Cool. Was just wondering a couple of weeks ago when they'd be writing a new album

More info:

Chicago-based post-metal quartet Pelican have announced their first full album in four years, Forever Becoming, due October 15, 2013 on Southern Lord Recordings. Recorded at Electrical Audio with Chris Common (who engineered the group’s last album, as well as albums by Chelsea Wolfe and These Arms Are Snakes), Forever Becoming is composed of eight songs, from pummeling metal, to contemplative ambience, to melodic catharsis. Full track list is below, as well as forthcoming US tour dates.

Forever Becoming Track Listing
1. Terminal
2. Deny the Absolute
3. The Tundra
4. Immutable Dusk
5. Threnody

I just realised I'm going to see Pelican live at Dour Festival in Europe. Where should I start if I want to acquaint with them?

Nice

The first minute or so is amazing, can't describe it but it has such a great atmosphere/feeling to it.

Yep, this is right up my alley. I need this album.

Looking forward to Explosions In The Sky opening for NIN when they come to town later this year.

Anyone here heard of Moving Mountains? Their new album is coming out on September 10th and they're really awesome, one of my favorite bands right now. Check out their new stuff on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h76DjPUppbM&list=SPawMNLVMLgQXXVkx12J-U5A_eDFyrtmle

And their most recent album, Waves, released in 2011 is a lot heavier than the new stuff, and one of my favorites, although the new stuff has my ear right now.

Anyone fans of the Japanese band Lite? Man, does their stuff remind me of Discipline-era King Crimson.

I love the post rock.

Anyone heard of Spook the Horses? Heavy post rock from NZ. Fucking good live band, brutal.

Grab their debut here for free.

If Russian Circles plays their most recent setlist on the NA tour I will be so happy. This is incredible:

309
Harper Lewis
1777
Geneva
Schiphol
Deficit
Carpe
Mlàdek

Encore:
Burial
Youngblood

I rediscovered Geneva recently and it's been kicking my ass.

Fuck that's a great setlist!

2 new Mono albums are coming out at the end of next month

Quote

The Last Dawn is the first of these two companion albums, and is the "lighter" of the two, thematically and melodically. It contains undoubtedly some of MONO's strongest songs ever, drawing on an array of influences from minimalist film score to vintage shoegaze. It is MONO at their absolute purest, executing an uncanny, unspoken dialogue with each other without the dozens of stringed instruments that have been so prominent throughout their catalog. The songs are also noticeably more efficient – there hasn't been a MONO full-length record to fit on a single slab of vinyl since 2003's One Step More And You Die – and the album benefits immeasurably from this streamlined approach. MONO have always been masters of telling compelling stories without words. But now they've proven they can do it without frills, too.

'Where We Begin' - First single

Quote

Rays of Darkness is the first MONO album in 15 years to feature no orchestral instruments whatsoever. That fact alone is remarkable given the band's reputation for sweeping, dramatic instrumentals that recall Oscar-worthy film scores. Instead, Rays of Darkness more closely resembles a jet engine taking off inside a small, crowded auditorium. It is MONO's blackest album ever, a collection of scorched riffs, doom rhythms, and an unexpected contribution from post-hardcore pioneer Tetsu Fukagawa of Envy. The album ends with the smoldering wreckage of distorted guitars and ominous drones playing out a eulogy to the days when MONO shot blinding rays of light through seemingly endless darkness.

Looking forward to Rays of Darkness most I think, I've been hoping they would return to writing some heavier songs for a while

OMG I have the most amazing boner right now.
Seriuosly, since the orchestral Mono era I always thought that making a double album featuring both sides of the band would be a fantastic idea. Never imagine that could actually happen.

The artworks are fantastic btw
