If you like Explosions, check out This Will Destroy You. They're pretty much a straight clone.

Mogwai is also a also very good Post-Rockish band, though they have vocals occasionally. Joy Wants Eternity is also very, very good.

Hey it's just a discussion pal. Don't wet your pants. Everything will be alright. Someone was cautious enough to link the info. ;)

Agalloch (my favorite) Jesu Mogwai Pelican (be warned, it's instrumental) Star of Ash Ulver (recent cds. they used to be black metal) Primordial Baroness (The Red Album was one of the best cds of last year, imo) Circa Survive (to some extent) Daylight Dies (may be a little too close to doom metal for your tastes) Ghost Brigade Katatonia (verge a little too close to straight out rock, but still very very good) Enslaved (technically progressive black metal, but in their progressiveness, i think that at times they verge on being post-black metal) Intronaut Ghost Brigade Boris Envy Year of No Light Gantz (if you like Cult of Luna, you'll be down with Gantz) Trust me man. I've been listening to this stuff for some years. It's all good.

^^Thank you, and Instrumentals are wonderful, sometimes better than having vocals.

But you say Primordial are post metal :? They are my top band but never thought of them to be post metal...

EDIT: And yeah, Agalloch is pretty amazing, they are what got me exploring post metal and such :P

I'll admit that I hesitated on that one. They aren't any more post metal than Enslaved are really. I think that both Primordial and Enslaved have post-metal elements, but yeah, I probably wouldn't stick them in post metal if i had to nail them down to one genre. That said, since they're your favorite band, I think I hit the particular taste nonetheless didn't I? :P No worries. I'm actually listening to Agalloch and Gantz right now. Oh and someone said that Intronaut is sludge metal. That's just not correct. They're closer to hardcore than metal. Post-hardcore, imo.

Man, how have you liked the new Evpatoria Report? Anywho, moar post-rock? How about

-Godspeed you! Black Emperor

-Gregor Samsa

-This Will Destroy You

-Grails

-Pg.Lost

-Pyramids(but they're really, really out there. Just a warning. I've been told numerous times they're a fusion of death and post-rock, but all-in-all they're simply brutal)

-Do Make Say Think

-Slint (one of the so-called pioneer bands)

-Fly Pan Am

-Esmerine (not exactly post-rock, but definitely has a sound related to it)

-Cul De Sac(another so-called pioneer)

-Labradford

-Dirty Three(droney ambientish post-rock)

-Mono

-Rachel's

-Early Day Miners(more soothing post-rock)

-The Timeout Drawer

-Saxon Shore

-Four-tet

-A Northern Chorus

-HREÐA

-Yndi Halda

-Caspian

-65daysofstatic

-El Ten Eleven

-Antennas to heaven(rip off GY!BE, but they're not a bad band, just kinda generic, but a decent listen)

-Mogwai

-Friends of Dean martinez

-The Six parts Seven

-Maserati(if I recall, they're post-rock)

-Pele

-The Samuel Jackson Five

-Set Fire To Flames

-Magyar Posse

-Friends In The Mountains

-Tarentel (early Tarentel though, unless you'd be interested in their newer, more droney stuff)

-Andydicktracymorganfreeman

-Logh

Just going by memory. I might have mixed one or two bands up here or there on the list, so don't be appalled if you stumble across something more ambient than post-rock.I might stop by and list some more later if I get time to check my library

Also, if you're into the more metal side of things, theres a band called Nadja that does drone metal that's absolutely outstanding. They're immensely prolific and probably haven't put out anything that's not at least "great". Their new album "The Bungled & The Botched" is absolutely riveting.

"non-traditional Rock" isn't that terribly descriptive.

-The Six parts Seven

These guys are probably my favorite band of all time.

I almost recommended them, but the TC asked for post rock/metal so I figured that they'd be too chill for him.

If there's something I've learned from past recommendations of post-rock, people tend to be able to slide up and down the "intensity" meter of the music with little issue. I've got a lot of friends who like metal, and I recommended them Pelican, and told them to explore Post-rock a bit, and now they're listening to Esmerine and Tarentel. I've got friends who are "top 60" steady listeners who wanted some "good instrumental" music after my informing them Explosions in the Sky did much of the music for Friday Night Lights, and after getting them on the fast-track to more Explosions in the Sky and Saxon Shore, many are in the Isis and Nadja bandwagons, and one is even into Pyramids. :? It's a pretty universal genre.

To be honest, only two of Talk Talk's albums could be considered post-Rock. I was thisclose to mentioning them, but decided that listing them could give people flashbacks of "It's my Life", or 'Life's What You make it", and that could scare people away from my list. :P Good list though. :D
