They're a great band. They're pretty traditional to the genre so its a great band to start getting into Post-Metal and the fact that their albums is FREE its even better!

I figured my next purchase is gonna be a Pelican one, which is theyre best.
 
If I cant fnd any pelican I will head for the mogwai!

I think you should get their most well known album,  "The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw" A wonderful album. Very punchy. Great for headbanging.Wink

Mogwai is quite tricky... Either "Happy Songs For Happy People" or "Rock Action" are good places to start. If you don't like them still then check out their debut and see if that convinces you.

Will do, This whole downloading for the morningside thing isnt working.

I put it in my iTunes file, and when I tried playing it nothing would happen.
 
EDIT:
 
Nevermind, thanks to some genious' of music file procedures, I was able to download the album easily!

A recent favorite of mine is Rosetta... they're a bit simpler in philosophy than Isis, but their sound is just huge.  They're just epic post-metal with as much reverb as possible on every instrument, and lyrics based on Arthur C. Clarke stories.  "Metal for Astronauts", if you will.  Their sound took a bit of getting used to, even for an Isis fan like myself, but I still think they're pretty great. 

Their debut LP "The Gallilean Satellites" is their best IMO... better than their more recent release.  It comes as 2 discs: one is a straight post-metal disc, the second is more experimental, dark ambient material... and they're meant to be played simultaneously!  A great listening experience!

Other than that....

Minsk
Callisto
Cult of Luna
MARE
Russian Circles


My favorite genre of metal!
 
Great list.
 
I'd add
 
Neurosis (post-metal's roots)
Mouth of the Architect
Pelican
Red Sparowes (slightly heavier form of post-rock)
Jesu (so so soo good)
 
 
But Isis are indeed the kings of post-metal IMO.
When the world is sick
Can't no one be well
But I dreamt we were all

listening to The Morningside right now...

so far it reminds me a good bit of Agalloch's "Ashes Against the Grain"

so, that reminds me of another good atmospheric metal recommendation: AGALLOCH!

[EDIT: bah! interrupted by roommates who don't like harsh vocals!  I'll finish this later...]

Not often metal as some of the other artists, but Explosions In The Sky has to be the greatest post-rock band of all time. I only have Mogwai, Sigur Ros, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Pelican, and I love it all, but hands down to EITS.

Thanks for your attention, it's very appreciated . BTW, I simply LOVE these vocals (apart from the ones in ISIS and CULT OF LUNA ).
May I hope for a lil' review?

Wonderful album! I like it more than Isis' In The Absent Of Truth! Its also their most Post-Rock album I've heard from them.

I'm listening to it right now.Tongue

Noooo cmon!!!! Smile the recording / production by Steve Albni is excellent, very nice, dry and unprocessed as well as spacious.  I really like everything he's done w Neurosis from Times of Grace onwards..........
 
plus the mastering is not super sickeningly loud so it'll allow for more dynamic range when you turn up that knob to 11 to soak in da power!!!!!

I have listened to it three times,I would probably give it four and a half stars. The only problem keeping from from knowing the album isnt a masterpiece is because it falls into the trap of hypocracy.
 
They have beautifully toned lead gutars, and a not so distorted rythym section, keeping the atmosphere on the otherwise positive side. Then come the very hardcore like vocals, very gutteral and harsh, making the moment more oxymoronic. Other than that, fantastic album!

So far I'm listening to it. I can't enjoy it because of the vocals, but before they came in, it was very good.
