I vaguely remember them being called sludge metal ever so often some time before post-rock became a trend.

[QUOTE=gaslight]Nicely done, I remember reading that brief history of Post-rock on an internet site once.

[QUOTE=Wanker]Nice FG. But..

I trully apologize about that. I honestly was planning to write a personal FG, but I had some serious personal problems occuring to me. I really wanted to post an informative Post Rock thread so I looked around and this was the best I found. I intended to add the soucre and credit them, but I forgot to bookmark the site.

Sorry :upset:.

I'm getting more and more into post-rock everyday. Ever since I read br3nd_man's review on Sigur Ros - (), i've been hooked. My favorites are Sigur Ros, Godspeed, and Mogwai.

I'm also very big on Sludge Metal / Post Metal these days. Isis is definatly one of the more well known bands, with good reason. I really suggest anyone into Post Rock give Isis's last 2 albums (Oceanic and Panopticon) a listen. Another band i'm really into lately is Jesu. Imagine Isis like layers, built over very subtle guitar, and low, soulfull vocals. Definatly check out Jesu's self titled LP if you enjoy bands like Mogwai and Godspeed.

Another note worthly Post Rock / Metal band are The Red Sparrows. They are an instrumental 4 piece with members of Isis, Halifax Pier, and Neurosis contributing. One of my favorite things about them, is that if you put the track titles from their album, At The Soundless Dawn, together, they form a poem. If you like The Red Sparrows, and want to try something a tad heavier, give Pelican a listen.

Godflesh, Neurosis, 5ive, Yeti, and Old Man Gloom are very worth checking out as well. Great FG man.

^Have you heard Jesu's [i]Heart Ache[/i] EP? I ask only because I think I'd recommend it above their album.

I've only heard their self titled, and some of their live stuff. What kind of stuff is on the EP?

It's largely the same style as the self-titled, I just think it's better overall. One of the biggest differences is that the EP is made up of two 20-minute tracks, which get across the sense of vastness and being epic more effectively than the album tracks, reasonably lengthy though they are, do.

I still think Tired of Me is probably the best song they've done so far though, to be fair.

Tired of Me is definatly a highlight of the LP. I'm really interested in the EP now, I'll try and find it. Speaking of Jesu...I just got their self titled on vinyl. I'm very excited to see what differences (if any) the vinyl version has over the album.

Cool FG.

I'm a fan of post-rock. Fave bands are probs Pelé, 65daysofstatic, Mogwai, Mono, M83, The Red Sparrowes and the like.

Ah Do Make Say Think are very good too.

[QUOTE=ArC]Godflesh, Neurosis, 5ive, Yeti, and Old Man Gloom are very worth checking out as well. Great FG man.[/QUOTE]

How would you describe Godflesh? Are they more like Cathedral?

It's the same guy from Jesu isn't it?

Amplifier are a fantastic post-rock band

This has kinda been dead for a while, so would it be cool if I did a new one? I'm thinking about doing one for Soul but I fear that it will be massive. Really, really massive.

Yeah, I think I will do it. Even though the only people who will probably read it are you, Iai and the other three people who read my reviews. But like that's ever stopped me before. :D

I'll try to add some downloads and pictures.

Nice article, though i'm a little confused here.

Were these bands in the era of [I]Joy Division[/I] you mention the origins of post-rock, experimenting outside of conventional structure? Then it progressed to today's bands such as [I]Mogwai[/I] and [I]Sigur Ros[/I].

Also are [I]Public Image Limited[/I] considered a post-rock band?

oh my from the vaults....

Do Make Say Think are my all time favorite band. They can do no wrong imo.

And Mono a close right behind oh dear.
