I listened to Alexisonfire several years ago and really hated it. Don't see any reason why my opinion would change.

Well I don't see any reason why you needed to post that!
 
Did you check out Anathallo yet?

I saw Heima in a movie theatre, it was absolutely mindblowing. I cried during Untitled #8, it was so good.

Afterwards they played a short acoustic set, that was also fantastic, they were right in front of me as I was in the front row.



I'm so jealous that it hurts...

Sucks living in Florida.... (US) It seems to get left out of every tour for every band i want to see. It's understandable, i wouldn't want to come here either.

Because this is a forum in which I enjoy discussing things.

No, not yet. I will though. Thanks for the reminder. Also thought you'd be interested in hearing I quite enjoyed Amor Vincit Omnia. Wink

At this year's Roskilde Festival I discovered a couple of great bands that are generally seen as part of the "post-rock" genre even though I think that classification is hopelessly vague.

The first are Mono, who probably played my favourite show at RF2009 next to Dragontears... absolutely beautiful music. I really like how their music starts all peaceful and serene and then build up to chaotic noise while maintaining some kind of red thread in the entire "exploring the hollow earth" atmosphere their music has. Very otherworldly while still having a naturalistic atmosphere, if you can call space rock "music of the spheres" then this is more "music of the elements". This is probably the band which finally has convinced me to go further into this entire post-rock business, because what I've read says that Mono are very archetypical of the genre.

The other was the almighty Neurosis, though I prefer to think of them as a somewhat unconventional sludge/doom metal act I guess they go in here still because genre classifications can be a bit slippery. I had heard a couple of songs before, but it wasn't until now they really clicked for me. What I like about Neurosis is that they manage to incorporate lots of artsy techniques without in the slightest compromising their crushing heaviness or pissed-off crust punk attitude. Their music's just so perfectly post-apocalyptic, conjuring up imagery of savage post-industrial scavenger tribes doing battle with each others, radioactive mutant monsters and the occasional invading alien robots across a surrealistic blasted wasteland.

Pretty funny that the two post-rock/metal bands I saw at Roskilde are more or less polar opposites in mood and attitude, isn't it? LOL

^ I think Canopy Glow is even better. I really fell in love with Anathallo. If you want to listen to just really clever, well crafted songs that's your ticket. Also they put on one of the most entertaining live shows I've ever seen.

You think that's a valid reason?
 
No problem. I need to go back and look at the list of stuff you recommended me in that indie thread too. Fortunately/unfortunately there's just too much good music for us to be listening to.
 
But awesome! AVO is a huge fun dance party, with some sentiment too. I love it so much.

They're both absolutely incredible bands so their mood doesn't really matter...

They were doing a double header like two months ago in Philly; I was stocked to go to both shows but too many people needed tutoring due a calc final being the next day so I couldn't turn down everyone and missed both shows.

I think you could have. Calculus is totally easy and those kids are going to be failures anyway.
