Backbone has a new album due in a few weeks, I decided to revisit this previous LP, especially the song Modernity. The band reminds me of Dirge and also Isis in some more ambient/instrumental parts. Very hyped for the new release!

I discovered these guys recently really loving them. I found them after listening to the new hippotraktor album. Anyone else digging these guys and know of any others that are similar?

Attended my first Amenra ritual on the first stop of their Asia tour in Bangkok yesterday.

My first show ever, with one of my favourite bands ever, and I’d like to think that they set the bar way too high.

Immensely heavy, cathartic, and intense all at the same time.

Setlist (for those who are interested) was:

Boden
Razoreater
Salve Mater
Plus Pres De Tois
De Evenmens
A Solitary Reign
Ter Ziele
Am Kreuz
Diaken

Feel free to ask me anything about the show!

Give it a listen you won't regret it

Post metal is the one genre that never fails to amaze me.

Albums like Oceanic, Solaris, The Beyond, and so many others are just so fantastic.

What album is your quintessential album? My quintessential album is Isis - Oceanic. That is the one album everyone should listen to.

I didn't reply to most of the comments, but I made a list with each band and album. I'm going to listen to them over the course of this week and see what sticks :) Thanks to everyone who was helpful.

Hey sickos, thought I'd share. Salvation is back on vinyl for those into that, on Earache.

When I got into post metal... over 20 years ago... this was the album that really blew my mind. There was Isis, there was Neurosis, but something about the production, the repetition, the atmosphere of this album took metal to a place I never knew was possible.

Been one that's been very high on my list of "wish I could own it on vinyl" as it's been out of print for over 10 years, thought I'd share!

A few days ago this album was posted on this subreddit. And due to that I discovered this band for the first time and was simply blown away by the detail-oriented approach and the sound itself. That led me to research about the origins of the album, it's story and inspirations as well as the very real emotions associated with it. I am a curious kitty after all and went down an absolute rabbit hole to know about this band. And after knowing what I came to know, I couldn't help but write the review of this album. Hope you guys enjoy reading it. Let me know your feedback too if you are willing to share. Tell me if you think I should have included something more in the review or if you felt that the whether I should have focused on a particular song more in the write up. All constructive feedback is always welcome because that helps me improve as well. Thanks a lot in advance for reading.

"Void In Time", a track from my first album, can be heard as an five minute field of pressure. Its chapter note gives that pressure a room, a claustrophobic one if you listen closely.

I kept wrestling with how much context to provide. Post-metal often gains force from interpretive space. A written scene can sharpen the weight, but it can also turn an atmosphere into an illustration. Once the listener knows what the empty chair means, another possibility has been removed.

The album uses two forms to keep that tension visible. Bandcamp offers brief notes beside the twelve instrumental tracks, which can be ignored until after listening. The companion film makes a firmer choice: I narrate each chapter before the complete track and visualiser. The music itself remains wordless in both.

The complete 48 kHz/24-bit binaural album is on Bandcamp. Headphones preserve the fixed room and depth, which matters to the question above.

The narrated audiovisual version is here:

Dead Reckoning... The Last Known Location moves beyond post-metal into progressive, industrial, psychedelic and acoustic writing, but the audit chapter depends most on atmosphere carrying a narrative burden. Does the written scene make that burden heavier, or does it close a door the track should have left open?

Hey everyone!

Something amazing happened: I’m going to see Amenra live in Tokyo! I’ll be there on a work trip when they’re playing, and I bought my tickets today. I can’t even describe how excited I am, especially since We Lost the Sea are playing with them!

However, I’ve never been to Japan or anywhere else in Asia before, let alone to a metal show there. I’ve been to plenty of metal gigs and clubs around Europe, so I know the usual etiquette here, but I imagine things might be quite different in Japan.

Could anyone who has been to metal shows in Japan, especially in Tokyo, share some advice? I’d love to know what to expect and if there’s anything I should be aware of in terms of concert etiquette or local customs.

Thanks in advance! I’m ridiculously excited about this one!
