eternium: Post-metal Albums Ranked

eternium 04.11.10	Really been in a post-metal/post-rock mood for the last few days.
Niceinvader 04.11.10	Where's Irepress and Giant Squid?
AnotherBrick 04.11.10	still havent really found a post-metal album that i love
eternium 04.11.10	Further back. I haven't listened to either of those in awhile.
eternium 04.11.10	Which of the albums in this list have you listened to?
Niceinvader 04.11.10	I see, by the way I love seeing burst,wavering radiant, and precambrian on this list.
Prophet178 04.11.10	You don't consider Neurosis post-metal wtf? They practically invented the genre.
Niceinvader 04.11.10	I agree with eternium they may have spawned and inspired 90% of the post-metal bands, but neurosis are a genre of their own and always will be.
Sowing 04.11.10	mmm lots of isis = good
eternium 04.11.10	There isn't exactly that much post-rock in their sound. Just really slow, dark, folky, ambient sludge metal. Sort of the godfathers of post-metal. Most people agree that Oceanic was the first true post-metal album.
8bit 04.11.10	I gotta check out 9. I'm stoked for The Ocean's two new albums.
eternium 04.11.10	Heliocentric is meh compared to their other stuff. I still have hope for Anthropocentric.
eternium 04.12.10	While I'm thinking about it, everyone should check out this post-metal band. http://www.myspace.com/thewatersdeephere
kirktastic 04.12.10	i'm not a big fan of post-metal, i like isis and a few cult of luna songs, but much beyond that i can't get into it at all
Relinquished 04.12.10	Wow I hope this isn't all you heard. 6 and 8 aren't considered post-metal. "There isn't exactly that much post-rock in their sound. Just really slow, dark, folky, ambient sludge metal. Sort of the godfathers of post-metal." Most people agree that Oceanic was the first true post-metal album." I hope you're not fucking serious.
Prophet178 04.12.10	Hahah Relinquished, I was waiting for you to see this list. Seriously though, Through Silver and Blood pretty much invented post-metal in '96, Oceanic came out 6 years later. Neurosis may have their "own" sound, but they are post-metal through and through. I don't get how anyone can consider 6 post-metal either, its the tamest Pelican album, it's pretty much post-rock. Austeralasia is way more metal than that.
eternium 04.12.10	I think it's heavy enough. I still don't think Neurosis has post-rock elements, and you should know that I LOVE me some Neurosis.
Prophet178 04.12.10	That aside, you should listen to Lvmen - Mondo, its my favorite post-metal album.
eternium 04.12.10	And you should check out that band that I linked to.
Relinquished 04.12.10	Australasia rules. NightEndDay is probably Pelican's best post-metal song. Burst, I would consider Prey On Life post-metal more than the other albums. Lazarus Bird isn't post-metal that much. If that Pelican album is post-metal, then Russian Circles, If These Trees Could Talk, and Irepress are too. And everyone knows the hell they're not.
robertsona 04.12.10	4>1
eternium 04.12.10	Eh, it's debatable. A lot of bands are borderline. And holy balls at the vocals in Lvmen.
Nikkolae 04.12.10	i have every single one of them xcept 8, 6 and 5, super albums btw
Countess 04.12.10	Burst is post-metal?
Relinquished 04.12.10	Why debatable if it's wrong? A few are borderline I guess, but either they are or they aren't. Callisto - Noir Irreversible - Sins Irreversible - Age Kehlvin - The Mountain Daylight Time Latitudes - Agonist Latitudes - Bleak Epiphanies In Slow Motion North - What You Were Old Man Gloom - Seminar: Zozobra Omega Massif - Geisterstadt Seven Nautical Miles - Every Ocean Reversed Tephra - Tephra Tides - Resurface Trasmission - Memory of a Dream Tusk - The Resisting Dreamer check them out if haven't
eternium 04.12.10	I've listened to Callisto and Old Man Gloom, but not too much. I shall check these out.
eternium 04.12.10	http://www.myspace.com/thewatersdeephere http://www.myspace.com/thewatersdeephere Just leaving this out there.
kirktastic 04.12.10	eternium, they're like the godspeed of post-metal, but i didn't like it too much, still alot better than most post-metal i've heard
eternium 04.12.10	The Godspeed of post-metal, yet you didn't like it. Interesting concept.
kirktastic 04.12.10	lol well i'm not a big fan of godspeed either
eternium 04.12.10	Your loss.
Yazz_Flute 04.12.10	The Ocean - Precambrian Rosetta - The Galilean Satellites Burst - Origo Isis - Oceanic The Ocean - Aeolian Isis - Wavering Radiant Rosetta - Wake/Lift Trenches - The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole Burst - Lazarus Bird Intronaut - Prehistoricisms Isis - Panopticon Isis - In the Absence of Truth Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood The Ocean - Heliocentric I think those are all the post-metal albums i've heard...If The Pax Cecilia - Blessed Are the Bonds is to be considered post-metal (which i've seen it labeled as) it would be number 1, but I don't really consider it such.
Relinquished 04.12.10	again Burst isn't entirely post-metal yo bodom you need more cult of luna
Yazz_Flute 04.12.10	yeah Burst and Trenches aren't exactly tr00 post-metal but they kinda are. And yeah I need more good post-metal in general. When it's done right (like Precambrian and The Galilean Satellites) it's one of my favorite genres, I just haven't found many albums from the genre with lasting power.
Yazz_Flute 04.12.10	Oh i've heard Giant Squid also, it was decent.
Relinquished 04.12.10	"And yeah I need more good post-metal in general. When it's done right (like Precambrian and The Galilean Satellites) it's one of my favorite genres, I just haven't found many albums from the genre with lasting power." CULT OF LUNA CULT OF LUNA CULT OF LUNA they're better than Isis
Powerban 04.12.10	The Water Is Deep Here doesn't sound too bad. Have a listen to Amenra - Aorte. I reviewed those guys too. http://www.myspace.com/amenra
Marsygra 04.26.10	Great list, would have liked to see some Russian Circles or Gaza in the list tho
qwe3 04.26.10	"There isn't exactly that much post-rock in their sound. Just really slow, dark, folky, ambient sludge metal. Sort of the godfathers of post-metal. Most people agree that Oceanic was the first true post-metal album. " lol no Neurosis invented post metal. first post metal band ever. just because their music isn't boring as shit doesn't mean they're not post metal. what a retarded thing to say
Niceinvader 04.26.10	pigeonholing a band into a genre and then calling someone retarded because they didn't is retarded. Even if that band pioneered the genre.
qwe3 04.26.10	i called him retarded for saying the band that invented post metal isn't post metal. it's like saying bark psychosis isn't post rock
Niceinvader 04.26.10	Yeah, but some of neurosis isn't post metal because it's way too ambient and folky like eternium said.
Prophet178 04.26.10	It's not pidgeonholing when it's a fact that Neurosis invented post-metal.
Niceinvader 04.26.10	Alright then, what would you call it? If it isn't pigeonholing
qwe3 04.26.10	guys newsflash if something has ambiance and folky parts it ISNT POST METAL OMG
Niceinvader 04.26.10	So we agree that half of neurosis is post metal and the other half is post rock then?
Prophet178 04.26.10	Which is the fucking definition of the genre post-metal.
qwe3 04.26.10	no we agree that you know nothing about post metal
Niceinvader 04.26.10	that makes no sense to me, I guess i've been out of loop for some time now.
