Isis
Paulbot:
I must say, they're rather snazzy, aren't they? Been listening to them for a while, but I've just today gotten into them something hardcore. But this leads on to the real point of the topic...
I was having a debate with a friend of mine; do Isis count as post-rock?
He thinks they're 'sludge metal', but to me, they give off a very post-rock... feel. It's all sprawling and epic, and mostly instrumental. And even when the vocals do kick in, they're not really like any other metal-vocals I've heard. We kind of came to a compromise and called them 'post-metal,' but I'm still not sure.
Kai:
Many people would call them "art metal". I don't necessarily agree; There are far more experimental metal bands that are simply leagues beyond them in that aspect; Post metal would work, I guess.
Either way, Crotchduster is better.
La Creme:
Check out Behold... The Arctopus.
Then you can talk about "inteligent metal".
EDIT: I guess you could call them post-metal, but isn't there already a name for this type of epic, but self-conciously so, style of metal? There's gotta be. Christ, there's fucking folk-metal.
KharBevNor:
You mean Behold...The Arctopus, right?
Isis are kinda boring in my book.
La Creme:
yes
