Maybe you should try Astronoid or Sylvaine, Boney, or even Katatonia.

@boney give The Mantle and Ashes Against the Grain by Agalloch a spin

Embrace metal.

Album Rating: 4.5

I'm not trying to fully embrace metal quite yet guys, but perhaps I'll get into the habit of checking a metal album every now and then. :-]

@SCREAM I'm seeing the tag "folk metal" associated with Agalloch which is certainly intriguing.

You're funny.

As far as I know, this is the first album I've listened to in its entirety that falls predominantly under the metal tag (and honestly that's kind of arguable here what with the shoegaze and post rock influence; do people mostly consider these guys a metal band?).

Album Rating: 3.5

i've always considered them as a predominantly metal band except for shelter. but that's not the point in anything.

Album Rating: 4.5

What do you mean "that's not the point in anything"?

Album Rating: 3.5

like who cares if anyone thinks it's predominantly metal or not? you can hear there are metal elements that you actually like and it's great that you find yourself branching out, not that "so did i just listen to a metal album or what?"

check metallica at least boner dude

Album Rating: 4.5

I see, I see Art. Too bad I had to start with something you think is only decent.

Kill I do like some Metallica songs but I've never heard a full album, I understand they're essential listening whether or not one is a metal fan.

If we are going all technical here, was't Alcest referred to as Blackgaze?

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound Off

I just call it amazing music, but yea they're about as melodic and closest to post-rock and shoegaze as blackgaze gets, as opposed to a band like Deafheaven.
