r/postmetal

Not sure if We Lost the Sea counts here, but listening to Departure Songs definitely digs into my heart in a certain way. Does anyone else have any songs that make them emotional?

.......Russian Circles release their new album in 12 days

That's all

Happy Sunday and all that

Jesu feels really cold, yet sentimental, that there is still love in the world, but it’s gonna be a freezing journey that challenges your will to achieve it, it makes me feel like I am shedding tears of simultaneous joy & melancholy.

Panopticon by ISIS gives me an uncomfortable reminder of the surveillance state hellhole, as the distance of Winter season turns into the hot & claustrophobic feeling of the city state creeping in further, while the clarity of Spring kicks in.

SLEEP’s Dopesmoker feels like the warm fuzzy joy of Summer in memories, the longness of trips through arid & hot landscapes I experienced in childhood, the satisfying journey to meet distant family.

Eternal Kingdom by Cult of Luna makes me think of the pretty pastoral illustrations of nature in Fairy Tale books, but the deeply unsettling predatory elements hidden in the deceivingly peaceful nature. Something of it feels like a scary tale told during October or near October in Autumn.

What are your Four Seasons?

I prefer Enemy Of The Sun more than Through Silver In Blood. It's the first true/full post metal album from Neurosis.

I love the opener (Lost) and closer (Cleanse I) so much. Enemy Of The Sun just has that eerie sludge factor that I love.

Through Silver In Blood in my opinion lacks the ebbs and flows that Enemy Of The Sun has.

Through Silver In Blood is a great album still. It's still genre defining, however I prefer Enemy Of The Sun to it.

I know post-metal isn’t really known for this, but “Ayil” by Rosetta just gives me such a hardcore punk, “live chaos” kind of energy. I’m not sure if Night Verses counts here, but some of their heavier songs make me want to get up and move.

Any songs in particular give you this kind of feel?

So it’s obvious that Neurosis, Isis and Cult of Luna are the big 3 with Amenra, Russian Circles and Pelican not far behind. Who else would you say is worthy of the coverted top 10?
