The secretive instrumental art metal outfit Pelican was formed in Chicago by guitarists Trevor de Brauw and Laurent Lebec, as well as bassist Larry Herweg and his sibling drummer, Bryan. Owing a great debt to pioneering forefathers Neurosis and often compared to Boston's Isis, Pelican coincidentally also found a home at Isis mastermind Aaron Turner's Hydra Head Records. After making their debut with an eponymous four-song EP in 2003, Pelican expanded their epic, otherworldly trance-metal with 2003's critically acclaimed Australasia, followed in 2004 by The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw. After heavy touring, the quartet took a much-deserved break. They returned to the studio in 2006 and released City of Echoes in June 2007, followed by the live CD/DVD After the Ceiling Cracked later that December. What We All Come to Need, the band's fourth studio effort, appeared in 2009. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia & Thom Jurek, Rovi
This reminds me a lot of Mastodon's album Leviathan despite Brann's epic drumming. I'm not necessarily saying these guys' drummer is bad :P Either way this is a great instrumental.
Sweet tunes. Im glad I discovered them. And the drumming is just fine.

this band gave me an adrenaline high when I saw them live. Absorbed into the music, absorbed into the beauty, and the amazing atmosphere they create. Seriously one of the best shows I've ever been too :D
yo steve your a total a**hole, i don't know what your listening to but the drums definately don't ruin anything, maybe you should listen to all their material before making a judgement off of the two pelican songs you probably listened to off pandora.
I'd love Pelican, except the drums stick out lick a sore thumb on every song. It's irritating. Sometimes we need quiet drumming to go along with a low-tempo, quiet song. Instead we get this. I want to like Pelican, but the drums ruin it.
They played at the bar I work at, The Blind Pig, with The Russian Circles a couple years back and I fell in love with them! They are absolutely amazing live, cant wait to see them again. We need more bands with talent like these guys.
America has plenty of good bands, they just take different form than the greats across the pond. Honestly tho, Scandinavia is stock full of crazy phenomenal bands (mostly Folk Metal and Black Metal) where you have to pay attention to find good American bands.
