TheSonomaDude
02.20.15 | I feel dumb for asking this but what qualifies something as post-metal? I'm not too familiar with any of the post genres. |
DungeonBoy
02.20.15 | man Giant. I saw them in a basement in Richmond back when they had just released Song. They were amazing, and I haven't thought of them since. |

02.20.15 | Post metal is typically a sub genre of metal with a heavy emphasis on atmosphere. Most bands are slower paced/focus more on the build up than the climax. Song lengths are usually longer than the normal 4 minutes in order to create a "trip" the listener takes. Riffs are typically less "catchy" but substitute heavyness in its place. It sounds a bit pretentious as a genre, but some bands are in fact really good at achieving a awesome atmosphere or just being heavy as fuck. Sludge metal would be a good place to start before jumping right into post metal stuff IMO. |

02.20.15 | Post-metal is also usually more cogitative and introverted than other metal. Themes include
philosophy, literature, politics, and self-reflection. For example, Panopticon by Isis (government
surveillance), all of Fall of Efrafa (Watership Down), Precambrian by The Ocean (formation of the
earth), and Heliogabalus by Rorcal (historical
atrocities). |
chinesewhispers
02.20.15 | Anybody ever heard "I Myself the Visionary Head" by Solstafir? 20 mins of greatness right there |
pedro70512
02.20.15 | Nope, but if this is right
"Similar bands: Primordial, Windir, Agalloch, Ulver"
then I need to get on that. |
Relinquished
02.20.15 | post-metal is either atmospheric sludge metal or post-rock influenced metal. the sludge post-metal has the best stuff and the other is really fuckin weak. |
mordvynn
02.20.15 | Glad to see Woundwort on here, song rules. Needs some Isis and Amenra though |
CaimanJesus
09.16.15 | Impulse is such an amazing song. My favorite from Blindead. |
Deez

Give yourself the other 43 seconds to get over it. |
TheSonomaDude
09.16.15 | Can someone explain to me what post metal is, exactly? I'm pretty damn clueless on the genre. |
Artuma
09.16.15 | atmospheric sludge metal, simply put. the sound is very distinctive which is why it has a grown to be a genre of its own |
Deez
09.16.15 | tacos nailed it up there ^^^ |
Confessed2005
