Year/Genre: 2003 Post-Metal / Instrumental RockCondition: NEW Description: Australasia, the 2003 debut from Chicago’s Pelican, helped define the instrumental post-metal sound—blend ing crushing heaviness with expansive, melodic atmospheres. Forgoing vocals entirely, the band built dynamic, narrative-like compositions that bridged the worlds of sludge metal, post-rock, and doom. Its balance of weight and beauty set a new standard for heavy instrumental music and influenced a wave of bands exploring similar sonic terrain. Show more
