I need some Vocal Oriented post-rock

So, did anyone have a chance to listen to Final Days society? 

I'm a tad beginner in post-rock but those bands havent been named, could interest you... maybe not as deep dark and ambient as you wish tho :

ef - 3 albums have some vocals here and there
Immanu El - (I don't really enjoy this one tho... too much christian oriented for me but this is ef's cousin band)
Eksi Ekso - I Am Your b*****d Wings (I love this one a lot)
The Ascent of Everest - From this Vantage (I love this one a lot)
The Appleseed Cast - most of their songs/albums

btw, I really like Youth Pictures too
I will have to look for bands named in this thread, cool.

Which one of these is the most vocal oriented? I mean I love the music, but as a poet and lyricist I feel this kind of music was made for vocals.

Listening to a song off ascent to everest right now. Beautifully gorgeous.

Edit: Now listening to appleseed cast and downloading The recommended album from The ascent of Everest. I like the appleseed cast a lot too. I might have to grab a few downloads from these guys next.

John Arch. Ex. Fates warning vocalist solo stuff. Incredibly vocal oriented

if you have liked the Ascent of Everest download Eksi Ekso - I'm your b*****d Wings... I found many similarities between those two albums.

EDIT : haha, the word    b a s t a r d      is censured... this is only the album name guys!!!

I'm going to say Anathema's "Falling Deeper" album. Not really post-rock, but some really atmospheric stuff and some lovely vocals in there. Like Sigur Ros, great stuff to just 'immerse yourself in' so to speak.

I've always liked Anathema too. I just have not heard an album by them since fine day to exit.

I love WHBWH and WS, but passed on FD because of it being remakes (even though I don't even have the originals).  But I may have to get it after all...

I always thought deftones had post rock tendencies.

This category seems hit or miss for my personal tastes.Example. September malevolence has an amazing VOCAL oriented post rock album entitled "after the darkness, there's a next". Here's a sample:But everything else by them seems to be primarily instrumental. Another band I have opened myself to lately a lot is Early Day Miners (Arguably my new favorite band because of their tremendous output).Sample:I absolutely LOVE the two albums I have by Raised by swans. Absolutely brilliant, emotional stuff on both albums. Very atmospheric. And another excellent band all around is Vessels. I prefer this particular album though (White fields and open devices) Because it seems to be at least HALF Vocal oriented. Which is a shame because their vocalist is very nice sounding. Sample:So anyway, I really love these bands at their vocal best. Please recommend me similar bands or other vocally oriented post rock (male or female vocals). Thanks.

Not really a huge fan of the vocals listed in your band selection, but the instrumentation is fantastic. I really like that SEPTEMBER MANEVOLENCE track, in spite of the vocals. Anyway, to answer your question I think that PORCUPINE TREE's LIGHTBULB SUN album in particular is something you would enjoy. I know they are not POST ROCK, but that album offers up a very similar sound that you love so much. Another album would be THE CURE's DISENTIGRATION and BLOODFLOWERS album(s). These are terrific albums that have strong instrumentals with powerful emotional vocals. Happy listening my friend. Also. Somebody mentioned SIGOR ROS. I think that is an accurate recommendation as well. :)
