Metal Reviews

Hi all.First of all this is my first post so i wanna say hi to all of you.i have been reading the reviews and they are very informative for me.Because here in the philippines you wont see this kinds of albums.Even tool is rare here.So much for the other stuff.
I'm currently listening Pelican and they are really a great band.and so i did a research and the bands similar to them for me are isis, agalloch, red sparowes, mogwai, minsk,INTRONAUT, and Maudlin Of The Well in a way.Can you guys tell me more bands that you know?similar to them tnx

Ask Misha. He knows tons about that kind of music.

Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós are like Mogwai

Try Jesu, Old Man Gloom, Neurosis for stuff like pelican and Isis

And ask Noodles, he knows more bout this stuff then me and most people.

Indeed, Pelican recently turned into something post-rock, but metalish and heavy. An example of another metalish post-rock is Russian Circles.

For just good post-rock, try Godspeed You! Black Emperor, God Is An Astronaut, Do Make Say Think, Capsian, Yndi Hilda, The Samuel Jackson Five, As The Poets Affirm, enfin, I could go on for a few minutes. Some of these are heavy and Epic, others focus on beauty and serenity, and some have both.

Using Wikipedia will get you a shitload of bands by the way.

Tuddel!! Sorry for deleting your account, dude.

Wow those are alot.thanks i will try to look for those bands.Misha i always see what you and noodles what bands you recomment cuz you guys are pretty good .Eyesore its ok.You did help me fix it

Thats should be a good place to start

*brain hemmorage*

but seriously you need to hear Neurosis's Through Silver In Blood, A Sun That Never Sets, or The Eye of Every Storm. Also check out Gospel and The Postman Syndrome. And Kayo Dot, although you said maudlin of the Well so you might already know them. I know a few others but don't want to throw 50000000000 names at you


on a side note, am I the only one who thinks that the first four songs of The Fire in our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw are great, but then it gets lost in unfocused, boring feedbacky stuff for the last 3 songs?

tnx for the link stuartn15ted
i just forgot to mention neurosis .actually most if not all of the bands i know came mostly from your links your taste of music is freakin good noodles.

i kinda like the older albums of Pelican.they are heavier but the new one is also good.

I cant find postman syndrome anywhere considering you have mentioned them alot.They must be really good

haha yeah I talk about The Postman Syndrome a lot. Mostly because it's like they took 2 of my favourite bands (Tool and Neurosis) and squished them together, then added a dash of artsy rock and 70s prog for good measure.

No one else seems to know of them though... not even in a "let's care about them after they've broken up!" kind of way like what happened with City of Caterpillar >_<. I've pretty much only seen positive reviews of Terraforming though, and everyone I've played them to has liked them (even my mom, although she didn't like the guy yelling in the background ). I don't think they have any mp3 samples anywhere, but I can send you their album if you add me to MSN or Soulseek (wogbog is my name there)

Tool is also my all time fav.i think they are fav of alot of other peeps too.do you have YM? (yahoo messenger)?tnx

Indeed. Great thread that be.
