(post)Metal Monday - City of Echoes
What is post-metal? If post-rock is a genre that uses traditional rock instrumentation and sounds to create non rock soundscapes, post-metal does the same, but with metal instrumentation and sounds. Sometimes it’s lyrical, sometimes instrumental. Sometimes it’s called sludge metal or stoner metal. I like the term post-metal since I also really enjoy post-rock. Pelican are a 4 piece instrumental post-metal band from LA by way of Chicago. People expecting typical will be just as disappointed as those expecting typical post-rock sounds. This is something rather different. For more on the post-metal genre, check out wikipedia. And here’s a video of Pelican doing City of Echoes:
