French heavy psychedelic rockers Pelegrin present a soaring and hypnotic live rendition of the song »Farewell« at Saint Ouen’s Main d’Oeuvres in December 2024. The song is taken from their freshly reissued debut full-length »Al-Mahruqa« on Ripple Music.

When Pelegrin roams the lands of stoner, prog and heavy psych, it is to make a few steps into the unknown. What drives François (guitar/vocals/production), Jason (bass) and Antoine (drums) is the will to fill a tiny space that seemed vacant in the ever-expanding galaxy of distorted music. Though they stand separated by a few hundred kilometers across France, the three friends are united by a confirmed taste for mesmerizing ambiance, melodies soaked with Middle-Eastern influences, rock-solid riffs, and most crucially, unsettling songs that are always on the move. One could try to bring up a few names such as Elder, OM and Colour Haze, but that would not quite cut it.

Pelegrin charted this new path with its first album »Al-Mahruqa« (2019) and prolonged it with its successor »Ways Of Avicenna« (2023). Recorded and produced by the band and mastered in Texas by Kent Stump (Wo Fat) at his Crystal Clear Studios, both albums received praise from international critics. In the fall of 2024, the band inked a worldwide deal with Californian independent label Ripple Music, joining their international roster alongside Yawning Man, The Obsessed, Hermano, Wo Fat and 1000mods. Fresh off the recent »Al-Mahruqa« reissue, the band is now set to reissue their sophomore album later this year, followed by the release of their third studio full-length in 2026.
