Chicago post-metal vets Pelican's first full-length album since 2009, Forever Becoming, sees the light of day on Oct. 15th. Listen to new single "The Cliff," and, while you're at it, pre-order a "splatter" colored album from the band. (Pictured above, via Facebook).

"The Cliff" shows Pelican revitalizing their instrumental metal sound through an increased sense of band dynamics: the loud parts hit heavier than ever, while the more quiet, melodic sections have a stronger, more sophisticated depth previously unheard. The result is a band steadily releasing their best material yet.

Listen to "The Cliff," and then also check out the sludgy yet snappy duo of "Deny The Absolute" and "Immutable Dusk."
