Post-Metal
 

I know I'm a newb, but I searched and searched and could not find a post-metal thread; seeing as it is one of my favorite genres, I couldn't restrain myself.

What are you guys' favorite outfits? Lately I've been listening to a lot of Jesu and Kayo Dot.

Is Giant post-metal?

Don't listen to it very often, but when I'm in the mood I do enjoy it quite a bit.

what exaclty is post-metal?

post rock meets metal often sludgey sometimes ambient and also progressive.

Damn fine definition. :)

Russian Circles and Red Sparowes are good, too.

I don't know; I've never heard of them.

I've always thought them to be. Hate to be wrong. I saw em live and they had a 30 minute set and played two songs.

I just listened to them. They definetly have some qualities of Post-Metal.

Could someone post a short list of post metal bands?
