Chicago's esteemed instrumental quartet Pelican are set to release a new EP on Southern Lord in the new year based around fresh reimaginings of 'The Cliff', a highlight from their most recent album, 2013's Forever Becoming, and one recently completed new song. Due out February 24 on 12” vinyl and digital formats, the four track EP includes remixes from Justin Broadrick (of Godflesh, Jesu), Aaron Harris and Bryant Clifford Meyer of ISIS/Palms, and, for only the second time in their fourteen year career, vocals.
 
Allen Epley (Shiner, The Life and Times) once again returns to the band’s fold to transform, in a complementary manner, the concept and overall outcome of what we have come to know as Pelican. No cheap juxtaposition, Epley’s seasoned voice is as broad and astonishingly capable on “The Cliff” as the members behind the music, a claim those who have listened to Epley’s contribution on “Final Breath” from 2009’s What We All Come To Need will attest to. Elsewhere on the record, Justin Broadrick and AH/BCM turn in fresh takes of the source material, feeling less like remixes than new compositions reworked from the original source. Rounding out the set is the previously unreleased song “The Wait”, a contemplative semi-acoustic simmer that builds to an explosion of cathartic distortion and melody in true Pelican fashion.

Torche - Annihilation Affair

Romeo

taken from the "The History of Death & Burial Rituals part I." 

Death is as young as humanity itself. It accompanies mankind from the very beginning and it is an integral part of life.
As the cultural differences in society have been evolving throughout the centuries, different ways of burying the deceased as well as their worship and access to the dead were incurring. In particular, the emergence of different religions in the world had a crucial influence on funerary rituals, historical and current, as well as on the perception of death. Many cults of death were born...

I have always been fascinated by this topic and that was the reason behind the conception of this work. The LP "The History of Death & Burial Rituals pt1" is the first part of the musicalization of posthumous rituals and the perception of death in different cultures and countries around the world. This is my tribute to death and its great value and importance to man.

In the first part of this musical book we will deal with rituals in the following countries:

Slovakia - ancient burial customs of superstitious and deeply religious villagers still exist in certain areas till today.

Madagascar - dance with Death, in the name of Famadihana.

Mexico - the most famous dead town which once lived though death. Enter the mouth of the ChichenItza well - where people were buried in blood.

Czech republic- "Umrlčí prkna" provide a place for Death through the long and harsh winters, so the earth could accept the bodies in spring.

India – The Towers of Silence. Here one can feel and hear death the most.

China - Hanging coffins on high rocks so nobody disturbs the peace of the dead.

The project forms part of The Jameson Works. You can watch the band creating the GIF novel and read an article about the project in Creative Review (po.st/GIFCreativeReview).

Soft Future

Wild Beasts - Soft Future

Parisian quintet COWARDS have become an unrelenting force since their inception in 2012, imposing their ruthless blend of metallic hardcore and sludge over a couple of 12" releases and stages all across Europe. Only getting stronger and stronger as time passes by, the band now returns with their second album «Rise To Infamy». These ten tracks stand up as their most cohesive work, brutally combining the heritage of Holy Terror/H8000 inspired-hardcore with devastating sludge and black metal savagery.

Carrying a deep, oppressive urban coldness behind their spectacularly crushing wall of sound, the level of aggressivity spilled on «Rise To Infamy» is hard to endure. Everything has been managed to inflict maximum aural damage; once again recorded by Francis Caste at Sainte Marthe Studio in fall 2014, the band's monstrous tones sounds colder and more massive than ever. This is nothing but a monument of down-to-earth, unvarnished violence, punishing from start to finish.

Le quintet parisien COWARDS s'est imposé comme une force incessante depuis leur introduction en 2012, imposant leur mélange impitoyable de hardcore/metal et de sludge à coups de 12" et de concerts à travers l'Europe.
Le temps qui passe ne les rendant que plus forts, le groupe revient avec leur 2nd album "Rise To Infamy". Ces dix titres se révélants être leurs plus cohérents, combinant sans vergogne un héritage inspiré Holy Terror/H8000 avec la sauvagerie du black metal et du sludge.

Avec sa charge profondément urbaine, froide et oppressive, derrière un mur de son dévastateur, le niveau d'agressivité dégagé sur "Rise To Infamy" est difficilement supportable. Tout a été poussé au maximum pour infliger un maximum de dégât auditif; enregistré une fois de plus par Francis Caste au studio Sainte-Marthe à l'automne 2014, le son monstrueux du groupe est plus froid et massif que jamais. Ce n'est ni plus ni moins qu'un monument de pure violence, les pieds ancrés dans le bitume, sans concession du début à la fin.

Terveet Kädet: Ruuvikierre

Just two years after the previous album Musta Hetki, Finland's long-running hardcore powerhouse Terveet Kädet return with Lapin Helvetti. Terveet Kädet have come a long way since the ungodly racket leader Läjä and his bandmates churned out in Tornio, Lapland in 1980, but the northern furor shows no signs of slowing down. Named mentor by bands like Sepultura, Terveet Kädet's current lineup features singer Läjä Äijälä with guitarist Ilari, bassist Jani and drummer Aki. 

Lapin Helvetti ("The Hell of Lapland") dives, as can be expected, headlong into the netherworld and bangs on the gates of hell. Hellish Lapland is filled with 18 tales about the fear of death, estrangement, human frailty and illnesses of the mind. 

Terveet Kädet will start their US tour on February 26, and Svart Records have licensed the LP version of the album to SPHC in the USA, who will press a special North American tour edition for the people in the new world.

Terveet Kädet: Elämälle vieraita piirteitä

Formed by Keijo Niinimaa (Rotten Sound), the sludgy Finnish four-piece Morbid Evils crawled out from the sewers in early 2014, and have already sparked off a buzz after a string of underground shows and the digital single "In Hate," released last. Bearing the title In Hate With The Burning World, the debut album will be released on March 6th, 2015 on CD, LP, and digital formats.
 
Morbid Evils started in early 2014 out of the members' shared love of downtuned riffs played at a slug's pace and their hatred of humanity in general, and at the brink of summer, they found themselves with an album's worth of original material. Recording sessions and post-production took place throughout the hot season in the darkness of the band's own rehearsal room. The album was created from start to finish with a strongly organic approach, and much of the instrumentation was recorded live. Comments Keijo Niinimaa, "We have a desolate worldview, and our aim is to create soundscapes that suck the listener into fiery sewers in which there is no hope for a future."
