Industrial/EBM/darkwave artist Corpse Dust is currently spreading his music around the country with Chicago psych-doom quartet REZN and Toronto post-hardcore unit lowheaven. Tonight, the three amigos descend on the Shrine Social Club in Boise, with roughly 10 shows left.

All three acts have had banner years, with Corpse Dust continuing to ride a wave of momentum after the strong reception of his LP, Suffer, in March. We hit up the artist from Asheville, North Carolina, who generously provided some insights into the album and tour, how Hurricane Helene – which happened roughly a year ago – affected his project, and how he much he enjoys introducing his music to new audiences.

From the Vault Exclusive: Pelican Details Each Track on Guest-Filled ‘What We All Come to Need’

Pelican’s friends are cooler than yours.

The instru-metalists have been in good company throughout their career. Out of the gate, they signed to Aaron Turner‘s Hydra Head label, which the Chicagoans called home till they recently hopped over to Greg Anderson’s similar-minded doom factory, Southern Lord.

Justin Broadrick (Jesu, Godflesh) has remixed some of their slabs, and also mixed the sound for their live CD/DVD set, After the Ceiling Cracked, a few years back.

Pelican have also been remixed by Prefuse 73; collaborated with Earth’s Dylan Carlson on their Ephemeral EP, which dropped on Southern Lord in June; joined forces with Mono, Scissorfight, These Arms Are Snakes, Young Widows, Playing Enemy and the Austerity Program for split EPs; and toured with too many bands to count: High on Fire, Russian Circles, Torche and beyond.

In other words, they get lonely all by themselves. So would you, if you spent most of your time speechlessly venturing into the far-reaches of epic riffage.

Maybe taking a tip from their Windy City neighbor Kanye – or, more likely, from classic-rock bands of yore – Pelican are now ready to let some of their amigos (beyond Carlson) play along with them, featured-guest style.
