Basically.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

The prefix "post" before any genre is a euphemism for "attempting to improve said genre but failing instead".

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I agree with DSE, "post rock" is the best example of what he says.
By the way what is "post thrash"?

 

[Life Sucks]

Post thrash is often used to refer to crappy bands that are somewhere between melodeath and modern death thrash, like The Haunted. The only halfway decent band often labeled as post thrash is Dew Scented. I do, however, enjoy some modern death thrash bands such as Final Breath and Deathchain.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

The first The Haunted album is a pure thrash metal heaven, without any "melodeath" or "modern death thrash" elements. The rest are boring ok.

If that's your definition of post-thrash...

Half-Thrash is the real enemy. See: Machine Head.

 

[Demilich]

So if post-rock pretty much takes some inspiration from rock and puts it up against a more "serious" musical backdrop, post-thrash is nothing like that at all is it?

 

[Mort Divine]

Ugh. The only "post" genre I care much about it post-black. I always thought that bands like Mesguggah and the like were considered post-thrash. Eh.

Post-thrash = thrash paced/thrash inflected metal with leanings towards other (more complex) genres as well, usually progressive metal/prog music in general...

Generally post anything = taking the basic archetype of the genre after the prefix and adding in other influences, while still retaining enough of the post-prefix genre to interest most (non-purist) fans of said genre. Post-rock is a good example: it takes elements of rock and adds elements of ambient, electronic music, atypical jazz structures, and sometimes even classical composition to the music. Post-black as well: progressive/electronic/ambient/experimental-influenced black metal in general...

The new Textures album is fucking awesome post-thrash/-core/progressive metal with some post-rock influences. It's way better than their debut IMO.

[byrne]

it is.

and i dont think there is such a thing as "post-thrash". a band falls into the thrash genre, or it doesn't.
