Jul 22, 2019Through the years, the band has sculpted their sound into full-fledged metal, and as the burly, serpentine tracks Arteries of Blacktop and Full Moon, Black Water attest, they incorporate palm-muted riffs and Sabbathy doom with much aplomb—even if the latter closes the album with delicate, melancholic guitars, saying goodbye to their departed loved ones with gentle compassion.

Jul 18, 2019Nighttime Stories is a solid record from a unique band. Heavy metal is a genre born on riffs, and Pelican has those in spades. Purely instrumental records may be difficult to pull off, but Pelican has more than enough brains and brawn to show how well it can be done.

Jul 8, 2019This is a complete change of mood to everything they've produced previously, for the better; here they sound alive and excited to be playing. It's encouraging to note that everything hangs together very well, strung together by the imperious guitars.
