The PELAGIAL box sets have not been shipped yet! We are still waiting for the box sets to arrive. They are expected to clear customs this week and we will start packing and shipping on Friday, as soon as they arrive. This may take a while though, as it's close to 1400 preorders… so you can expect it end of May (Europe) or beginning of June (overseas)... please bear with us, it will be worth the wait. Everyone should have received their download codes by now; if you haven't please email shop@pelagic-records.com and we will sort you out instantly.

cheers!

One of the amazing things about Swedish instrumentalists EF is that they are sweet and heavy at the same time; that they can win over an indie or post-rock crowd as much as a metal crowd. EF's 3rd and latest full length release. 2nd edition, the first one is already sold out. If you loved "Delusions of Grandeur", you will surely dig this album as well... epic, lenghty compositions, unrivalled atmospheric density, outstanding songwriting... for fans of Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, This Will Destroy you... but EF really are a league of their own.

After 2 years of relentless touring in North America, Europe, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and Australia, The Ocean have resurfaced with what could be their deepest and most trailblazing piece of work to date, Pelagial: a progressive musical journey, written, recorded, mixed and to-be-performed-live as one single 53-minutes piece of music. Mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Witchcraft) at Fascination Street Studios in Örebrö, Sweden, Pelagial is set to be released on April 26th / 29th (Europe) and April 30th (North America / world) through Metal Blade Records.

Pelagial will be released as a 2xCD, including a vocal and an instrumental version of the album. The CD version (on Metal Blade Records) comes in a 10-panel digipak with epic artwork by

Swiss trio Coilguns are set to release their debut album "Commuters" on February 22nd (GAS) and February 25th (rest of Europe). CD and LP with silk-screened cover artwork are available now for preorder, check the shop page!

"Commuters" was entirely recorded live, every song in one take. The incorporation of synths and more guitar and bass loops has added more depth to their original punky yet heavy sound. Some tracks on the album are featuring up to 5 guitar players at the same time. No overdubs or edits have been made on this record except for the vocals.

Coilguns have been pushing their boundaries to find a unique and most certainly odd sound, and by simplifying their songwriting, they've intensified and emphasized their heavyness.

Here's a video trailer:

The band will be on tour in February to support the release. Here's the facebook events page:
