so called "POST METAL"

[J.]

I've been listening to this stuff almost exclusively lately. Neurosis and Isis of course. But I finally am appreciating some Cult of Luna, especially the debut (the song Sleep, holy shit) and Somewhere Along the Highway. Mouth of the Architect is really solid stuff. Even Transmission0 is good. Pelican, 5ive, Cable, and Old Man Gloom....

What would be some others you all would recommend? I've tried Minsk and could not get into it.

Stuff like Envy's Insomniac Doze would be a plus. That album is a beast.

I know Dirge, but can't find their stuff. I keep hearing of Russian Circles, Rosetta, Intronaut and Callisto, Khoma but haven't heard anything. So give opinions.

Cheers.

I've only got Eternal Kingdom by Cult of Luna but that album is absolute killer. Been meaning to check out other stuff so might have to do that now.

Someone on here had the Dirge albums for all to hear earlier in the year. Do a search they may still be hosted.

You've already mentioned the post-metal bands I know of, so I'm also interested to see what people have to recommend.

 

[Ars Magna]

The first two Cult of Luna albums are their best and are both fantastic. I'd normally add a humble IMO to that but, in this case, there's no point. This is fact. :Smug:

 

[Tranquillian]

Does Long Distance Calling count as Post-rock?
I like them quite a bit more than Isis who they are compared with.

 

[Ars Magna]

This is such a damn fine song (features Jonas/Katatonia).

[Dick Sirloin]

Mindrot. Painfully overlooked band.

 

[J.]

Yeah, dawning is great

 

[einride]

the song "THE WATCHTOWER" by cult of luna is ah may zee ing

 

[J.]

have you heard Khoma, i think some of the CoL guys are in that band?

Transmission0 is really great stuff.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

Khoma is pretty good, if rather Emo at times.

I'm like 99% sure I have Dirge's album on my external HD. If you still need it, I can check later.
Edit: so yeah I have it, uploading as I write this

Also, the new album by Year of no Light is great and probably qualifies as post-metal, definitely more than the previous one. It's totally instrumental.

Here's the link for Dirge's album "Wings of Lead over Dormant Seas".

It's 2 CD (2nd CD is just one 1 hour long track)

 

[Ellestin]

That Dirge album took months (maybe over a year) to sink in, but now it's turned to my favourite post-stuff album. Huge piece of introspective music, with excellent serene vs. harsh contrasting dynamics.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Mindrot. Painfully overlooked band.

Mindrot are God.

This is some really solid post-metal(rock), that goes in many different directions all the while staying cohesive.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Holy shit /\

The musician behind this is Wolftribe!

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

edit: He even does the stupid face i do in all pictures!

edit 2: that even kind of looks like my moms house.

[lurch70]

this band really kicks ass ... only saw J. mention them in passing before but they give me a nice ISIS Panoptiocon era vibe

they only do instrumentals though ...
