Pelican Added To Roadburn Festival Lineup

Posted on Thursday, October 27th, 2011

We’re excited to announce that seminal instru-metal pioneers Pelican have been added to the lineup of Roadburn 2012. Pelican last played Roadburn in the Green Room back in 2007, and will now appear on our main stage as part of their first European tour in several years.

Pelican is a monument to the RIFF. A glorious, majestic Riff that crashes down upon you in its relentless energy. Seeking, probing, moving, changing, resolving and reforming. A totemic monolith of electric guitar melody overlayed with countermelody, feinting and ducking the rhythm one moment and embracing it in the next… a force as undeniable as a flash flood… building and churning and frothing into a frenzy. To try and deny this energy is not just futile, it is foolish. You must meet this force with force, head on, squared up, and fully prepared to be taken wherever Pelican decides to take you.

Pelican will play on Saturday, April 14th, 2012 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Album of the day: Noothgrush – Live For Nothing

Posted on Monday, September 26th, 2011
