I just find it kind of pointless for you to appear on many Pro-Pogressive Metal and related threads and post something like you just did. Sorry.

not only that, but ripping comedy material straight from Dr. Thorpe on somethingawful.com

again, for those interested in some original heavy post-rock featuring one of your favorite post-rock specialists: http://www.mediafire.com/?brx2hl90txm

Post-metal is my favorite genre of metal as well (along with doom and other slow or avant-garde bands)!


I'll try to give you a full list of the bands I know of along with others closely related:

Rosetta
Manatees
Callisto
Isis
Cult Of Luna
Minsk
Mare
Kongh
The Pax Cecilia (giving their latest album for FREE. See details in their website)
Irepress
Russian Circle
Tephra
Omega Massif
Empires
Adai
Baronnes
Lorus
Bossk
Intronaut
Neurosis
Tides
Pelican
The Morningside (you can download their album for FREE here)
Khoma (the only post-metal band I know of with CLEAN vocals)
The Ocean
Keelhaul
Mouth Of The Architect
Battle Of Mice

The ones underlined are recommended for starters on the genre.

I hope that this list will help you in your adventure through the genre.

BTW, I'm trying to promote those bands by adding them since many of them aren't really in the archives.

You've got me interested with some other bands as well

ProgBagel wrote: Pelican is just absolutely amazing in my opinion. Cult of Luna and Russain cirlces are some other good post rock bands. Some related to that genre would be Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well...pretty much the same band, post rock with a little avant.

I'd just like to say that in no way, shape or form are Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well Post Metal. MotW is an Avant-garde metal band and Kayo Dot are an avant garde band with metal tendancies, with the last two troacks on Dowsing Anamone... being the only ones with some Post Metal influence. IMO.

it's not rubbish, it's my oppinion as a Prog fan, a matter of fact is that "post-rock" has mostly young fans, older people don't even really pay too much attention for this stuff...wonder why.

man, Post-rock or Post-metal has never been PROG, understand that, the fact this site lists bands like Cult of Luna doesn't mean they're really Prog...

A friend of mine, who is in his late 40s, loves Kayo Dot and Godspeed. He has listened to prog and jazz since he was 15, and is now mostly into classical music, though still with a love for prog such as Gentle Giant, Tasavallan Presidentti, King Crimson etc.
I think it's a question of musical imagination...

Anyway, as I mostly like the more experimental side of prog metal (besides bands like Opeth and Enslaved), I find the new categories very useful
