I was listening to their album The Resisting Dreamer and liked it quite a bit.

I saw the album in the soundwave blog.... but Megaupload hates me.Cry

Yeah, the first disc is pretty brutal, technical and awesome.
The second disc is just epic and brilliant.  There are too many perceivable influences to even begin to name.
 
As for Tusk, I haven't heard it but I've been looking for their album forever.  Weren't they the band that preceded Pelican?

Tusk are basically Pelican minus one member,drummer Bryan Herweg.
 
Tusk's line-up is Trevor de Brauw,Larry Herweg,Laurent Lebec.I don't know who their drummer is or who does the vocal work,but they are a four piece.

The drummer of Pelican is on the band Lair Of The Minotaur. Not Post-Metal, though.

Well, you are the post rock specialist.

 

Last time I was at my semi respectable music store it in the mall, I saw some Mogwai. Are they any good?
Mogwai is awesome, but definitely not metal.  They're one of the archetypes of post-rock.  very big, lots of dynamics (heck, they practically invented  the loud-soft-loud thing.)  I'd recommend Happy Songs for Happy People.Back to the post-metal, just found Generation of Viperswww.myspace.com/generationofvipersClap


Wait what? They practically invented the loud-soft-loud-thing? Try Beethoven
