Californian progressive act Giant Squid present one of the most interesting and unorthodox takes on maritime metal the genre has ever seen. While acts like the Ocean and Ahab wax poetic on the wonder and torture of the open water (respectively), Giant Squid's slow, methodical, post-metal dabbed delivery evokes a scientific, inquisitive look at the sea that, combined with their erudite song names and lyrics, makes for quite the unique experience.
It's been nearly four years since their last record The Icthyologist was released, and the band have finally broken their silence today with a new record 'Minoans', slated to be released this October!
