Decapod: Is Post-Metal Dead?

sifFlammable 07.18.11	no post metal is alive
Butkuiss 07.18.11	Listened to Isis, Rosetta, Cult of Luna, Neurosis et al pretty much every day since about early-mid 09. Still not dead.
botb 07.18.11	nah post-metal is still alive.
acorncheese 07.18.11	fuck yeah it's dead
twlight 07.18.11	Yeah it died when Isis quit
PedalToTheMetal 07.18.11	MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT ;)

SiikTh 07.18.11	4 and 5 are great! haven't heard 1, will check it out now.
Decapod 07.18.11	Do that son! That Graviton album is boobs!
Powerban 07.18.11	Pretty cool you have Graviton on here. 2011 has been pretty quiet for Post-Metal, there honestly isn't anything coming to mind that has been released that will blow you away. A lot of it has been quite generic in structure. I'm sure it's about to stir with the eminent release of Amenra's latest, and possibly a Neurosis and CoL album sometime late in the year. As for last year - Fields Of Locust, At The Soundawn, Radare and Rosetta impressed the most. If you want some of the lesser known "decent" releases this year, you should check out VYGR, Consciousness Removal Project and Alaskan.
rockandmetaljunkie 07.18.11	I really hope it is...
burntsugar 07.18.11	Blindead - Affliction XXIX II MCMXCVI Obscure Sphinx - Anaesthetic Inhalation Ritual
Decapod 07.18.11	Dude, VYGR is great! Little known band but so good.
anarchistfish 07.18.11	Amia Venera Landscape - The Long Procession Devil Sold His Soul - A Fragile Hope Devil Sold His Soul - Blessed & Cursed
coleba 07.18.11	eternium pretty much covered it, but here's a few more: Callisto - True Nature Unfolds Intronaut - Valley of Smoke The Ocean - Precambrian
Pyosisified 07.18.11	post-metal is dead judging by these recs
Pyosisified 07.18.11	lol coleba
Relinquished 07.18.11	"Amia Venera Landscape - The Long Procession Devil Sold His Soul - A Fragile Hope Devil Sold His Soul - Blessed & Cursed" they're not post-metal, even if the first one has elements of it. they're like atmospheric post-hardcore.
xenocide. 07.18.11	Post-metal rules
Maniac! 07.18.11	Blindead - Affliction XXIX II MCMXCVI I love this album
anarchistfish 07.18.11	""Amia Venera Landscape - The Long Procession Devil Sold His Soul - A Fragile Hope Devil Sold His Soul - Blessed & Cursed" they're not post-metal, even if the first one has elements of it. they're like atmospheric post-hardcore." DSHS have some post-hardcorey songs but also some pretty ambient songs that I think would be more closely associated with post-metal/rock than post hardcore
opblaaskonijn 07.18.11	Most of the bands are generic and shit anyway. Isis and Rosetta are highly overrated imo, just like alot of post-metal bands, they just do the same thing that's been done a thousand times.
Relinquished 07.18.11	None of these recs are as good as Neurosis, Isis, Pelican, or Cult of Luna. None of them. eternium had good recs even though Swallow the Ocean and Giant Squid suck. Humanfly - II Adai - ...I Carry Angel Eyes - Something to Do With Death Battlefields - Thresholds of Imbalance Blackwaves - 0130 Caldera - Mist Through Your Consciousness Disappearer - The Cleansing Drain the Sky - Haunted by Rivers Kehlvin - The Mountain Daylight Time Kingdom - Demo Ocoai - Breatherman A Storm of Light - As the Valley of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade Tesa - Heartbeatsfromthesky Tusk - The Resisting Dreamer the last one is the best one off this, it has Pelican members
Relinquished 07.18.11	"I think would be more closely associated with post-metal/rock than post hardcore" change your way of thinking "Most of the bands are generic and shit anyway. Isis and Rosetta are highly overrated imo, just like alot of post-metal bands, they just do the same thing that's been done a thousand times." that's why it's dying just wait until Neurosis and Cult of Luna release their albums late this year/early next year and then they're probably done. then post-metal is dead. mark my words.
anarchistfish 07.18.11	Well Neurosis, Isis and Cult of Luna are pretty much the most successful post metal bands so there aren't going to be many better than them
Relinquished 07.18.11	no fucking duh
Pyosisified 07.18.11	guys CALLISTO
Shuyin 11.09.11	mouth of the architect just proved post is very much alive
InAbsentia 11.09.11	The moment Isis disbanded, post metal died. Jk I'm just being melodramatic. There's still plenty of good post metal.
rockandmetaljunkie 11.09.11	Yes, it is dead.
Shuyin 11.10.11	lies
Relinquished 11.10.11	one more album from Neurosis and Cult of Luna and I'm declaring it dead
fuckthatnoise 11.10.11	isis isnt even that good anyway.
InAbsentia 11.10.11	"isis isnt even that good anyway." Get the fuck out. Seriously...
fuckthatnoise 11.10.11	sorry 4 bein right :]
InAbsentia 11.10.11	"post metal isn't dead until Neurosis and CoL join ISIS six feet under" There's actually the relatively new movement of "post black metal" which is also pretty good. Bands such as Agalloch, Fen, Nest, Les Discrets, etc, are kind of creating a new sub genre of post metal.
ThyCrossAwaits 11.10.11	Oh my goodness, Irreversible - Sins is one of the best post-metal records I've ever heard.
Relinquished 11.10.11	lol inabsentia no fucking way
InAbsentia 11.10.11	I love me some Agallochcore
Relinquished 11.10.11	where is the hardcore
InAbsentia 11.10.11	No hardcore. Just -core
BallsToTheWall 11.10.11	http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZWpF1QGsYE enjoy
Relinquished 11.10.11	I know that band I met them before on occasion
BallsToTheWall 11.10.11	Im jealous because this song fucking crushes my soul, quite possibly the first "post-metal" I legitimately love.
InAbsentia 11.10.11	Sunden and Ausserwelt are also great bands.
Relinquished 11.10.11	so glad that you're getting to that point balls
warrar1 11.10.11	ill extend this and say post rock is dead too, although that's pretty obvious haha the problem is no bands are thinking outside the box anymore
Relinquished 11.10.11	bands aren't putting enough sludge into their sound that's what's happening
InAbsentia 11.10.11	Post rock isn't dead. It's just turning a bit stale before it improves again. Which will probably happen once GY!BE and/or Sigur Ros release new albums.
ffs 11.10.11	was it ever alive
Relinquished 11.10.11	sound is not living
Ignimbrite 11.10.11	There are still plenty of good bands around: you just have to know where to look.
