wot?  a PA system for dooooooom?  wussies!!!! hehehe

anyways now listening to Pale Horse's 'Gee That Ain't Swell' from 2002-2003.  Very interesting (& under appreciated) UK sludge band, though this album was in Terrorizer mag's top 40 of 2003.

sludge with strong Slint overtones, so it's got more peaks n turns & the almost pristine production keeps the sound different.........  love it!!!

I really like Nadja's studio albums.  Lots and lots of layers, noise and heaviness.
 
I saw them live with Grails a couple months ago and they were actually really disappointing.  For as heavy as their records are, I expected a plenty-loud live performance, walls of amps and the like.  But they showed up with nothing but two guitars and a folding table full of loopers and effects and relied on the pretty weak PA system as their amplification, so the show turned out to be less than impressive.
 
Still, their albums are nice to crank on the home stereo and fill the house with somehow calming noise.   Approve

Asva - Futurists Against The Ocean (dooom-drone but w more variety and even some female vocals hehe)
 
Black Shape of Nexus (great ambient drone-sludge/doom from Germany)http://www.myspace.com/sadhusonofabitch
 
Hyatari - The Light Carriers (Godflesh goes minimal drone-sludge!!!)

Rosetta is one of my favorites, definitely.  TGS is incredible, with or without the 2nd disc playing.  I don't think Wake/Lift is as well-developed as the first, but still good.  I really really really really want to see them live... I know they'd just be punishingly loud and awesome.
 
Seriously though... badass reverb-worshipping post-sludge-metal + dark ambience + lyrics based on Arthur C. Clarke stories =  a tough combination to beat.

Well I like it, so it must have been a good choice Wink!
 
There's actually not that much to choose between the 3 albums, so if you like one of them you'll like the others as well. Pilgrimage is probably the best produced and has a slightly greater dynamic range, which is why I like it best, but I sometimes get the impression that the 2 of them just play continuously in a cave somewhere and once in a while somebody goes in and records another 35 minutes worth of their ever evolving riff.

Not a genre I know that much about, but I have been checking some of it out because of Daniel O'Sullivan's (Guapo) collaborations with members of Sunn o))) on projects like Aethenor. I like what I've heard of Sunn 0))) so far, but it seems to be more about sound and texture than anything else (not necessarily a bad thing).
 
I'm not sure if they fit into the genres being discussed on this thread, but I've been hugely impressed by OM. All 3 of their albums are excellent, and Pilgrimage is nigh well perfect. It just shows that Ruins isn't the only bass/drums duo out there.

woops this demands a list!

(1. dont think this counts because its not really metal or post or sludge or anything really but since they're in the genre i have to list them. Choirs of the eye and Dowsing Anemone are forever number one(s))

1. Mare EP
2. Isis - Oceanic
- it gets sketchy here. bands will leave and drop but this is what i think i like most. right now. maybe.

3. Earth - The Bees Made Honey In the Lions Skull (nobody mentions them but this CD is very good)
4.Rosetta - Wake/Lift
5.Unearthly trance - Trident (Ian check these guys out. omega massiff meets black metal)
6.Isis - Sgnl >05
7. Isis - Celestial (sludgiest album they've done aside from maybe mosquito control)
8.SUN O))) / Boris - Alter
9.Boris - Amplifier Worship.
10.Minsk - Ritual Fires of Abandonment.

A Swarm of the Sun isnt on the list and i dont know if they will be but fans of this (these) genres should check them out. i need to listen to them more to figure out how i really feel about them but i liked my first listen or two.

PS - Jody's list is really good and ill add on Mouth of the Architect to his honorables. Thumbs%20Up

hardly ever. ive done it and its cool, especially the strange acoustics you get having them come out of different speakers/players but its not ALL that. its impressive but i didnt think it lived up to the hype. def. really cool and worth doing but you dont need to. i like the vocals, sometimes (well a lot of the time) i like it better than Aaron Turner's. TongueShocked  he gets a little too monotonous sometimes with his grunting shouts.

Rosseta is metal for astronauts! I like both Wake/Lift, and the Galillean satelittes, but the vocals get in the way of the music sometimes and just obscures the whole mood. Do you actually go through the effort of trying to play both discsc of GS at the same time, becasue that is the main reason why I stay away from that album.
