Jesu - Ascension

From: U.S.
Year: 2011

The thinking man's metal . . . or something like that.

Here's Sun Down - Sun Rise as well...

Tombs - Path of Totality

Year: 2011
Genre: Sludge, Post Metal

Here's the new Tombs album as well...

Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All

From: New Zealand
Year: 2011
Genre: Brutal Death Metal, Post Metal, Experimental

I know this is probably not everyone's take on this band's sound, but I've always felt like they were the perfect blend of Post Metal and Brutal Death. Kind of like a much heavier and death metal oriented Intronaut. Anyway, the newest one is everything you've come to expect and more-->>

Intronaut - Valley of Smoke

From: U.S.
Year: 2010
Genre: Post Metal, Progressive

Intronaut went a little soft on their second release, but it seems like they bumped up the heaviness on this one. Sooooo, definitely a good download-->>

Mouth of the Architect - The Violence Beneath [2010]

From: U.S.
Year: 2010
Genre: Post Metal, Sludge, Progressive

I was a huge fan of their previous full-length, and although this one seems to be a little less atmospheric, I thinks it's on par with it.

Lantlôs - .Neon

From: Germany
Year: 2010
Genre: Black Metal, Post Metal, Post Rock

Lantlos plays black metal mixed with heavy doses of post rock and metal and does it in one of the most beautiful ways I've ever heard-->>

Yakuza - Transmutations

From: U.S.
Year: 2006
Genre: Post Metal, Jazz, Experimental

Been playing this lately in anticipation for the release of their newest album. I believe the title is "Of Seismic Consequence," and is due sometime in 2010, but you never know with bands like this.

The Ocean - Heliocentric

From: Germany
Year: 2010
Genre: Post Metal, Sludge, Progressive

I haven't had a chance to really listen to this album in full, but from what I've heard(not only from the album, but from reviewers as well), it seems to have a pretty positive reception. One thing I have liked about The Ocean, is the lyrical themes it presents throughout each album. Their first effort, Precambrian, was of course in reference to various geological eras. This new album seems to be in more of my field of expertise in that it apparently refers to astronomical phenomena. But curiously I think it is probably much more broad as shown by titles like "firmament" and "swallowed by the earth" which seem to be biblical in subject (not to mention "Heliocentric" refers to the replacing of the archaic Ptolemaic view of a Geocentric solar system with the modern system proposed by Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler). So I guess it's religious then. I haven't read the lyrics yet but I guess I'm going to have to now.

Capsule - Blue

An awesome three piece mathcore/post metal band from Miami. They're signed to Robotic Empire so you know their good.
