☠️ OCTOBER 27 ☠️ AT THE HELM PRESENTS:
Pelican | Uniform | Glassing | Body Void
It’s been a long journey for Pelican—from their sludgy reductionist beginnings in the DIY spaces of Chicago, through their tenure as forerunners to the burgeoning international community of artists fusing post-rock’s dramatic melodicism with thinking man’s metal, and to their ascension into the canon of the elder statesmen in the brainy and brawny realm of the underground rock world. The band encountered no shortage of ups and downs along the way, and those peaks and valleys often found an analog in the moods and timbres of Pelican’s sonic palette, with youthful frustrations channeled into the unrepentant dirges of their self-titled debut or new opportunities afforded by their increasing popularity manifested in the expanded vistas of City of Echoes. In the process of writing their sixth album Nighttime Stories, the quartet endured a slew of realizations, tragedies, and glimmers of optimism that guided the creative process to the most potent album of their eighteen-year career.
Uniform – Through an industrialized mill of grating guitars, warped electronics, war-torn percussion, & demonically catchy vocals, Uniform have bulldozed a path to the forefront of underground music. Michael Berdan (vocals, synths), Ben Greenberg (guitar, production), & Mike Sharp (drums) solidify their place as purveyors of industrial noise and champions of, & victors in, pushing boundaries.
Glassing – LOUD from ATX – “Sky-scraping post-metal with doomy girth, black metal ferocity, and post-hardcore bite.” – Revolver // “Shrieking, blasting, immersive, cataclysmic nightmare fuel.” – Decibel
Body Void – New England via Bay Area noise doom
