0GuyMan0: Top 10 Favorite Post Metal Albums

0GuyMan0 07.16.16	I understand many will cry foul for no Neurosis here (honestly, I've never been that big of a fan), or Russian Circles (I adore them, but contend that they are far more pleasurable a live band than individual listening). I get it, but with such a wide range of bands available you can't please everyone. Some others that were contenders: Red Sparrowes - Every Red Heart... Rosetta - Wake/Lift Isis - Panopticon Neurosis - Given to the Rising The Ocean - Pelagial Junius - Martyrdom of a Catastrophist Intronaut - Valley of Smoke
Greem 07.16.16	check: Tides - Resurface Giant - Song Mare - Mare Blindead - Affiction Latitudes - Agonist Year of No Light - Ausserwelt Neurosis/Tribes of Neurot - Times of Grace/Grace
RogueNine 07.16.16	Nice to see some non-standard choices.
elliootsmeuth 07.16.16	Good stuff
0GuyMan0 07.16.16	I'm all about Tides, giant and Year of No Light. I'll check the rest out. I had a band in the genre for a while, got to play with the likes of Rosetta, Battlefields, Gaza, Russian Circles, Minus the Bear, Tony Danza, ALOL and tons and tons of other post bands that came through. Was turned on to a lot of great music that way. Oh Across Tundras as well, loved that band.
Relinquished 07.16.16	hard props for 10 dude I used to listen to that album often during the blogspot download years. Disacknowledgment and Blueprint rules. 7 is also great, I really love the last two tracks. yea def check Mare and Tides, and also TUSK and KEHLVIN
torts 07.16.16	here's my top ten:
Relinquished 07.16.16	now check out the genre actually torts cuz you're not funny as per usual
torts 07.16.16	bad genre
Relinquished 07.16.16	wrong yet again
Deez 07.16.16	Ulcerate 'On the deathy / techy end of the spectrum' No shit.
torts 07.16.16	literally drone is more enjoyable to explore than post metal
Relinquished 07.16.16	well cuz drone encompasses more than atmospheric sludge/post-rock metal duh so you're right but it doesn't help you any more
iloveyouall 07.16.16	post-metal is a pretty bad genre tho.
iloveyouall 07.16.16	and drone is a good genre, so ya.
Relinquished 07.16.16	what I said [2]
iloveyouall 07.16.16	you're wrong about this being a good genre.
iloveyouall 07.16.16	just so you know.
Relinquished 07.16.16	wrong yet again [2]
DickLaurentIsDead 07.16.16	"I understand many will cry foul for no Neurosis here" Neurosis is one of my favourite bands, but I honestly don't think of them as "post-metal". They might have influenced the genre in a big way, but everything from Souls At Zero up until A Sun That Never Sets is pretty much its own avant-garde type of sludge metal in my book. Not really the kind of post-metal bands such as Isis or Cult of Luna play. The Eye of Every Storm on the other hand is quite post-ish, I'll admit. As for post-metal being a bad genre...it's not better or worse than most other metal subgenres. Sure, there are way too many sublevel b-grade copycat bands active in the genre, but several albums by bands such as Isis, Cult of Luna, Amenra...are fantastic. Bands such as Ulcerate and Altar of Plagues aren't really "post metal" in my book. Ulcerate is indeed more of a tech-death band in the vein of Gorguts, though they have some post-rock influences. Altar of Plagues is more like blackened industrial metal with a few post-rock touches. Both albums by these two bands that made the list are fantastic though. Same for The Ocean, amazing band, but not really post-metal in my book. More like a progressive sludge band in the vein of (early) Mastodon. My apologies for being a nitpicking asshole.
iloveyouall 07.16.16	incorrect usage.
Relinquished 07.16.16	YET again sry sach this just isn't your forte
iloveyouall 07.16.16	well, i'd rather my forte not be a shit genre, so this does not bother me in the slightest.
Relinquished 07.16.16	but you rep bladee so you're being contraditory
iloveyouall 07.16.16	bladee is a great genre tyvm
iloveyouall 07.16.16	and even if it weren't, bladee >>>>>> post-metal FACT
MillionDead 07.16.16	There are no bad genres. Only good and bad artist. Some really nice picks here. If I were making it, I'd definitely put Intronaut's Prehistoricisms on there.
Mystletainn 07.16.16	"As for post-metal being a bad genre...it's not better or worse than most other metal subgenres." don't be ridiculous it goes something like this: 1st wave black metal > all other black metal > death metal > doom metal > thrash metal > post metal > prog metal
iloveyouall 07.16.16	mystlehomie got most of this shit down pat.
DickLaurentIsDead 07.16.16	"1st wave black metal > all other black metal > death metal > doom metal > thrash metal > post metal > prog metal" Black metal is overcrowded with b-grade bands that all sound the same. If black metal is good, it's really fucking good, but waaayyyyy too many bands in that genre rip off classic bands and do a shittier job at it than the original band did.
MillionDead 07.16.16	As if that order could really be objective. Also, I personally wouldn't put 1st before 2nd. Blasty screechy is better than thrashy grunty.
Rik VII 07.16.16	"There are no bad genres. Only good and bad artist. Some really nice picks here." as a music fan, it's hard to disagree.
Mystletainn 07.16.16	"Black metal is overcrowded with b-grade bands that all sound the same. If black metal is good, it's really fucking good, but waaayyyyy too many bands in that genre rip off classic bands and do a shittier job at it than the original band did." yah, that's why I said 1st wave BM > 2nd wave "As if that order could really be objective." ofc it is, you think I let feelings get in the way of my ratings!??
Hawks 07.16.16	Lol this thread sucks.
RogueNine 07.16.16	Yeah, got some real uneducated folk.
CaimanJesus 07.16.16	I have physical copies of 10, 3, 2, and 1 Atlas moth is underrated too
BallsDeep 07.16.16	Close but no cigar. Why isn't isis number 1 and why isn't oceanic the representative album ?
teamster 07.16.16	Nice list. I love a lot of these albums. Post metal is my favorite genre - and I guarentee I have listened to more post metal than anyone on this site (yes even more than the mighty Relinquished and Shuyin) so if u want recs , send me a message ;)
portableheadd 07.16.16	I'll add these to the pile Rlyr - https://magicbulletrecords.bandcamp.com/album/rlyr-delayer side project from someone in Pelican and someone from Locrian but sounds more Pelican-like. Omega Massif - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOw_1Jd_6ZU surprised they didn't get a mention, leans a bit doom/drone-wards but still one of my favourites. He Whose OX is Gored - https://hewhoseoxisgored.bandcamp.com/album/the-camel-the-lion-the-child post-metal with some post-hardcore, good stuff whatever. Wizard Rifle - https://wizardrifle.bandcamp.com/album/speak-loud-say-nothing more sludgey punky whatever but recommended.
0GuyMan0 07.17.16	"Close but no cigar. Why isn't isis number 1 and why isn't oceanic the representative album ?" I bet if you think hard you can answer this question all by yourself... "Atlas moth is underrated too" You ain't fuckin kiddin man. I was kind of expecting some hate for my number 1, glad to see not so much.
teamster 07.17.16	I don't think I have ever ranked my favs. So here it goes.. 10. Moanaa - Descent 9. Steak Number Eight - The Hutch 8. Sunpocrisy - Samaroid Dioramas 7. Blindead - Affliction XXIX II MXMVI 6. Mouth Of The Architect - Quietly 5. Irreversible - Light 4. Dirge - Elysian Magnetic Fields 3. Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway 2.
