i'm not denying their atmosphere being vastly different to what is often connected to post metal but the basic idea godflesh showed was mostly the same

absolutely. but it's not wrong to call them post metal imo, let alone leave them out from an educational post metal list

well shit, in that case let's also call godflesh nu-metal cuz they influenced Korn too

I had a couple of my fledglings here do post-metal lists that had godflesh as progenitors but they wouldn't call that band post-metal especially when the industrial sound is so apparent.
I only said the Korn thing cuz bands took from Godflesh the sludge and atmosphere when Korn took the guitar tones (especially from Selfless), but it's all not enough to label Godflesh either genre, just like it's not enough for Tool or Agalloch to be post-metal for whatever attributes they possess to compel people to say so.

Agalloch could easily be labelled as post-metal, Ashes against the grain is predominantly post-metal with influences from black metal/folk/dark etc etc, and the Mantle has strong elements of Post-metal too. Their other releases not so much altho they all retain some Post metal.

Not really, I'd say they have the atmosphere with a purpose part of post metal, but there is no sludge.

Well I'd say something like Altar of Plagues - White Tomb is straight post metal with black metal vocals and ocassional blast beats yet that features no sludge whatsoever. I guess it depends on your definition of post metal - i know it originated through sludge metal acts but something like Isis' Altered Course doesnt have any sludge riffing to it but i'd call it textbook post metal because its got the long, drawn out song structure, shoegazy ambience, ethereal high notes with heavy distorted guitar more so than post rock. Sludge/stoner riffing is common but not a defining characteristic in post metal or at least what post metal has become. Thats my take on it anyway

I grew up hard on post-metal with sludge, and it was what Neurosis, CoL, and Pelican were billed as while cementing themselves as my favourites over time. Once 'A Sun That Never Sets', 'Leave Me Here', 'Weight' and 'So Did We' dropped, (I say) that was when shit changed. Post-rock took more of a forefront through bands like Rosetta, MotA, and The Ocean, and especially when the classic post-rock records were getting more popular by the year. This also came out, Pelican had 'The Fire...' and shitted out 'City of Echoes', and 'The Eye of Every Storm' was huge.
point is that's my immutable opinion on the case, and I prefer the "atmospheric sludge" over other post-rock infused metal, especially with black metal cuz I like my black metal as dirty as my sludge metal.
plus I can't rightly call Altered Course a post-metal track just cuz it was made by Isis. Weight also.
