1]

Pelican is.... Best instrumental band ive ever herd as of recent. Alot of other bands should take note, and try an make some Real music before singing to it.

[jeanbloch]

the first riff.... AS I AM by Dream Theater, or just a coincidence :-)

[jeanbloch]

not the first one, sorry, the one at 1:10 !

[momosteur]

i use to listen to this when i was 15, so nostalgic

[HikoSeijuroXIII]

Larry is amazing.

[felmar67]

Bella pesentezza !

[ChristianDeWees]

This song weighs approximately 16 tons

[5treeforest]

heck yea

[naidu17]

haha genius :)

[jesuhead1974]

@ChristianDeWees i was thinkin' 20, but.....hell yeah!

[Crepin1up]

@ChristianDeWees I believe you're thinking of Mammoth...

[baker101z]

@ChristianDeWees Weedeater.

[biker1395]

This is fucking amazing, hadnt even heard of Pelican before I clicked on this video.

Post Rock is the best thing ever created in life.

[lateraliso]

@biker1395 pretty much.

[pelican116]

@biker1395 i lerned bout pelican on adultswim



[pelican116]

@ThatAgent adultswim. com /metal

xD

[BrutalMastodon]

@biker1395 AAAAAAAAAAAH i didn't mean to dislike! i'm sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!

[ZurDruid]

yes , the drummer is not marvelous but.....

it is a great song, australasia is the best cd

but i prefer ISIS or Sleep

[helpwanted1000]

idk i kinda like the drumming not trying to do too much. simple.

[Musclefan426ci]

@ZurDruid drummer is still amazing.......he makes the back ground rythym perfect.....

[gakfootmagee]

i just read about this band in a magazine so i came to listen to them and its cool but i think it would be better with mega drumming its not effective at all just boring sounds like a school band with a drummer not up to standard with the rest of the band lol

[azurenscens]

hell yeah. gotta love the chug chug with out some fag doing gutteralls to ruin the riff.

[soadind]

awesome

[Cysquatching]

OMG, the progression of this song... I've read somewhere that they recorded the album Australasia in just one afternoon. How hard is that, one afternoon!!!

[5treeforest]

Hey dude I see you like sasquatch stuff, and metal. Check out the band Tekk. Theyer songs are all bout that kinda stuff, and u can pm me for info.

[5treeforest]

WHOA! THIS SONG IS SO HEAVY IT GIVES ME A HEADACHE! i CANT LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING!!!!!

[jca6125]

Goatsnake Riff at 3:10 eh?? This is one sick song
