Pelican

"Deny the Absolute"

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Aug 13, 2013

While instrumental metal beasts Pelican have their new Forever Becoming LP dropping October 15 through Southern Lord, the Illinois outfit also have a new 7-inch set to drop next week. The A-side includes an alternate version of the album's "Deny the Absolute," and you can hear it down below.

While the track immediately steamrolls into an ecstatic post-metal clatter of drum bursts and detuned, interlocking melodies, a deft and damaging midsection locks into a murky, trilled-out groove. Ultimately, it punches back into fist-pumping territory, and you can stream the band's epic, instrumental journey down below.

Mylene Sheath issues Pelican's new 7-inch, which also includes B-side "The Truce," on August 20.
