hell yeah. 5ive's self-titled is amazing. I also have The Telestic Disfracture but it was a bit different, not my style. now I'm thinking of getting Hesperus and The Hemophiliac Dream but I don't know which to get first, any idea which is better?? also if you don't like the post-rock...

Celestial and Oceanic were their peak for me. Panopticon was good though, and so was In the Absence of Truth. wavering radiant was just dissapointing though.

theres still tons of atmospheric sludge bands that don't get mentioned that often though. also that reminds me. The Abominable Iron Sloth have a new album out. Haven't listened to it, supposed be good though.

nice. Kongh sound pretty good, never heard of them before. reminds me of YOB a bit. Deadbird is another sludge band that is described as down-tempo Black Metal, sound a little different though. Anyone listen to Amenra? apparently coming out with a new album soon.

just got these in the post today... Cult of Luna - Salvation Red Sparowes - every red sun and two days before that got.. Mouth of the Architect - time and withering Mouth of the Architect - the violence beneath love the painted fractal artwork on the new MotA album...

couple of lesser known German atmosludge bands. Men In Search of the Perfect Weapon and Omega Massif.

I like Catcher in the Rye, even though most people hate it. if you don't connect with the main character at all then you won't like it. but understanding Holden's way of thinking and sympahising with the way he feels is what made it good for me. just reading his general thoughts/observations -...

Buried at Sea is immense. Eyehategod, I never really liked that much. too punky for me.

Sleep - dopesmoker Sleep - sleeps holy mountain Cathedral - the ethereal mirror Electric Wizard - dopethrone High on Fire - art of self-defense Church of Misery - masters of brutality YOB - ball of molten lead Kyuss - blues for the red sun

a lot of these sub-genres diverge or cross over at some point, particularly sludge/stoner metal wich usually contains influences from hardcore punk, crust punk, grunge rock, southern blues rock, doom metal, etc. its interesting to see where these styles come from and how they influence each...

yeah man, Julie Christmas is the shit. I've heard people say they don't like her vocals or that her vocals don't work with the music or whatever but those people should be shot. I love her vocals on Battle of Mice, one minute whispering like some creepy stalker and the next she's screaming as if...

Krow had some good recommendations on this but I'll add a few... Deadbird - the head and the heart Capricorns - ruder forms survive Pelican - australasia Irreversible - sins Neurosis - through silver in blood Men In Search of the Perfect Weapon Omega Massif - Geisterstadt Lento -...

currently playing Way of the Samurai 3 on ps3. also waiting for Red Dead Redemption which releases next week in the UK.

nice. I'm giving Soul Enema a listen. Instrumental parts are interesting. you could try Grayceon, not as symphonic, but great instrumental stuff. http://www.myspace.com/grayceon
