The question was mainly addressed at handofseven

I don't think anyone has mentioned This Will Destroy You or El Ten Eleven. Both of them are major influences to my bandmates and I, of course you cant forget Explosions in the Sky. I just listened to Connie by El Ten Eleven and loved the bass tone and thought I'd look to see if there are any posts about instrumental/post rock stuff. Stoked to find this thread!

Cult of Luna, Pelican, Minsk, Agalloch (<3), Isis, Callisto, Neurosis... Solstafír's newer albums (esp. Svartir Sandar) might also be to your taste.

Personally, I find it harder to distinguish "post-metal" in comparison to post-rock, as the label connects a lot of acts from various subgenres. For example, atmospheric metal and modern doom have in my opinion already had similar attributes for a quite a while now without the post-prefix.

My dad's a massive post-rock fan, so I didn't really get the choice! haha
I love most of the above, plus ASIWYFA (And So I Watch You From Afar) and Goonies Never Say Die.

I also love Hammock! While I listen to just about everything, I lean heavily toward shoegaze and post-rock most of the time. Listening to the new My Bloody Valentine right now. Very happy.

Some other suggestions:
Tortoise
Battles
Dirty Three
Jesu
Rothko
Stereolab
The Sea and Cake
The Twilight Sad
Lift to Experience (super recommend!)

+1 to both of these posts, anything Sanford Parker is involved in pretty much.
Highly recommend checking out Cult of Luna and Mouth of the Architect and Storm of Light (they toe the line, not really "post-metal" though)

Also, what are you guys using to play this style of music?

[Gonzo476]

I play in a post-rock band that I started recently with a friend of mine on guitar and a drummer from a hardcore band. I'm definitely subscribing to this thread And now my small contribution: check out Maybeshewill. Amazing band from the UK.

Sounds great to me. Wish you guys were in my area I'd love to see that in person. It's always hard to get a decent recording at gigs like that using portable equipment. I"m guessing the low end is there but not coming through on the recording.

Ok i gave post rock a whirl, as far as i hear it , its kinda like movie soundtrack material, its cool, i could listen to it on a loooong road trip alone, but thats about it, i could play it , that might be fun.
But what does the post mean in post rock, after or alternative , instead of even, just cant get a grip on the name of the genre.?
