Post-Metal/Rock?

[TartanLlama]

Just been getting into this genre. Stuff like Isis, Red Sparrowes, Explosions in the Sky are awesome.
Prefer without vocals, but don't particularly mind either way.

Wondering what you guys would recommend?

As in the title, don't limit to just metal.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

lol, I've recommended this in like 3 threads now, but listen to Agalloch. Post rock meets black/folk metal. Falling Snow is probably my favorite song, but I can't think of one I don't like.

 

[Mr. Bungle]

As for straight post-rock, Mogwai and Godspeed! You Black Emperor are solid.

 

[TartanLlama]

Thanks, but heard them, got the albums .
Edit: posted this before I read your mogwai part.
I've heard some of both bands, like mogwai but I could never get into Godspeed, where would be a good place to start?

"Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven" is my favorite

God Is An Astronaut.

The new album (self titled) is awesome, as are all of them tbh.

I think they're way better than EITS.

Does dredg count as "post-rock?"

 

[Omni]

Does dredg count as "post-rock?"

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

No, they count as prog rock.

Listen to Jesu, The Angelic Process and Russian Circles.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Check out Om. Bass and drums with minimal vocals. They're not strictly post-rock/metal but I reckon they'd appeal to fans of the style.

 

[Dysterhet]

Check out The Ocean, Minsk or Neurosis for post-metal.

Concerning post-rock, there's a lot of stuff I could recommend.. I don't like Explosions in the Sky, though.
You MUST try Lis Er Stille from Denmark and their 2007 release, which is incredible.

Some other nice post-rock bands:
sleepmakeswaves
夢中夢
Ef
The Calm Blue Sea (brilliant stuff!!!)

Is it bad that I can get into shit like Pelican and Isis, but I can't get into Neurosis?

Mouth of the Architect
Minsk
Rosetta
Intronaut

Is it bad that I can get into shit like Pelican and Isis, but I can't get into Neurosis?

Did you try their "Given To The Rising" release?
Excellent sludge.
